I save my notes as text files (markdown format). It is universal so its not dependent to any app. It is searchable and future-proof. I save them in Apple iCloud so it auto-syncs to my iPhone and use iA Writer app to read/write to it. I used to use GitHub and git app (Working Copy app) on my phone to sync between devices.

- kevinslin 6y agosince you're using markdown, I would check out https://dendron.so https://dendron.so (disclaimer, I'm the author). its an open source, markdown-based note taking app that works with markdown notes on your file system. also supports back-links, hierarchies, tagging, and more. its built as a plugin for vscode so you also have access to vim keybindings and anything else you might need with vscode extensions
