Being able to drag and drop images to a note and annotating it is super useful to me. Also, being able to pickup writing or sketching on the iPad or iPhone works superb. Being part of the walled-garden and all.
I wanted to try Bear after reading your comment. But, I don’t need yet another subscription software. If it was a one time paid app, I would have thought of it, but subscription just kills it for me. It boggles my mind why I should pay subscription for a note-taking app. Just let me pay for the current set of features and let me use it as is however long I want. If I want to upgrade, I’ll choose to pay then. :-( may be I am getting old.
- codq 5y agoThere’s been a rise in notes apps inspired by Bear’s style but without a subscription, and I’ve tried a few, coming away with UpNote.app as the winner. It’s beautiful, multi-platform (Mac, iOS, Windows, Android), and has a super-responsive dev who’s already implemented a few of my suggestions. Bear development seems glacial compared to UpNote. I’m extremely happy with it! http://www.getupnote.com http://www.getupnote.com
- reacharavindh 5y agoIt looks interesting. Ticks (almost) all my boxes of needs. Even has a 129 Kr lifetime purchase option which sounds very good. I frequently use my Linux workstation and access my Apple Notes via the web interface for iCloud. Do you know if there is a web interface for upnote? for all those Linux users?
- jkmcf 5y agoWhile I don't despise subscriptions, I do despise subscriptions priced disproportionately (IMO) to the value and my usage frequency. Bear is priced appropriately. Can't wait for the new version (some anticipate 2030, but I'm optimistic based on the new Panda editor beta).
