Apple Notes is my go to. Plenty of great new features, but the core is still snappy and easy to use.

Have you found a good way to export a backup, instead of only cloud sync? Too to lose content by deleting by accident and then syncing.

  Apple Notes keep all deleted notes in a trash bin for 30 days, you won't lose anything unless you manually go and remove them.

    Deleted notes are easy to recover; deleted text not so much.

      This is the real problem I have. If I delete content, move to a different note, and return to the first note, I lose the undo history and any possibility of regaining the deleted text.

Same, ever since Apple FINALLY added categories. It took years and years for them to learn that this is essential. Mainly I rely on Notes because they're synced through iCloud. I can add stuff to my grocery list as I think of it throughout the day while working on my computer, and it's on my phone when I roll to the grocery store. I don't like that they're not in a standard format, however. Oh, and the incredibly ill-conceived "share" function. In any other Apple application, "share" means (essentially): E-mail or text-message a copy of this. But if you "share" a note, the other person HAS REMOTE EDITING CAPABILITY ON YOUR NOTE. I discovered this by accident when I sent a recipe to my sister, then opened it months later to find stuff she had typed into it. The privacy failure here is just appalling. WTF, Apple? Then there are the mysterious deletions. I've looked for notes that I knew were in there, only to find them under Deleted... fortunately before they were purged. In those cases, the iCloud syncing would've meant they were gone forever. Again, WTF Apple.

Any idea how to export apple notes? Last I tried I went on the official apple note discord and their response was basically "lol you shouldn't use apple notes for more than like 10 notes so you're out of luck". I have like 1500 notes that I want to export
