UX leaves a lot to be desired, is the least I can say about it if I can’t call that downright horrible. This being not a native app screams in your face, I mean it shows.
But then the other apps that I find useable have their own unique challenges — Bear is completely subscription based - for my level of usage, that doesn’t make sense.
UpNote - is unapologetically not ee2e. That’s just unacceptable. UX wise it’s really good though and it’s cross platform.
FSNotes - has miles to go in design and also stability. I used to recommend this a lot earlier, but after buying the app and using it for quite sometime I realised, it just doesn’t cut it. Not even close to being in the league of top native note taking apps.
So I am stuck with SimpleNote (if course no ee2e; it’s my legacy note app, looking to move away) and Bear (I don’t think I’m willing to pay subscription fees monthly/yearly forever for my non heavy-duty note taking).
- eviks 4y agoYeah, so much collective effort spend on the notes app, yet not a single great one :(
- voltaireodactyl 4y agoFor what it’s worth, Joplin is pretty close for me. I’d love a version that took full advantage of Mac native stuff but even the version that exists is pretty rad. NotePlan is the only thing that keeps me from going all in on Joplin — it’s pace of development is fantastic if you’re apple only.
- noir_lord 4y agoJoplin is excellent, that you can sync to a local directory (bit finicky to setup) is a massive win since I just write to a directory under syncthing (also amazing btw) and my notes are seamlessly available everywhere for me.
