It's honestly pretty great it's frustratingly good, in fact, because it doesn't feel much better to use than does TextEdit. What I've found actually matters for my day-to-day and gets me to actually take lots of notes, though, is just (1) search and (2) sync - I need my notes mirrored onto my phone.įor several years I just use Apple's Notes.app. There's a lot of things people tend to want from note-taking setups: easy entry, navigation and organization, wiki-like linkages, export to various formats, encryption. This is going to be one of those threads where everyone rattles off their own note-taking setup, which is great and all.
