#FSNOTES VS BEAR MAC#

Sync - I write my notes on my Mac while working. Forcing me to first upload an image somewhere, and then use () syntax to correctly load the file in MarkDown is the opposite of what I want my Notes application to be.Ģ. Drag and Drop images, screenshots, annotate them in place. I've yet to find anything that matches Apple Notes.Īpple Notes takes the crown for being the most unobstructive when it comes to taking notes.ġ. I previously used Evernote, and I've tried Notion (slow, awful for organizing, "block model" gets in the way of writing). But Markdown is a compromise - things like asterisks and underlines are less legible than the bold and italics they represent (especially across more than one word), and links become nigh unreadable, not to mention things like inline images and tables. I think Markdown is fine for technical docs, where no good standard for rich text editing exists. My heart sinks when a new note-taking app boasts of Markdown support, as if that's a good thing. I also like that Notes is rich text all the way. It's not quite as elegantly real-time as Google Docs, but we don't need that as much, since we tend to edit at different times.

We use it for grocery lists, dinner planning, travel planning, and many other things. I use Apple Notes, and I constantly share notes with my wife - and entire folder structures, too. So as expected, in the course of writing this post, I stumbled across Falcon.I keep seeing apps like these, and what they almost never have is sharing notes between multiple people. My notes and text files are like weather apps, I just can’t stop fiddling with new apps, new systems, new approaches. FSNotes also has a Mac app, which works fine, and which I purchased to throw another $3 the developer’s way, but don’t use much. FSNotes works well on iOS, able to find notes, and add content to notes from my iPad.

The Archive has great UI, themes, and full-text search.

The Archive $20 on the Mac, pointed at FSNotes' Mobile Documents/ as the notes directory.

Note files stored in FSNotes iCloud directory (sync).

Brett has said he is working on a successor to nvALT, which I eagerly await. It worked well, but development on nvALT long-ago ceased. I was a long-time user of Notational Velocity and later Brett Terpstra’s nvALT on the Mac with 1Writer on iOS - all text file notes stored in 1Writer’s iCloud directory, nvALT pointed to that directory in Mobile Documents/ on Mac. I would much rather a larger up-front purchase price, impulsive purchases are no-problem for me (a separate, but at least one-time, problem no doubt). Besides, I have a dislike of app subscriptions, I can only subscribe to so many things, every month I am reminded to reconsider my decision. Bear was great, but I didn’t like the files inside a SQLite database approach - having to run an export to have a backup was too much trouble. Anything that doesn’t store notes directly on the filesystem in text files doesn’t last long with me. Like David Sparks I have tried a number of note systems over the years, including Bear and Apple Notes. This involves finding existing notes (search), and adding new note content. I need to be able to get to my notes, easily, on multiple platforms: Mac OS, iPad, iPhone. MailMate on the Mac for all email, fantastic search, but that is a topic for another post. My notes and my email archive are, in effect, my work “memory”. A touch of Markdown, but rarely rendered Markdown, just bullets and headers in the text for organization.

No attachments, no embedded content, no tagging. Location (if not a phone call, where was I, helps the memory).
