I've tried the following:
- Evernote: didn't support markdown so gave it up
- OneNote: UI is too much, like PowerPoint. It's not a text-based note app.
- Quiver: https://happenapps.com/ https://happenapps.com/ I bought this app. It's great. I've been using it for a long time. But I gave it up when I found notion.so. Quiver doesn't allow me to sync multiple notebooks. Under each notebook, you cannot have a sub-notebook under a notebook (like a folder inside a folder). It doesn't support global search.
- SimpleNote: bad UI. The render is buggy.
- Notion.so: So far it's my favorite. But the desktop app is slow. Especially for work, I need to take a lot of quick notes.
- Joplin: quickly tried but gave it up. Slow and bad UI.
- Notable: https://github.com/notable/notable https://github.com/notable/notable Nice, clean UI. The render is fast. A great feature of notable is that it has a "copy block" button for the code block. I love the feature. But the problem is I cannot use cmd + w to close the window, it always pops up a confirmation modal. (IMAO, modal is the worst UI ever invented on this planet.) No updates recently. I am willing to pay this app if a new version comes out.
- Fsnotes: https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes Nice, clean UI. But the render is buggy.
- Bear App: https://bear.app/ https://bear.app/ Nice clean UI. But the weird thing is in all the other markdown I've used, "-" is for a list, "[]" is for a to-do list. But in Bear, "-" is for a to-do list, "*" is for a list.
I ended up paying two apps, Notion for personal stuff, Bear for work.
- melling 7y agoI believe Bear Markdown compatibility mode lets you use “-“ for lists.

- tmikaeld 7y agoHave you tried https://www.notejoy.com https://www.notejoy.com ? It has e2e encryption, 2-fa, markdown, fulltext search and collaboration and a super-clean UI. It's missing tables feature though, but it's on their roadmap as currently being worked on.
- wkornewald 7y agoThis doesn’t look like real end-to-end encryption. There is no mention of the encryption keys staying only on the client device. The description sounds very shady as if they’re intentionally trying to be misleading.
- vs4vijay 7y agoHave you tried StandardNotes https://standardnotes.org https://standardnotes.org ?
