Subject says it al:
I am curious which notes app do you use? I am very tnterested in personal knowledge management, for now I personally use a mixture of drafts for the Mac and apple notes. I've installed upnote but haven't played with it jet.
Curious what others use for note taking on their Macs and maybe other devices.

I personally love simplenote for note taking. It syncs across all platforms via apps for windows, mac, and IOS. There's a tagging system, plus it's nice because when the keyboard is hidden, it actually displays text line by line as you formatted it, whereas Apple's Notes app just makes it one big chunk of text. I love how simple it is!

I heard Jonathan Mosen talk about one call draft. I think that is the name. Suppose to be great. He did a podcast on it.

I have tried a few others. Access Note from APH, Evernote, MS OneNOte, but I end up getting lazy and going back to Apple. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just installing Simplenote right now, we'll give it a spin.

Hi Mathew,

why do you use one note?
I know one note on windows, I have mixt results withit overthrew, probably because of the various editions of the app.
how does the app perform on Mac?

Personally, I've been using Apple's Notes app for a while now, mainly because it syncs seamlessly across all my devices. It's super convenient when I jot down ideas on my iPhone and later flesh them out on my MacBook. But I've heard great things about other apps too, like Bear and Evernote. They seem to offer more advanced features for organizing and tagging notes, which could be handy depending on what you need.

One app I recently came across is this cool one at https://notesonline.com/. It's got a sleek interface and some unique collaboration features that caught my eye. It's always nice to discover new tools that might just fit your workflow better, right?

I always liked Apple notes a lot. A shame there's not a very easy way to sync with Windows. But Apple Notes always did everything I would ever need. And, upon making the switch to Samsung, my notes did transfer over but man, Samsung notes is not any good.

Although the Apple journal app is new, this also might be a Haven for your thoughts to written down. I also use Apple notes, however. I'm only just breaking into the journaling app, so can't offer much in the way of its effectiveness just yet. Along with others, Apple notes has served me well, I'm glad they're adding more features. Happy writing.

Word and Apple notes. With words I am able to use it in my windows PC and in my phone to check data.
