Bear

A beautiful, flexible writing app for notes and prose

Jonathan JamesAlways Reaching. · Written
I like Evernote enough, but sometimes I find myself using bear-writer.com/ (Pro) if I'm needing to go straight to Markdown quickly, You should be asking what end-use does the content you put into Evernote have (?) and How could you see this content being better referred back to within a different platform? Once you save an Evernote, you typically refer back to it for some reason, this reason decides how effective Evernote is at doing it's job, for me, I refer back to Bear for notes that are strictly composed of text + images + links (markdown) - For Evernote I refer back to notes that are composed of voice-recording… See more

With the improvements Apple has made, I've started using Apple Notes. If your on Google Apps then Google Keep is solid and integration with your docs is automated.

I've got a ton of stuff in my Evernote account and as a tool to catch stuff that might be useful at a later time there is no compare. It's especially useful for content that might otherwise go offline - with EN you got a local, backed up, copy. That's super useful, and far better than Keep or Apple notes. However, from a "using a note app for planning purposes" I am a huge fan of Milanote. It's a visual note taking app and for my brain, it works like an absolute dream.

What most people don't realize about Quip is that it is an amazing tool even for single person use. I use Quip everyday for just me.

Evernote alternative? It's like choosing another Evernote that does all the same things to produce your reusable content in the end - why have an alternative if it just produces the exact same content for end-use? Based on these product recommendations so far the vague OQ now makes no sense to me whatsoever. If you use Google products and Google Keep does everything you need for note-taking, then yea don't sync across Evernote - this is an example of how vague this question is; it begs us to reveal our preferences up-front.. however, not one person who's made a comparable recommendation has revealed their preferen… See more
