![]() ![]() I also really like the checklists and bullets. ![]() I’m also throwing word processing documents and other files. ![]() I’m increasingly finding excuses to put pictures in notes. However, one of the reasons I started looking for alternatives was because I’m finding I’d like to do a bit more and Apple Notes does that. If I just wanted to have plain text notes, nvALT is probably still the winner. It’s sad that I need to even mention this but I’ve had no syncing errors and lost no Notes despite now running the app on four devices. Out of curiosity, while writing this I got out my iPad Air, which has spent the last week on a shelf, and fired up Notes. Others are full of pictures, files, and links. I’ve currently got over 300 notes and the list is growing. With the new version, syncing is much improved. It used an IMAP protocol and felt (and acted) like a bit of a hack. Syncing in the old version of Notes always felt like a crap shoot. I started using Notes in August and we are now sneaking up on January and I find myself still using Notes. I had just finished one notes app experiment so I figured … “why not?”. Then WWDC rolled around and one of Apple’s big new announcements was an all new Notes app. The funny thing about that experiment is that one app I never considered as a potential replacement was Apple Notes and all of its Marker Felt glory. So I went on a notes spirit quest for several months including tours of duty in SimpleNote, Evernote, and several other options that ultimately led me back to nvALT. This was not out of some dissatisfaction with nvALT but instead but my insatiable nerd-curiosity. About a year ago, I decided to start looking at other options. For years I’ve solved this problem with nvALT and a rotating group of iOS apps that work with Dropbox-based text files. Like a lot of people, I like having a place to keep piles of text notes. ![]()
