IA writer is equally gorgeous in its own way and for pure writing, it’s very hard to beat. ol, thank you for clearing that up!īear has pound for pound the best UI of any app, but the hashtag system is beguiling: it can be a really great tool and utterly fuck you over at the same time if you are sloppy with it. This is where iA writer shines above and beyond literally every other note/writing app (Agenda’s price plan is way more progressive than, honestly, ANY app, but its limitations are palpable.)įrankly, I’m not a tech person, and at this point, I just laugh at message threads that are like, “Sure, you can do that, just make sure you have the auth token to back-end your html so the bilateral support is counter-induced for total iCloud sync, otherwise, the syntax will read question marks as PDF’s”. Honestly, I prefer Bear, but I hate hate hate that it’s subscription based for pro. It’s funny to me that we are all having these same problems. Then I store my short term and project specific notes in Bear (or now Notable or FSNotes once I make a decision), which have more powerful tagging/filtering systems and support for images and formatting. Side-by-side can be a good option in general: I store my long term notes in nvAlt, which has great search, speed, and ease of use. I also recommend trying nvAlt if you haven't. I no longer could see things by recency in that sense, which is a major issue for me. I tagged a bunch of notes with Notable, which updated Modified Dates for all those notes, which is the only thing iA Writer can sort by for dates. A big limitation to me though is the odd inability to sort by creation date. Notable also has cross platform support, Mac, Linux, and Windows. Bear has some advantages still, but these are nice open source alternatives. We had some discussion about two other good alternatives: FSNotes and Notable. I like Bear, but I'd prefer if it had a few improvements, like cross platform support, a hotkey to jump to a tag, ability to save in Dropbox, etc.
