Most also emphasised the notion of inter note links like a wiki.

I have asked around and you came with a good list of candidates. I fully expect others to make different choices so I wrote down my analysis for all the options I have evaluated.

#INKDROP LINE RETURN FULL#

I will keep an eye on options 2 and 3 as they are really promising and the space is full of experimentations I prefer comfort over power at this stage in my life) and the opt out options give me a way out. It is truly a personal choice, I chose Bear, the option 1, because I did not want to suffer friction (i.e. Foam or Obsidian) offering the biggest extensibility options.

A core database (Git or shared files) with good but heterogenous and loosely coupled tooling around it (e.g.

A solid open source and extensible Evernote alternative which is feature packed (history, end to end encryption, file based, etc) but with a couple of key drawbacks for my needs.

This option is personified by Bear (macOS, iOS).

A closed and non extensible option based on Markdown that is really nice looking and polished where export options keep me free from lock-in.

My heart did balance between three fundamental options:

#INKDROP LINE RETURN PLUS#

Plus Evernote has decided to actively work against my usage of Asciidoc by replacing = with a line break ( ) every single time. I have both long notes from one to one weekly conversations and a decent amount of notes (2600+ and growing). I have been using Evernote (paid) for the last few years but the app has become more and more sluggish - slow search, delays when editing text, etc. The rendering is not that important to me, that said, working on a nice looking app is always pleasant. What I really need is an editor that does not get in my way of writing Markdown nor Asciidoc. Support for Markdown offers a door here as a standard format. This means advanced features should not be use: that’s the price to pay for that freedom.

#INKDROP LINE RETURN PORTABLE#

The no lock-in is subtle but the idea is for the data to be portable and exportable. The last two points are important to me I never want to be in a situation where I need to find or write down something while my reference database is not at my fingertip.

ability to search efficiently on the computer (macOS and sometimes Linux) and on my phone and tablet.

ability to write down at the computer (macOS and sometimes Linux) and on my phone and tablet.

fast and streamlined way to write down notes as I listen in a meeting or output my brain.

My todo list is in a different system (from the Getting Things Done approach).

I say reference data because I treat them as long term storage for information I might need to get access to later. I use a notes application for storing my reference data. Here is the list of apps and a short analysis I did for each. I am on the market for a new notes application, I have been asking around for advice.
