Am I the only one just using the stock MacOs Notes and Reminders? Does the trick for me. Never lost a thing. Does pictures and text and has basic grouping.
Mac only of course.
Mac only of course.
Alternatively I have Google Keep on my phone which I can use on desktop via web app. I prefer the design of macOS Notes app for a lot of the notes I want to take though (i.e. long form rather than lists)
After reading this thread I am going to try MS OneNote, seems quite recommended so far and has free macOS and Android apps with syncing
Something went wrong, and a bunch of notes disappeared from the app. I determined where its database was stored, and set about replacing it with an earlier backup. But that didn't work and I'm still not sure why.
So now I use text files in a directory. Hard to go wrong with that.
I only have 2 issues.
Syncing across 4 different devices (phone, ipad, mac, and web) is eventually consistent. It can take hours for everything to sync up. Most of the time it's instant but I've had plenty of times where syncing on one device gets stuck for hours.
The other issue is locked notes. If I use FaceID/TouchID instead of a password, syncing gets absolutely trashed. It looks like it's re-keying the encryption for every locked note. (I have hundreds of them.) It's easier to just disable FaceID/TouchID for locked notes.
