In the “classic” (non-iCloud, add an account via System Preferences → Internet Accounts) mode Notes.app does store notes on your e-mail server via IMAP.

I don't think there's a way to share Notes without iCloud, no.

Not without third party software it seems.

Thank you.

It appears to be a leitmotif with the apple ecosystem: they try to lure you in and then keep you in by limiting your choices of interoperability.

At some point, this should have a negative overall: the number of users gained vs. the number of users not joining due to fears of being locked in.

Not really. You can export notes as a PDF.

drawn notes are vectorized in the notes app, but low res rasters when exported

anyone know a way around this?
