FSNotes v5: Notes manager for macOS and iOS – native, open source

1

Obsidian.md

Https://obsidian.md/ is close to this, although a different editor. The notes are just markdown files in a folder so you can also save it as a git repo and edit through codespaces or VSC's remote editing extensions.

Trilium Notes

Obsidian really is a great choice if you are looking for Markdown. Windows, Linux, Mac, Android/iOS mobile apps soon. It's polished, fast, and all around a great experience. Flexible inter-note linking (wiki style), visualization, backlink discovery, handles images and embedded documents well. All around a good product. I'm still looking for something with a cross-platform GUI that I like as much as I liked Obsidian.md - but with the same sort of arbitrarily nested hierarchy and ability to adhoc rearrange my notes like org-mode provides. The Emacs/org-mode level of customization would be nice, too. Trilium Notes ( https://github.com/zadam/trilium ) was also a good contendor, but not having a text-content-first focus made for some frustrating experiences of data corruption, and testing data export of my initial trial run was messy as a consequence as well.

Standard Notes

4. Shareable with others with editing privs eg a grocery list for family I just subscribed to Standard Notes:https://standardnotes.com/ It seems to have #1 and #2. UI is more cluttered than iOS. And not shareable with editing privs.

Lot's of discussion about other apps but none cover the main selling point for me. FSNotes was created initially as an open source Notational Velocity / NVAlt replacement when NVAlt broke on one of the MacOS version upgrades. It can be configured to replicate the amazing modal search / create interface from those apps. There is also NVUltra [0] from Brett Terpstra, his successor to NVAlt. It is still in beta after quite a while. From memory it seemed more powerful and a bit slicker overall, but right now I don't need to do anything too complicated and prefer the cleaner native look of FSNotes. FSNotes has no dropbox integration for the iOS app, but you can still use dropbox as a store and use any other plain text / markdown iOS note app. I use 1Writer.
