I’ve been using the notes app to write short thoughts, notes, poems, random ideas, etc and have found it really clunky for this. It has no simple way to edit formatting while typing or after, and a few other designs that seem to distract me. Wondering if anyone else had found this also, and maybe looked around for a better app?

Obsidian has very rich support scripts and workflows documented for MacOS - I highly recommend it

There’s an official flatpak in flathub so yes.

Also it uses plain text markdown files so you can see the notes in whatever. So yeah Linux friendly.

Edit: you may need to get obsidian sync. Haven’t looked into this in awhile.

Shameless plug, but I work for Slite.com and you should try it. We also made a browser extension that replace your new tab with our editor, no strings attached: For Firefox and for Chrome

Notability for handwritten notes. Obsidian for everything else

I’ve been through Evernote, Apple Notes, OneNote, and Notion.

I highly recommend “UpNote” which is cross platform and has awesome sync. You can pay a small monthly fee or grab it for the lifetime fee which is incredibly affordable. I recently switched over for work and personal and I’m so glad I did.
