I agree, bear is great. I miss it - I no longer have an iPhone and am Windows dependent :-(. I have made the best use of OneNote as I can - but the ease of categorisation of thoughts within the bear app will always be the best imo.

Try Joplin. As a heavy user of markdown for notes, i wanted something cross-platform across OSes and devices. Joplin fits my requirements perfectly.

I want to love Joplin (open source! markdown!) but I just can't get past how ugly it is. Its iPhone app is just a horrendous mishmash of colors and non-native UI elements.

Joplin is cool because you can add your own css to customize the desktop app. I realize not every is interested in doing that, but I’ve been an advocate once I tweaked the styles to my liking [0]. Agree with you that the mobile app styles are very rough, but the community is very active and open to suggestions / improvements [1].

I'm only a week into using it, but check out Notion. I really love it so far. The UI has blown me away in both beauty and how it gets out of the way.

Notion is amazing, and they recently removed the cap on the amount of "blocks" you're allowed to use on the free plan[0].

No affiliation, just a happy customer. :-)

I wish Notion had a self-hosted version. I store a lot of things in Joplin (previously Evernote) that I'm just not comfortable having on 3rd party servers :(

Agreed, Notion is awesome.

I have even stronger feelings about Roam though. Notion is "better" than just abt anything else like it, whereas Roam is different -- there is nothing else like it.

Roam as in https://roamresearch.com/?

Joplin looks really interesting - thank you for the recommendation!

Try out Notion. They recently changed their free plan to have unlimited blocks.

I have given them a go - but I had some privacy concerns. I may look into this again, thank you.
