I like to use the tools available on my system, so I simply use Apple Notes. It's simple, good for synchronization, backing and searching, good for regular text with minimal formatting, but not good for code snippets unfortunately. I'm open to alternatives (but don't want to bother with versioning).

Overall, taking notes isn't a solved issue for me. I mostly like pen and paper as a thinking tool, but I'm not able to archive and search them, and it' slower when writing pure text.

Maybe a "Remarkable" would be a good tool, but I'm not sure I want even more screens and devices I already have.

It lets you interleave pictures. Really useful feature. It also does the URL expansion thing, what's that called?, where they expand a url into a mini snippet of the corresponding website. That's sometimes useful. However, there's no clean way to control it.

Worth noting, exporting Apple Notes in bulk loses any hyperlinked URLS. It also doesn't copy hyperlinks when copy-pasting out of Notes. Terrible for portability.

I can recommend the Remarkable. The nice thing about it is that I don’t even see it as a screen. It just exists as a more organised and versatile version of the paper notes I normally keep. But it’s a lot closer to paper than to a digital device (good for me, maybe limiting for some).
