I use https://simplenote.com

- Syncs across multiple platforms.

- Plaintext based (with MD support).

- Search + edit UI similar to https://notational.net and https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt

- Simple to publish/share notes

- Free (as in beer and speech)

---

If I used MacOS or there were web versions, I would love to use the following (they are all better at plaintext than SimpleNote):

- https://getdrafts.com (best text manipulation + actions)

- https://www.taskpaper.com (best tagging/querying system!)

- https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/bike (supposedly best plaintext editing experience)

---

Some day I will build my own plaintext notes/bookmarks/tasks app that is a mashup of:

- TaskPaper

- Drafts

- nvAlt

- SimpleNote

- https://www.bkmks.com
