I keep a lot of notes for my books. Notes related to development, marketing, advertising, and various details (Pretty Links, cover changes, blurbs for promos, copyright issues, etc.).
For the past few weeks, I've been looking for an Evernote alternative. I've used Evernote for years, but it sh*t the bed awhile back and is no longer a good option (for me).
I've investigated several alternatives, including Notion, Joplin, Obsidian, Clickup, Bear, Roam, and even Google Keep. Some are good, but too complicated (Notion). Some deftly support note-taking approaches that I don't use (Workflowy).
Finally, I found one that's a good match for me: UpNote.
Here's a screenshot so you can see what it looks like...
It acts like Evernote with less bloat and more intuition.
UpNote isn't free. (There
is a free version, but it's severely limited.) For the full enchilada, you can choose to pay a monthly fee ($1) or pay a one-time fee ($30) for lifetime use.
There's no web version. You download it to your rig. But it syncs well across platforms (I have it on my Macbook and my Android phone).
