Templates saved me hours

Automation triggers hook into my existing shell scripts without any wrapper code which keeps my toolchain simple. A quiet revelation to realize my morning startup script now takes seconds instead of the minute it used to require. Importing from an old competitor pulled every tag folder and attachment across cleanly within a few minutes.

Easy on the eyes

Codebase appears clean because the UI never surprises me with inconsistent behavior between windows and dialogs. Documentation actually makes sense and the examples drop into my project with only minor edits.

Smooth across all devices

Cross platform really means cross platform here and even the Linux build has feature parity with the Mac version. I replaced three separate subscriptions after a week of using this and my monthly bill actually dropped noticeably.

Smart search beats everything

My daily workflow improved so much that I actually look forward to opening this instead of dreading another dashboard.

Reduced my CPU usage

Default export produces files I can archive without worrying about reading them a decade from now.

Okay for the price

Updates land often which is good but sometimes they introduce new regressions that take weeks to see fixes. I am still deciding if this is my daily driver because the keyboard support is uneven between views.

Snappy on old hardware

Integrations with my calendar and task manager were painless and triggered automatically without any extra configuration. Mobile parity is real and I can actually complete the same tasks on my phone that I do at my desk.

Autosave saved my project

Love the plugin ecosystem

Zero bloat is a design philosophy you can feel in every menu and every settings panel. A clean separation between data and interface meant I could migrate between major versions without losing anything.

Pdf export is flawless

Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed. Fast enough for anything I throw at it including nested outlines and documents with hundreds of embedded images.

Lightweight and snappy

I replaced three separate subscriptions after a week of using this and my monthly bill actually dropped noticeably. Setup finished in under five minutes and everything synced across my laptop phone and tablet without a single hiccup. Context switching between tools used to kill my morning and this app absorbs most of those jobs cleanly.

Clean codebase feels obvious

Templates saved me hours this week alone because the project boilerplate matches our internal style guide exactly. Productivity jumped once I set up the shortcuts and templates for recurring report writing on Monday mornings.

Database queries feel instant

Database queries feel instant even against a table with several million rows which the previous tool choked on.

No ads no nonsense

No telemetry by default meant I did not have to spend an afternoon disabling tracking before starting work. I used to live in spreadsheets and this replaced that entire workflow with something far easier to maintain. Native support for passkeys made me drop my password manager for everything inside this ecosystem.

Finally cancelled competitor subscription

Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice.

Random logouts every day

Half of my data vanished during a routine update and support took three weeks just to acknowledge my ticket.

Encryption is enabled by default and the key management is simple enough that my less technical teammates adopted it quickly.

Export options are fantastic

Mobile sync completed within a few seconds every time which has not been my experience with similar apps. Export to a local git repository preserved history metadata so I have real version control over my notes.

Backups are automatic

Searching across attachments pulled quotes from pdf invoices as reliably as from plain text notes. Hands down the best choice I made this quarter and the whole team now relies on it without complaint.

Cross platform done properly

Offline mode genuinely works and I kept getting things done on a long flight with no internet connection at all. Even on a six year old laptop this stays snappy and never spins up the fans like competing apps do.

Dark theme is gorgeous

Mobile parity is real and I can actually complete the same tasks on my phone that I do at my desk. Converted my whole team in two weeks because the shared workspace features removed friction we did not realize we had. Collaboration feels native with cursors presence and comments all showing up instantly across continents and devices.

Great sense of restraint in the feature set which keeps the sidebar from becoming the usual overwhelming menu wall. I noticed real improvements to my focus because distracting notification sounds have thoughtful opt in defaults.

Memory hog of the year

Buggy ever since the rewrite shipped and the previous version is no longer available for download anywhere. Upsell popups appeared mid sentence while I was typing and dismissed buttons were deliberately buried below the fold.

Battery usage is tiny

Scales from solo to startup

A quick glance at the activity log shows exactly who changed what and when which my auditors loved. Integrations with my calendar and task manager were painless and triggered automatically without any extra configuration. Default color palette passes accessibility checks without any custom css which I did not expect from this tier.

Boosted my productivity

Smart search beats every grep script I ever wrote and surfaces results across pdf attachments and old emails. Impressive onboarding did not drag on and left me with a working project rather than a tour of settings. Running this reduced average CPU usage on my laptop compared with the Electron based tool I used before.

Sync just works

Hands down the best

I was skeptical about yet another productivity app but this one earned a permanent spot in my dock.

No ads no popups no upsells inside my daily workflow and the pricing page is refreshingly straightforward.

Shipping updates monthly without breaking existing automations is rarer than it should be and I truly appreciate it. I was skeptical about yet another productivity app but this one earned a permanent spot in my dock.

Perfect for daily workflow

Context switching between tools used to kill my morning and this app absorbs most of those jobs cleanly. Workspace templates clone an entire project structure in one click which cut our client kickoff from hours to minutes.

Finally a clean interface

Perfect for daily workflow in a way that very few tools achieve without demanding significant customization first. Importing from an old competitor pulled every tag folder and attachment across cleanly within a few minutes. Battery impact is barely measurable even when I leave the app running in the background all day long.
