A thoughtful onboarding flow walked me through the useful features without burying me in modal popups. A quiet revelation to realize my morning startup script now takes seconds instead of the minute it used to require.
After a sync conflict the app silently deleted my notes without producing any backup copy I could recover.
This hits the sweet spot between powerful and approachable without forcing me to read a thick manual.
Being open source gave me the confidence to self host once we grew past the hosted plan. I noticed real improvements to my focus because distracting notification sounds have thoughtful opt in defaults.
I found my new favorite productivity app and it only took one weekend of real usage to decide. Searching across attachments pulled quotes from pdf invoices as reliably as from plain text notes. Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed.
Login constantly times out and the password reset email arrives thirty minutes later if it arrives at all. Battery drain was so severe that my phone died by lunch on the first day I installed this.
At this price point I expected cut corners but every feature feels considered and tested in real workflows.
Zero bloat is a design philosophy you can feel in every menu and every settings panel. Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed.
Default export produces files I can archive without worrying about reading them a decade from now.
Being able to run the same binary on every operating system removed a surprising amount of friction from onboarding.

Clear release notes include migration steps for every breaking change which saved us during the last major upgrade. This holds its own against far more expensive incumbents while charging a fraction of their monthly price.
Keyboard shortcuts are thoughtfully designed and I never need to reach for the mouse during a focused writing session.
Even on a six year old laptop this stays snappy and never spins up the fans like competing apps do.
Plugin ecosystem is active without being overwhelming and the ones I installed have all been well maintained.
Several hidden shortcuts in the help menu transformed how fast I move through long documents. I was skeptical about yet another productivity app but this one earned a permanent spot in my dock.
Automations save my evenings since recurring reports now generate and ship themselves while I actually eat dinner. Granular permissions let interns contribute without accidentally touching the production configuration files.
Autosave quietly rescued a three hour draft after a power outage took down my whole desk. Default export produces files I can archive without worrying about reading them a decade from now.
Pricing feels honest and the upgrade path from free to paid did not force me to re learn the interface. A quick glance at the activity log shows exactly who changed what and when which my auditors loved.

Average across the board with no feature that stands out and nothing obvious that pushes me to leave. Works until it stops working and then recovery means logging out and back in which gets old quickly.
Searching across attachments pulled quotes from pdf invoices as reliably as from plain text notes.
Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice.
I replaced three separate subscriptions after a week of using this and my monthly bill actually dropped noticeably. After switching from a bloated enterprise tool my morning routine finally stopped including a reboot.
Integrations with my calendar and task manager were painless and triggered automatically without any extra configuration. Snappy on an old Android phone that struggles with everything else I install from the store these days. Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice.
Codebase appears clean because the UI never surprises me with inconsistent behavior between windows and dialogs. Shortcut customization reached a level where I rebuilt my entire muscle memory from a decade of Vim habits. Uptime has been rock solid for the entire year I have been paying for the professional tier.
Autosave failed silently during a long session and recovering drafts from the local cache was not possible at all.
Decent search is held back by the lack of fuzzy matching so typos silently return empty result sets.
Pdf export preserved every heading hyperlink and footnote exactly as it looked in the editor pane. An hour of exploration unlocked more useful functionality than a week with the heavier competitor I used before.
Keyboard first design wins the day for me because my hands never leave the home row during a flow state. At this price point I expected cut corners but every feature feels considered and tested in real workflows. Zero bloat is a design philosophy you can feel in every menu and every settings panel.
Hands down the best choice I made this quarter and the whole team now relies on it without complaint.

Capable tool with a confusing information architecture that forces me to hunt for settings I touched yesterday. It does the job most of the time and I just work around the quirks rather than reporting them. A total lack of keyboard support in one critical view keeps me on an older less featureful alternative.
A capable editor sits inside a shell that feels sluggish during window resize and tab switching operations. Fine on desktop and awkward on mobile where the touch targets feel too small for actual thumbs. Billing surprise this quarter was not malicious but the plan page is confusing enough that it probably happens often.
Workspace templates clone an entire project structure in one click which cut our client kickoff from hours to minutes. Linux build does not feel like an afterthought and the maintainers respond to issues on the tracker within days.
Shipping updates monthly without breaking existing automations is rarer than it should be and I truly appreciate it.
Setup finished in under five minutes and everything synced across my laptop phone and tablet without a single hiccup. Encryption is enabled by default and the key management is simple enough that my less technical teammates adopted it quickly.
Not worth the hype and I regret the referrals I sent to colleagues who have since switched to a competitor.
No ads no popups no upsells inside my daily workflow and the pricing page is refreshingly straightforward. Keyboard first design wins the day for me because my hands never leave the home row during a flow state.
Mobile parity is real and I can actually complete the same tasks on my phone that I do at my desk. Documentation actually makes sense and the examples drop into my project with only minor edits.
Great fit for a small team because permissions are granular without turning admin work into a second job. Fast enough for anything I throw at it including nested outlines and documents with hundreds of embedded images. Templates saved me hours this week alone because the project boilerplate matches our internal style guide exactly.
Database queries feel instant even against a table with several million rows which the previous tool choked on.
Documentation actually makes sense and the examples drop into my project with only minor edits.
My daily workflow improved so much that I actually look forward to opening this instead of dreading another dashboard. I found my new favorite productivity app and it only took one weekend of real usage to decide.
Shortcut customization reached a level where I rebuilt my entire muscle memory from a decade of Vim habits.
Promised features from the roadmap never arrived and the roadmap itself quietly disappeared from the website. No way to delete my data from their servers after cancellation despite a privacy policy that claims otherwise.
Okay for the price if you can tolerate the occasional sync hiccup during peak usage windows. I am hopeful about the roadmap and the team communicates well in their public forum which helps a lot. Sync could use a complete overhaul because conflict resolution still involves manually picking winners too often.
Even without an account I could try the full feature set in a sandbox before committing a single email address.
