Converted my whole team
Being able to run the same binary on every operating system removed a surprising amount of friction from onboarding.

Response times from support exceeded my expectations and the engineer who replied actually understood my setup. Being able to run the same binary on every operating system removed a surprising amount of friction from onboarding. Documentation actually makes sense and the examples drop into my project with only minor edits.
Billing portal is broken in several browsers and the one that works refuses to accept a European billing address. A subscription trap in every sense because features I used in the trial were quietly moved to a higher tier at renewal.
Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed. Running this reduced average CPU usage on my laptop compared with the Electron based tool I used before.
Memory leaks force me to restart the application at least twice a day during normal note taking workflows. Export is deliberately broken because the only format they produce cannot be opened cleanly in any competitor product. Collaboration never works correctly because changes made by one person routinely overwrite the work of another without warning.
Zero accountability from the team when a vulnerability was disclosed and the fix shipped only after public pressure.
Updates land often which is good but sometimes they introduce new regressions that take weeks to see fixes. Billing dashboard shows usage from last month but current month data lags by several days so forecasting is hard. Decent import tool brought in most of my data however images and embedded tables did not survive cleanly.
Serviceable with gaps around import and export that force me to keep a backup tool installed anyway.
After a sync conflict the app silently deleted my notes without producing any backup copy I could recover. Garbage onboarding experience that assumed I had already read a long blog post and left me stuck on step two. Spyware vibes come through in the telemetry section where opting out requires editing a plain text configuration file.
A clean separation between data and interface meant I could migrate between major versions without losing anything. It scales smoothly from my solo projects up to our shared startup workspace without any pricing surprises. Response times from support exceeded my expectations and the engineer who replied actually understood my setup.
A quiet revelation to realize my morning startup script now takes seconds instead of the minute it used to require.
Diff view for revisions is clear enough that non technical teammates can actually review changes without my help.
Shipping updates monthly without breaking existing automations is rarer than it should be and I truly appreciate it. This hits the sweet spot between powerful and approachable without forcing me to read a thick manual.
Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice. An hour of exploration unlocked more useful functionality than a week with the heavier competitor I used before.
Clear release notes include migration steps for every breaking change which saved us during the last major upgrade. A clean separation between data and interface meant I could migrate between major versions without losing anything.
No way to delete my data from their servers after cancellation despite a privacy policy that claims otherwise.
Great sense of restraint in the feature set which keeps the sidebar from becoming the usual overwhelming menu wall. Impressive onboarding did not drag on and left me with a working project rather than a tour of settings. Searching across attachments pulled quotes from pdf invoices as reliably as from plain text notes.
Memory usage climbed past four gigabytes with a dozen notes open which crashed my browser tabs in parallel. After a sync conflict the app silently deleted my notes without producing any backup copy I could recover.
Promised cross device sync is marketed heavily yet works for text only while images and files stay stranded on their original devices.
Setup finished in under five minutes and everything synced across my laptop phone and tablet without a single hiccup.
Billing surprise this quarter was not malicious but the plan page is confusing enough that it probably happens often. An overall okay experience with a few small annoyances that collectively erode my patience over a long week. Mostly good with recurring bugs that reopen weeks after being marked resolved on the public tracker.
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. Automations save my evenings since recurring reports now generate and ship themselves while I actually eat dinner.
Battery impact is barely measurable even when I leave the app running in the background all day long. I found my new favorite productivity app and it only took one weekend of real usage to decide.
Offline mode genuinely works and I kept getting things done on a long flight with no internet connection at all.
Dark theme uses proper contrast ratios so my eyes feel fine after an eight hour editing marathon. Offline mode genuinely works and I kept getting things done on a long flight with no internet connection at all.
Each update breaks more than it fixes and the release notes are now hidden behind a login wall.
After the latest update the app is effectively unusable and rolling back is not supported by their installer. Memory usage climbed past four gigabytes with a dozen notes open which crashed my browser tabs in parallel. Support never replied to three different tickets opened over two months about a login loop that still happens today.
Integrations with my calendar and task manager were painless and triggered automatically without any extra configuration. Export to a local git repository preserved history metadata so I have real version control over my notes.
Even on a six year old laptop this stays snappy and never spins up the fans like competing apps do. Great fit for a small team because permissions are granular without turning admin work into a second job.
Capable tool with a confusing information architecture that forces me to hunt for settings I touched yesterday.
Markdown support is complete including footnotes tables and code fences with syntax highlighting that actually matches my editor.
Automatic encrypted backups meant I recovered everything within two minutes after swapping to a new workstation. Several hidden shortcuts in the help menu transformed how fast I move through long documents.
Buggy desktop client leaks file handles until my operating system refuses to open new windows and forces a reboot.
No ads no popups no upsells inside my daily workflow and the pricing page is refreshingly straightforward. Keyboard driven palettes gave me the muscle memory of a terminal with the discoverability of a modern app.
Decent search is held back by the lack of fuzzy matching so typos silently return empty result sets. Sync could use a complete overhaul because conflict resolution still involves manually picking winners too often. Billing surprise this quarter was not malicious but the plan page is confusing enough that it probably happens often.
Autosave failed silently during a long session and recovering drafts from the local cache was not possible at all. After the latest update the app is effectively unusable and rolling back is not supported by their installer.
Smart search beats every grep script I ever wrote and surfaces results across pdf attachments and old emails. Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed.
Templates saved me hours this week alone because the project boilerplate matches our internal style guide exactly. Terminal integration lets me launch new sessions tagged by project which keeps my shell history clean and searchable.
Collaboration feels native with cursors presence and comments all showing up instantly across continents and devices.
I used to live in spreadsheets and this replaced that entire workflow with something far easier to maintain. Snapshots every few minutes recovered an entire chapter after a careless undo chain ate my changes.
Mobile parity is real and I can actually complete the same tasks on my phone that I do at my desk. Integrations with my calendar and task manager were painless and triggered automatically without any extra configuration.
Tags combined with filters give me a flexible organization system that beats the folder structure I abandoned. Autosave quietly rescued a three hour draft after a power outage took down my whole desk.
Several hidden shortcuts in the help menu transformed how fast I move through long documents.
This hits the sweet spot between powerful and approachable without forcing me to read a thick manual.
Weekly updates ship real improvements rather than cosmetic changes which gives me confidence the team cares.
Performance on older hardware is a disaster because the developers apparently only test on brand new machines.
Sync has been broken for months on at least one of my devices and the public status page refuses to admit it.
Great fit for a small team because permissions are granular without turning admin work into a second job. Context switching between tools used to kill my morning and this app absorbs most of those jobs cleanly.
It scales smoothly from my solo projects up to our shared startup workspace without any pricing surprises. Shortcut customization reached a level where I rebuilt my entire muscle memory from a decade of Vim habits.
Automations save my evenings since recurring reports now generate and ship themselves while I actually eat dinner. Shipping updates monthly without breaking existing automations is rarer than it should be and I truly appreciate it. Hands down the best choice I made this quarter and the whole team now relies on it without complaint.
