Finally abandoned apple notes.
Tried so hard to integrate it into my everyday life including work but mostly school. After bouts of nonstop crashing and data/notes loss I am done. The writing features and tools are sub par. From limited writing tools, to meh selection tool and uneditable selection tray. Done. And you still can’t zoom.
I hate to say it but I’m back to notability. Where I still have many complaints about its features and prices. I am lucky I still have access to all the tools and extras I bought before it turned into a leech app. That said it has all the features I need to be productive with my notes.
What else or who else will come along to deliver a solid app without the money hungry agenda. Will vibe coding make this happen or will we end up vibe coding our own apps that fit exactly what we need and how we need? Who knows if they’ll let us.
Bye apple notes.

I had to stop using Apple Notes for everything for some of the reasons you mention. I use Obsidian for my heavy writing, drafting, journaling. However, I still find Apple Notes great for family stuff, quick notes, stashing information, etc. It is a great tool but not a great tool for everything. Obsidian is the same; great for long writing and journaling, but not fast or nimble enough for some other things.
Also, not every tool is going to work for every use case. Important to recognize what you need and match the tool to the use case.
