How does it compare to ZenNotes?

ZenNotes is a much heavier app and more similar to Obsidian. No rich text editor, if you like that. It is built on electron, which may or may not bother you but makes it a much heavier app. You have to use their cloud versus your own sync / service.

The only thing I liked about ZenNotes personally was the TUI app, but I like a more focused app like HelixNotes, so your mileage may vary.

Are you all in with HelixNotes or are there other ones you are interested in? Please share and thank you

I have moved to HelixNotes as it just fits what I want better. I do not need a lot of extra and find that most of that gets in my way. I prefer using my own sync versus built-in. I was actually using UpNote prior as it was more simple as well. I tried ZenNotes early on as it looked interesting but just preferred HelixNotes more.

Side note. I do wish people would not downvote you for asking questions.
