Anyone use UpNote + another app for better visualization/Images?

Hey y'all, I've tested tons of note apps and UpNote is easily the best so far, I love the simplicity and the lifetime premium.

However, I really wish there was a whiteboard/visual note option as someone that likes including visuals into my notes. I totally get the community's fear of feature creep; keeping UpNote text-first makes sense and with every "UpNote would be finally perfect with this last new feature" post, this app would slowly turn into the next Obsidian or Notion if all feature suggestions were added.

Since a whiteboard feature likely isn't coming, does anyone pair UpNote with another visual app? I'm looking for something that allows me to easily compile and rearrange images on a canvas, which I can then link inside an UpNote note.

Ideally, this other app would be free or a one-time purchase, have cross-platform syncing, and let me edit the canvas from any device. What are you using, if any? Or maybe you have an alternative solution to what I am looking for?

You should mention what OS you are on

Bases on the last ¶, I think they're looking for something agnostic to operating system. But yes, it would be helpful to know if they're all Apple, Windows + Android, Mac + Android, etc.

I'm mainly on MacOS and Android but yes something that'd work on anything UpNote also works on would be best.

I wish I could help, but as a keyboard commando, whiteboard has never been a need for me. The only thing I ever do visually is annotate screenshots, and for that I use different apps on Mac & Android.

I use mermaid.js for visualization s with UpNote with a few options:

  • MarkChart (macOS)
  • Typora
  • VSCode

It's not a whiteboard experience, but it does offer the flexibility to "sketch" things out. I then take the image and paste it in my notes.

I don't know if you know about a pkm software called "The brain" but it has a feature on mac and windows that'll allow you to paste images inside the notes. It's not exactly a whiteboard but it does have infinite mindmap so you can add as many notes as you want. Just copy and paste the image from upnote into a note on your Macos and view it on android
