FSNotes

I played around with FSNotes and zettlr (until the version of electron they were using made it crash on my system). I finally settled on Joplin as a viable alternative for a cross-platform note-taking app. It runs on MacOS, Windows, and Linux. You can sync with their service, buy cloud storage, or your own network folder. Joplin is actively being developed and extensible.

I figured out what was causing git to crash on start up, Git Crashes when you disable Git backup, I reported and developer did not want to bother fixing (probably did not know how) and he deletes comments that he does not like. LOL

A very good app becomes even better with V5. Very responsive developer.

Amazing app with responsive developer. Supports textbundle, fast and reliable.

Just miss 2 or 3 things to be really happy with this app, in order of importance: - allow subfolder creation and management - allow transparent storage without renaming files (or at least allow transparent export of library with correct title files and folder (as DayOne). That would make fsNotes the best Markdown note app in the word !

I am a great fan of Notational Velocity (which still works fine! I open it regularly to visit an old friend...), I have used NvAlt (last version is 2.2.8 and no sign of updating) ; FSNotes has become my everyday note manager. Synched via Dropbox, I keep my notes updated on my iPhone (1Writer or Editorial at the moment, I am convinced there are others). I once thought my notes could not sync properly, I was not connected to my Dropbox! So, an excellent app with a very steady work and upgrades by the developer.

Notes are disappearing, sync is very inconsistent. Unfortunately, I purchased this item but hopefully those few coins will assist the developer to improve what could be an excellent app.

I've had several notes just magically disappear. I can't believe this is version 4 it feels more like a beta. Between the data loss and the bagginess in UI behavior, I'd say this one needs another four versions to mature.

I previously had grumbles with this app but have received very helpful support and appreciate that a couple of concepts had been lost on me without explanation (e.g. duplicate notes) and I had a painful transition from 'old fashioned' tags to 'smart inline tags' (mainly because they didn't work properly is a previous version where I experience frozen new notes. I am happy to report that version 4.0.7 (338) is stable and behaves as I would expect it to with respect to tags. I am now happily beavering away with notes on my iMac but as yet have not kept it open in all my other devices (that's the next test since I have iPhones, Mac book pro, iPad pro). Once I've made sure they are all up to date I'll experiment more with it so for now I believe 4 stars to be the correct rating (for my experience). I have removed my original review since it is no longer pertinent to the current version.

I understand that this app can do a lot, so I bought it and I bought as well the IOS app, does make no sense for me without. So far, I am 100% disappointed. I have no clue, how to get this going. I does not sync over Icloud, all my other apps do. There is no help file, no introduction, etc. Have no idea, how to import my former notes, perhaps this is not possible. I made a mistake by not reading the reviews here, it appears to me that you have to have almost programming skills to get this app going.

After using this as my primary Notes app replacing NVAlt (see my previous review last year), it has really grown on me. Really fast and stable, and well thought out. It is really actively developed and the developers are friendly and thoughtful in their replies. So I go up to 5 ⭐ The sync between macOS and iOS is flawless. There is a new Alfred workflow for this too: https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes/wiki/Alfred-Workflow As I mentioned before, you can buy it on the app store, then just use something like "brew cask" to install the Github version. This means you support the developer and get to use the latest versions from Github...

Version 3.0.3 now. It's an excellent app - I'd rate it as highly as The Archive as a replacement for nvALT. It's not as slick as the Archive, but it can create RTFs, which is very useful to me. And it's much much cheaper.

I've used NV[alt] for years, syncing via SimpeNote to other devices and it has all worked well. But I've recently had some unreproducible crashes with NVAlt, and thought I'd try FSNotes. Overall it is a very nice replacement, importing hundreds of note from NVAlt was trivial (however, you need to to transfer the openmeta tags NVAlt stores to Apple system tags manually, a simple terminal command fixes this...) — note it is open source and you can download and use it for free, but I bought it to support development (there is an iOS companion too). iCloud sync works well between my several Mac and iOS devices. I would prefer if we had the option to run it as a menubar app, and it isn't as easy to integrate into Alfred as NVAlt yet — but both of these are in the Github issue tracker and the latter already has a pull request a few days after I posted it!

user-friendly application, I think he has a future
