UpNote
Pros
- Typography-first editor keeps long writing sessions pleasant on phone and desktop
- Markdown and hashtag workflows feel natural for journaling and light PKM
- One-time lifetime option still attracts people tired of endless subscriptions
- Export paths to PDF and Markdown reduce lock-in compared with opaque silos
- Accessibility options (larger text, dark mode, color differentiation) show up in App Store metadata
Cons
- Smaller user base than Apple Notes or Notion — fewer third-party integrations
- Some power features sit behind Premium, so free users hit caps quickly
- No collaborative real-time doc editing like Google Docs-class stacks
- Ink-heavy PDF markup workflows still favor dedicated iPad note apps
Craft
Pros
- Typography and page chrome read intentional instead of utilitarian
- Published pages stay sharp for portfolios and newsletters
- Editor keeps up with daily capture on Apple hardware
- Block layout rearranges quickly while drafting
- Share Sheet and handoff behave like first-class citizens
Cons
- Free caps hit fast once images and documents pile up
- Subscription price stings next to free markdown stacks
- Tables, backlinks, and graph depth trail Obsidian-style stacks
- Windows parity still lags the Mac and iOS polish
