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
