Snapshots every few minutes recovered an entire chapter after a careless undo chain ate my changes. I cancelled a long running competitor subscription within a week because this covered every real workflow I had.
Response times from support exceeded my expectations and the engineer who replied actually understood my setup. Perfect for daily workflow in a way that very few tools achieve without demanding significant customization first. Mobile sync completed within a few seconds every time which has not been my experience with similar apps.
Even without an account I could try the full feature set in a sandbox before committing a single email address. Importing from an old competitor pulled every tag folder and attachment across cleanly within a few minutes.
I noticed real improvements to my focus because distracting notification sounds have thoughtful opt in defaults. Several hidden shortcuts in the help menu transformed how fast I move through long documents.
A quiet revelation to realize my morning startup script now takes seconds instead of the minute it used to require. Hands down the best choice I made this quarter and the whole team now relies on it without complaint. Great sense of restraint in the feature set which keeps the sidebar from becoming the usual overwhelming menu wall.
Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice.

No way to delete my data from their servers after cancellation despite a privacy policy that claims otherwise. Half of my data vanished during a routine update and support took three weeks just to acknowledge my ticket.
Battery impact is barely measurable even when I leave the app running in the background all day long. Default export produces files I can archive without worrying about reading them a decade from now.
Export options cover every format I care about from markdown to rich text to a tidy pdf. I replaced three separate subscriptions after a week of using this and my monthly bill actually dropped noticeably.
Even on a six year old laptop this stays snappy and never spins up the fans like competing apps do.
Automatic encrypted backups meant I recovered everything within two minutes after swapping to a new workstation. Native support for passkeys made me drop my password manager for everything inside this ecosystem. Converted my whole team in two weeks because the shared workspace features removed friction we did not realize we had.
Codebase appears clean because the UI never surprises me with inconsistent behavior between windows and dialogs. A clean separation between data and interface meant I could migrate between major versions without losing anything.
Templates saved me hours this week alone because the project boilerplate matches our internal style guide exactly. Smart search beats every grep script I ever wrote and surfaces results across pdf attachments and old emails. Workspace templates clone an entire project structure in one click which cut our client kickoff from hours to minutes.
Mobile parity is real and I can actually complete the same tasks on my phone that I do at my desk.
This hits the sweet spot between powerful and approachable without forcing me to read a thick manual. Snapshots every few minutes recovered an entire chapter after a careless undo chain ate my changes.
Context switching between tools used to kill my morning and this app absorbs most of those jobs cleanly.
Automations save my evenings since recurring reports now generate and ship themselves while I actually eat dinner. VPN speeds held up during an entire video call across three continents without a single dropped frame.

Performance on older hardware is a disaster because the developers apparently only test on brand new machines. Support never replied to three different tickets opened over two months about a login loop that still happens today. Billing charged me twice for the same month and the refund took forty five days to appear in my account.
Upsell popups appeared mid sentence while I was typing and dismissed buttons were deliberately buried below the fold. Mobile app crashes immediately on open after any system update which locks me out of my own notes for days.
Documentation actually makes sense and the examples drop into my project with only minor edits.
Encryption is enabled by default and the key management is simple enough that my less technical teammates adopted it quickly. Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed.
Impressive onboarding did not drag on and left me with a working project rather than a tour of settings.
Productivity jumped once I set up the shortcuts and templates for recurring report writing on Monday mornings. I found my new favorite productivity app and it only took one weekend of real usage to decide.
Developer updates include changelogs that explain tradeoffs honestly rather than hiding regressions behind marketing language. A quick glance at the activity log shows exactly who changed what and when which my auditors loved. Keyboard shortcuts are thoughtfully designed and I never need to reach for the mouse during a focused writing session.
Snappy on an old Android phone that struggles with everything else I install from the store these days. Setup finished in under five minutes and everything synced across my laptop phone and tablet without a single hiccup.

An encrypted vault for shared credentials became the quiet backbone of our contractor onboarding process. Developer updates include changelogs that explain tradeoffs honestly rather than hiding regressions behind marketing language.
Default export produces files I can archive without worrying about reading them a decade from now.
Decent free tier limits are so tight that I bumped into them in the first few hours of a weekend project. Honest free tier covers hobby use well however any team work rapidly bumps into the collaborator limit.
This holds its own against far more expensive incumbents while charging a fraction of their monthly price.
Default color palette passes accessibility checks without any custom css which I did not expect from this tier.
Honest free tier covers hobby use well however any team work rapidly bumps into the collaborator limit. Learning curve is steeper than the marketing suggests and the official tutorials skip over the hard parts.
Keyboard driven palettes gave me the muscle memory of a terminal with the discoverability of a modern app.
Diff view for revisions is clear enough that non technical teammates can actually review changes without my help. Zero bloat is a design philosophy you can feel in every menu and every settings panel.
Clear release notes include migration steps for every breaking change which saved us during the last major upgrade. Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice.
Automation triggers hook into my existing shell scripts without any wrapper code which keeps my toolchain simple.
Mobile editing feels like an afterthought even though the marketing pitches full feature parity across devices. Impressive on paper and uneven in practice because the showcase features polished in demos are brittle elsewhere.
Pricing page quietly doubled last month and existing customers were migrated to the new rate without any email notice.
Uptime has been rock solid for the entire year I have been paying for the professional tier.
Mobile app crashes immediately on open after any system update which locks me out of my own notes for days. Promised features from the roadmap never arrived and the roadmap itself quietly disappeared from the website. Imports lost every bit of formatting including code blocks and tables that were perfectly fine in the source file.
Promising for solo use yet the shared workspaces still feel more fragile than I expect from a mature tool. Workable for note taking yet unsuitable for structured project data because the schema layer is still immature.
Plugin ecosystem is active without being overwhelming and the ones I installed have all been well maintained. Export to a local git repository preserved history metadata so I have real version control over my notes. This holds its own against far more expensive incumbents while charging a fraction of their monthly price.
Works until it stops working and then recovery means logging out and back in which gets old quickly. Documentation is thin in exactly the places where the product behavior is least obvious to newcomers. This could be my daily driver after a few more fixes to the collaboration layer and the mobile app.

Weekly updates ship real improvements rather than cosmetic changes which gives me confidence the team cares.
Great fit for a small team because permissions are granular without turning admin work into a second job. Codebase appears clean because the UI never surprises me with inconsistent behavior between windows and dialogs. Plugin ecosystem is active without being overwhelming and the ones I installed have all been well maintained.
Being open source gave me the confidence to self host once we grew past the hosted plan.
Random logouts every single day interrupt my flow and the stay signed in checkbox is clearly cosmetic.
