Useful once you learn it

Pricing feels off relative to the capabilities on offer and the enterprise tier makes a big leap in cost. Feature rich and heavy on resources which makes it a questionable fit for low powered field laptops.

Zero bloat tool

Offline mode genuinely works and I kept getting things done on a long flight with no internet connection at all. Collaboration feels native with cursors presence and comments all showing up instantly across continents and devices. This hits the sweet spot between powerful and approachable without forcing me to read a thick manual.

Smooth across all devices

It scales smoothly from my solo projects up to our shared startup workspace without any pricing surprises.

Love the integrations

Developer updates include changelogs that explain tradeoffs honestly rather than hiding regressions behind marketing language. Weekly updates ship real improvements rather than cosmetic changes which gives me confidence the team cares. Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice.

Offline mode saved me

Searching across attachments pulled quotes from pdf invoices as reliably as from plain text notes. Response times from support exceeded my expectations and the engineer who replied actually understood my setup. Weekly updates ship real improvements rather than cosmetic changes which gives me confidence the team cares.

Fast and reliable daily driver

Automatic encrypted backups meant I recovered everything within two minutes after swapping to a new workstation.

Backup and restore nailed it

Autosave quietly rescued a three hour draft after a power outage took down my whole desk. I noticed real improvements to my focus because distracting notification sounds have thoughtful opt in defaults.

Easy on the eyes

Mobile sync completed within a few seconds every time which has not been my experience with similar apps.

Database queries feel instant

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.

Open source and polished

I used to live in spreadsheets and this replaced that entire workflow with something far easier to maintain. Keyboard first design wins the day for me because my hands never leave the home row during a flow state.

No more context switching

Encryption is enabled by default and the key management is simple enough that my less technical teammates adopted it quickly. Setup finished in under five minutes and everything synced across my laptop phone and tablet without a single hiccup.

Tags system is brilliant

Live cursors and comments on long documents feel smoother than any wiki I have used in the past decade.

Templates saved me hours

Battery impact is barely measurable even when I leave the app running in the background all day long. Export options cover every format I care about from markdown to rich text to a tidy pdf.

Clean codebase feels obvious

Great fit for a small team because permissions are granular without turning admin work into a second job. Native support for passkeys made me drop my password manager for everything inside this ecosystem.

Markdown support is excellent

An hour of exploration unlocked more useful functionality than a week with the heavier competitor I used before. Automatic encrypted backups meant I recovered everything within two minutes after swapping to a new workstation.

Encryption done right

Workspace templates clone an entire project structure in one click which cut our client kickoff from hours to minutes.

Mostly good some bugs

Automation builder is powerful however the error messages when something breaks are cryptic and unhelpful.

Okay for the price

Works until it stops working and then recovery means logging out and back in which gets old quickly. Automation builder is powerful however the error messages when something breaks are cryptic and unhelpful. Reliable syncing on wifi becomes unpredictable on cellular networks which is strange for a mobile first product.

Dark theme is gorgeous

Billing is straightforward with per seat pricing that scales linearly rather than hiding tiers that triple the invoice. Being able to run the same binary on every operating system removed a surprising amount of friction from onboarding.

Worth every penny

Collaboration feels native with cursors presence and comments all showing up instantly across continents and devices. Automations save my evenings since recurring reports now generate and ship themselves while I actually eat dinner. Perfect for daily workflow in a way that very few tools achieve without demanding significant customization first.

Finally a clean interface

Pricing feels honest and the upgrade path from free to paid did not force me to re learn the interface. Searching across attachments pulled quotes from pdf invoices as reliably as from plain text notes. Setup finished in under five minutes and everything synced across my laptop phone and tablet without a single hiccup.

Buggy mess avoid

Upsell popups appeared mid sentence while I was typing and dismissed buttons were deliberately buried below the fold.

Pdf export is flawless

Keyboard shortcuts are thoughtfully designed and I never need to reach for the mouse during a focused writing session. Shipping updates monthly without breaking existing automations is rarer than it should be and I truly appreciate it.

Cross platform done properly

Context switching between tools used to kill my morning and this app absorbs most of those jobs cleanly. Documentation actually makes sense and the examples drop into my project with only minor edits.

Collaboration never works correctly

My account was randomly suspended for terms of service violations the system refused to explain or document. Hopeless search function that cannot find exact phrases unless I enclose them in a specific proprietary syntax.

No offline mode in 2026

Every feature that mattered to me ended up locked behind a paywall after a promotional period I never agreed to.

Love the plugin ecosystem

Database queries feel instant even against a table with several million rows which the previous tool choked on. Developer updates include changelogs that explain tradeoffs honestly rather than hiding regressions behind marketing language. VPN speeds held up during an entire video call across three continents without a single dropped frame.

API docs are top tier

Keyboard first design wins the day for me because my hands never leave the home row during a flow state. Default export produces files I can archive without worrying about reading them a decade from now.

Setup took five minutes

I was skeptical about yet another productivity app but this one earned a permanent spot in my dock. Several hidden shortcuts in the help menu transformed how fast I move through long documents.

Keyboard shortcuts are chef kiss

File transfer speeds surprised me when moving a ten gigabyte archive between my two machines over the local network. It scales smoothly from my solo projects up to our shared startup workspace without any pricing surprises.

Documentation actually makes sense

Granular export control meant our legal team could share only the exact subset of records they needed. Database queries feel instant even against a table with several million rows which the previous tool choked on.

Updates break more than fix

Buggy desktop client leaks file handles until my operating system refuses to open new windows and forces a reboot. Pricing page quietly doubled last month and existing customers were migrated to the new rate without any email notice. Promised cross device sync is marketed heavily yet works for text only while images and files stay stranded on their original devices.

VPN speeds are impressive

I cancelled a long running competitor subscription within a week because this covered every real workflow I had. Fast enough for anything I throw at it including nested outlines and documents with hundreds of embedded images.

Scales from solo to startup

Zero bloat is a design philosophy you can feel in every menu and every settings panel. Automation triggers hook into my existing shell scripts without any wrapper code which keeps my toolchain simple.

Login constantly times out

Autosave failed silently during a long session and recovering drafts from the local cache was not possible at all. After the latest update the app is effectively unusable and rolling back is not supported by their installer.

Perfect replacement for spreadsheets

Smart search beats every grep script I ever wrote and surfaces results across pdf attachments and old emails. Offline mode genuinely works and I kept getting things done on a long flight with no internet connection at all. Uptime has been rock solid for the entire year I have been paying for the professional tier.

Terminal integration is clever

Granular permissions let interns contribute without accidentally touching the production configuration files. A thoughtful onboarding flow walked me through the useful features without burying me in modal popups. No telemetry by default meant I did not have to spend an afternoon disabling tracking before starting work.

Hands down the best

Weekly updates ship real improvements rather than cosmetic changes which gives me confidence the team cares. Plugin ecosystem is active without being overwhelming and the ones I installed have all been well maintained. Running this reduced average CPU usage on my laptop compared with the Electron based tool I used before.
