What do you look for in a note taking app?

    Ok this looks freaking awesome. One of the features I used most in Evernote was the Quick note menubar dropdown and I always wished it had markdown support.

    Right now I'm using Stickies (macOS default) because I didn't want to have Evernote open just for the dropdown. I'd stopped using Evernote as my note taking tool in favour of Bear because of the price…

    Unfortunately Bear doesn't have a scratchpad though. I'd use Thought Train for a scratchpad alongside Bear as long as it wasn't a subscription and as long as it wasn't a memory hog.

    Looks good!

      Richard,

      I'm likely going to make it a subscription but the yearly price will not be wild.

      My theory is that this is a workflow compliment note replacement, and your story really speaks to that ethos.

      Signup for the prelaunch so that I can send you the ridiculously large discount before I take it live on Product Hunt.

        I'm definitely interested enough to kick the tyres on this thing. But honestly I'm pretty reluctant to add another subscription on to the list. If the price is right we'll see… And I have no idea what "right" is. I just know that Evernote is $130AUD per year… and that is ridiculously high for what I use it for. Their free offering is good enough to keep around, but I don't use it as my primary note taking tool anymore just out of principle…

          I'm going to have a yearly option which will be much cheaper than a monthly option, and much cheaper than Evernote that's for sure.
