Since using a computer, I have always valued using them for writing and note-taking.
Somewhere along the way I got hooked on Evernote, like everyone else, and my whole life was in it. Then at some point the product went south and I bailed - like everyone else.
Not sure I have actually replaced it yet.
I use Apple Notes on my phone for tons of stuff but not note taking or the digital brain.
I played and bailed on Notion. Performance is weak, no offline usage and has too many things.
I tried Roam for a few days and bailed.
One Note but well - it's MSFT.
Simple notes is cool but so simple.
I got hooked on Superhuman email for speed, light UX, keyboard controls and the power elements. It is not needed for personal email though, I use Hey now, and for work I am stuck with Outlook.
Been playing and hunting newish digital brain (notes) tools and starting to like: https://get.mem.ai

- based on keyboard more than the mouse
- has a way to capture stuff you are reading outside of the app
- has a great search interface
- has sharing stuff but I don't use it
- it's fast
- shows relevant data to the piece I am using or editing
- needs an iOS app but works on iPhone and iPad via the web
- great support so far
Will let you all know if I stick with it or not.
happy note taking!
