I Was WRONG! Evernote vs Notion vs Other Note Taking Apps
I Was WRONG! Evernote vs Notion vs Other Note Taking Apps
What is the perfect note taking app? I’ve been a big Evernote user for a long period of time for capturing knowledge and creating a second brain but recently I’ve gotten more and more into Notion so I’m going to dive into the world of note taking apps and give my thoughts on how to choose the app that’s right for you and look at how I use note-taking apps.

Have you tried, The Brain? I heard of it for the first time today and am in the process of deciding between where to start between Evernote, Notion, and The Brain
Notion does not have an offline mode and is therefore not suitable as an application for taking notes (IMO)

For me, if the application doesn’t have a proper notebook system, it can never work as a note taking app.

Evernote has increased it's price 3x since I started just two years ago. I'm definitely looking at something else, and I may go back to pen and paper!!
I became frustrated with Obsidian & Notion, then I got Upnote, which I love so far.

why was that? Is it too hard to wrap your head around? Im undecided.

@@xevenau --I kept reading about people losing their notes in Notion. I've gotten a little more used to Obsidian. If you want something hard to wrap your head around, try Anytpe or Capacities. These are examples of object-based note taking. Very hard for me to get used to these.
I'm using remnote but most of the time, the app is too buggy. I really like writing in remnote but at that same time, I want to use project management tool as well. If I go to notion, I will miss out the portal function in remnote, which I often use it. What do you suggest? Using both the app or stick with any one ??
Thanks for your outstanding video. I'm curious what keyboard you have on your desk?

It's an iqunix f97 with the Coral Sea keys. It's pretty nice but I often default to my apple setup because 🍏
Notion with the AI assistant is an essential tool for me, I can have the AI format the text, translate, create tables, it saves a ton of time, and the sharing is great.

I stopped using obsidian as it lacks bi-directional linking. Moved to logseq since 3 months , its very good in bi-directional linking and outliner is natively build. Its very helpful for linking ideas in logseq compared to obsidian.

@@MultiSamSami No bro, logseq is not slow. Its normal like obsidian. I am using it since more than 3 months and never experienced any slowness. Yeah, please try, its a very simple app and bi-directional linking of blocks is super for studying and linking ideas. Bi-directional linking is natively build in logseq, no plugins needed. Hope you will like it.

@@MultiSamSami Great to know 👍. Yeah, images wont show, we need to freshly paste it again. I understand , even i faced the image problem when i moved from obsidian to logseq. But dont worry, it is a one time effort. Later on you will enjoy working with it 😊. If you wanted to learn more on logseq , there is a nice YT channel - OneStutteringMind , he shares lots of good lessons . You can have a look whenever you get time. Enjoy working with logseq.😊
Notion plus Obsidian equals heaven 👌🏻 I'm currently migrating from Evernote into Notion.

I personally use OneNote + Obsidian, but they've been frustrating lately.
Amplenote is a really good alternative.
