There is NO Perfect Notes App

Video Description

Tired of the endless search for the "perfect" notes app? I've spent hundreds of hours in Apple Notes, Bear, Obsidian, and Notion, and I've realized one crucial thing: the perfect app doesn't exist. Constantly switching tools, hoping the next one will magically solve your productivity problems, is a trap. The real secret isn't finding a flawless app—it's about building a powerful, personal system that you can take with you to any platform. It’s about choosing your battles, not chasing perfection. In this video, I'm breaking down my personal experience and the exact checklist I use to evaluate any notes app. We'll go through the pros and cons of the top contenders and I'll show you the simple system I've developed to finally stop app-hopping and start getting work done.
