Scrivener: I just downloaded it yesterday and I want to start using Scrivener for distraction-free writing and for writing longer piecesīear: All notes that I store for long-term use. I will use Apple Notes rarely to collaborate with someone. There are so many things I can do in Bear much more intuitively and the design and look is so much nicer. I have never done it otherwise.Īpple Notes: very rarely open it. If I need to send a text message or an email, I’ll go and write it there. But I’m trying to have that replaced and then I dont see much use for Drafts anymore, as Bear can easily be my scratchpad and I have never really understood the idea of opening an app to send text somewhere else. So now I use it for very few notes which I can interact with Shortcuts in particular way that other apps won’t do. But it’s just not intuitive enough for storing a lot of notes. It could be my note-taking app, scratchpad, long-form writing app. I would never pay for it myself then I would use Pages instead.ĭrafts: While this app could be THE app to end all the others for me. Right now I have a free subscription through work. I know that people use it and have access to it, so if I need to attach something a document then I put it in Microsoft Word, it’s the anticipated and often expected format in most environments today.

Word: Work documents and documents that I send out to other people, because everyone in the real world use Microsoft Word. Drafts is just not a note-storing app, it really isn’t.Īnyway, here is an update of which apps I use for this purpose today. Then comes setting them up in folders that I have to create with tags and workspaces. I have about 250 notes in Bear which is my current notes app and exporting and importing those to Drafts on iPadOS is not easily done. But it’s just too much work setting it up and figuring it out and all the intrinsic little details. I tried doing that last night actually, I really wanted to make Drafts my go to only-purpose writing and notes app.

I think the only app that would be THAT app is Drafts.

I still feel there are too many of them, but it it is just not possible to consolidate all the purposes into one single app. Bear in mind, not “Bear” the app, but “bear” in mind, hehe, that I’m only iOS and iPadOS and don’t have a Mac anymore. So an update here from me about how which and how I use my notes/writing apps.
