Whenever I try one of these apps I'm always impressed by the features but my entire life is in iCloud.

Not only that but all the people I connect with for notes/calendars/reminders are also in the Apple ecosystem and they aren't going to switch for me. This means that a lot of the extra features that Notion, Obsidian, etc. offer just aren't valuable for me.

It makes me annoyed that Apple's Notes app is so basic.

I really wish that Obsidian Sync had like... 5 megs for free or something. I can't justify paying $8/month for a thing I haven't even started using, and without sync I have a hard time saying "OK let's try this" compared to Joplin or Notion. There's a bunch of cool looking stuff though

I come from different perspective: I would love to pay $15 per month if it gives me sync with my private storage and work on ios. Luckily for both of us there is a solution https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync Works well on ios.

One more cool thing about setting up with iCloud (see other comment) is you can use Apple Shortcuts or other apps to do cool things to the markdown files directly.

Obsidian. Total game changer. Obsidian sync is completely worth paying for as well - firstly it helps support the project but also its slick, so well made, and easier than all the hacked together GitHub / s3 / whatever workarounds. From a content point of view I personally find having structure but not too much structure is the way to go. A bit of yaml if needed but just a gentle “daily notes = meeting notes” (on my…

I like Obsidian, but this response sounds like you just read the title and not the article.

I recommend reading the article, it was pretty interseting.
