I would have killed for this back in 2022. I take all of my notes on ChatGPT now, and for more structured data I have built specialized tools/agents, and even small front ends like for my portfolio management track. It’s crazy how different my world used to be back then; note apps feel so primitive now.

I can't even imagine what this even means.

I would not recommend investing in the iOS Notes ecosystem. There is no way to export these notes with their metadata and media intact without using iCloud. If you need a note-taking app, go with Joplin instead; it supports Markdown, has both iOS and desktop clients, and supports self-hosted syncing.

I have the opposite experience.

I try other systems and then I end up wanting the simplicity of notes.

I’m also interested in what you mean of how you get your notes back. Sounds interesting.

Agree. iOS notes is only good for throwaway thoughts or ephemeral notes
