For people on the go that need somewhat more organization I like iAWriter for iPhone (let’s you use md files for notes) and then you can also edit the markdown files directly on your laptop in the iCloud folder. Everything syncs up nicely in a nonproprietary format it’s seriously life changing


I have thought about different apps for this txt-approach for iOS, and you’re right. iA Writer seems to be perfect for this.


I just checked it out again, and it doesn't seem to support the Files API, only syncs with iCloud. Same with the app "txt".

That's annoying, because my default sync service is OneDrive, and iOS generally supports it very well.


Yea that’s actually the most annoying thing for me too, I would rather use it with gdrive or Dropbox instead of iCloud (which is prone to a ton of issues). I had to do some hacky things to get it to work the way I wanted tbh.


Yup! And if you work in a team and need version control for your notes there’s an app called Working Copy which integrates perfectly. Then you push changes directly to a git repo which acts as your source of truth
