Give my note-taking app a try[1]. It has a Notion-like block editor, but with a user interface similar to Apple Notes. So it's both flexible and easy to use. And it's also local-first, saved in a portable format (plain text) and extremely performant.
Looks nice. Willing to give it a try, but it wasn't clear what kind of search it does... this is really important for me: on one side searching for text inside images, and the other being able to do smart searches (not just matching words)
