It has been widely successful and we promote its use heavily in our performance optimization guidance.īut there’s a problem with this wonderful property. It is widely used for the initialization of global variables, the prefetching of data into collections, and to determine which screen should be shown first. It is an uncommon situation and there is a simple fix.Įveryone loves App.OnStart. As I said, I currently use DEVONthink for that kind of thing, and I'm happy using both Bear and DEVONthink at the same time.Note: If you are here because you have an app that was created before March 2021, that is now showing an error for using Navigate in OnStart, skip ahead to the section on Older apps with new Navigate workaround. However, if you use Evernote for more extensive research, such as storing lots of PDFs, organizing them, etc, then Evernote may still have something to it that makes it better for that kind of thing. If I had written the thing in Apple Notes, I maybe would have to do work later on to fix or add formatting and so on. I may start to write a note in the daily notes app and later on want to move to other app with Markdown support, or make a web post of it, etc. Other thing is of course the Markdown support.

One thing that keeps me using Bear instead of Apple Notes is that Bear has better support for exporting, which is important if you want to archive the notes later on.

In this kind of use, I think I could use both Apple Notes and Bear.

I find that I like to use some simple and beautiful notes app for my daily notes, but some other app for research, diaries, archive, food recipes, code snippets and so on. So, in a way the whole question depends on your workflow and what you use the app for. When I archive the notes out of the daily notes app, they also don’t clutter searches in the daily notes app, so I can find the relevant information quickly. I know I usually don’t need see the notes in my daily life, but they can useful for some reason later on. When the trip is finished, I archive the notes in other place (currently DEVONthink) so that I can later refer to them. I need a quick and easy way to take notes, pictures and so on. I don’t want to store and organise all my scientific PDFs and all receipts in them.įor instance, if I travel for two weeks in a foreign country, I collect all things there before the trip and during the trip. Then I figured out that for me, Bear (or maybe Apple Notes) works really well for this kind of daily stuff. In the end I had created a separate database in DEVONthink for these daily notes, but it was a bit more difficult to use it in everyday stuff I had need for.

Then I noticed I don’t want all those daily stuff pop up when I’m doing some other kind of work, such as researching an issue or looking for a code snippet. Recently I tried to move even my daily notes, such as hotel bookings, notes I need when travelling, etc, to DEVONthink. This makes some sense because if you have lots of these scattered in many applications or systems, it starts getting hard to even remember where that one document is located is it in Evernote, nvALT or Pinboard? I also have a custom Markdown based system with Sublime Text at work because I have to Windows.Īt times I’ve thought it’s a good idea to have all my daily notes and also scientific PDFs, bookmarks and so on in single application, such as Evernote or DEVONthink. I’ve been struggling and switching between all these notes apps or systems: basic filesystem and Dropbox, Evernote, Apple Notes, Bear, DEVONthink and nvALT. Evernote felt slow and clunky and even on my MacBook Bear flies. Speaking of media I wish Bear did inline thumbnail pictures in the list view so that the note descriptions were all the same height.īut really I find Bear the most readable with the best design and formatting and it 'feels' lightweight and quick. There are a couple of things I wish Bear would add from Notes, (since I'm making lists here :P) Not flailing around in some misbegotten attempt to pivot or monetise their service I used Evernote for five years and they just seem to be heading in the wrong direction.Īs you can probably tell I find Notes far more compelling than Evernote. Having gone from Evernote to Notes to Bear, compared to Evernote:īetter note taking system really a much better note taking app.Ĭleaner no nagging messages (no I don't want to try chat and other shite).
