Task or project related small plaintext stuff I’m syncing also via my task manager (currently 2do.app). On OSX Spotlight does a very good job for retrieving MD/text snippets systemwide, so I don’t see any major need for a dedicated text notes management system on the OSX side. If I had *only* text/MD files I’d store them in a DropBox folder and access them on iOS with Nebulous or any other of the plethora of iOS text/MD apps. Of, course, Notes.app is not plaintext nor MD-aware. So, you can for example, attach an iThoughts document and access it with iThoughts on the iPad via the Notes.app. It accepts also attachments (images or whatever) and since iOS 8 (or 7?) these also get synced to iDevices. It syncs reliably in my experience, basically the notes are emails on the imap server (plus some new iCloud/Drive mechanics recently…). Finally I gave up because I’ve lost confidence.Ĭurrently, for the bulk of my miscellaneous notes, I’m back to Apple’s Notes.app -) The problem is you won’t notice that until you search for something or want to access an older note. I also used it for quite some years: It was fine most of the time, but every now and then notes didn’t sync or reverted back to older versions.

I love it for the personal journal that I never update… it's beautifully made. If that doesn't work for you, I've heard many people love Day One for work journals. You're welcome to steal mine-there I just open sourced it. It just requires establishing your own process. I can use filters in the Find function to so I can search across live, archived or both at the same time.
Importing yojimbo files into devonnote archive#
md, and when a project is complete, I move the corresponding.md to an archive folder within the Project. When I get a new project, I make a fresh.

When I type the and a letter, auto-complete kicks in so my tags stay consistent. I can use Multi-file finds to search across the Project. ) I tag each entry with And then I can use live find to skip around the file by tags. (I actually do that with LaunchBar, but there's no reason you couldn't do it with BB's clippings and a keyboard shortcut. Each entry is delimited by a time stamp that's a clipping. I made a Project named-wait for it-Project Journals, and for each project, there's one running. I keep journals to track all my projects at work, and I write in Markdown. I know you said it wasn't a good fit for your project, but I'll just add that I use BBEdit for this function.
