Hi Everyone,

We are back with another episode of PKM Weekly. Let’s see what is in store for us today.

Let’s start with something unrelated to any app this week, but a post that I think will be close to many of our hearts:

I’ve been searching for the perfect app for too long, and I’m exhausted.

I’ve been passionate about notetaking for years, and due to my profession, I absolutely need to keep organized notes. Let me share my dilemma with you, and perhaps we can find a solution together!

I’ve tried: Obsidian: Too clunky, and the interface is terrible. Bear: No Windows support. Apple Notes: Takes forever to log in on Windows. Upnote: Feels insecure, and I can’t export notes in bulk. Google Keep: No export option, and I’m tied to their ecosystem. Logseq: Conceptually doesn’t make sense to me.

So, what do you think? Is there a simple, clean app that allows exporting notes in markdown and integrates seamlessly with both Windows and Apple ecosystems? Hopefully, there’s something I haven’t seen yet.
