Apple

I never hear people talk about Bear, but it's such a solid app. Super polished apple ecosystem markdown app with lots of great features. I'm a big fan of Obsidian, of which this is very reminiscent in terms of workflow,  but there are little things about it that I find too cumbersome at times. So far Bear hasn't irked me once. It's pretty, charming, and dead simple. Does anyone here use it?

Yeah I respect that. It’s what drew me to Obsidian as well, which I’ve used a lot, but I’m shifting my perspective a bit to, whatever you will use the most is what’s best. I’m on Mac 99% of the time, and a great, easy to jump into and out of app with support for Apple Pencil on iPad and markdown with search and backlinking is great. We’ll see if I stay on it or go back to obsidian but for a few days now I’m pretty hooked.

Used it for a while when I was cycling through note apps a lot. It was very polished, I'd agree best in it's category. 

But I'm very much sold on the local first approach of obsidian and logseq which I've been shifting between for going on 4 or 5 years now.

You’re on obsidian now? Something else?

For bear, did use Mac exclusively or iPad (with pencil) too? I like that it supports both markdown and pencil.
