Next Level
This software is taking digital notebooks to a new paradigm. How can you compare Bear, Noto and all the other good digital notebooks to Craft? The styling functionality alone is ground breaking and the ability to deep link content is a game changer. It makes the other notebooks feel bloated and disorganized .... which frankly is not what you are looking for in a notebook. I should also mention that this is some seriously beautiful software ... like Things by Cultured Code kind of beautiful.

5 Star Document Creation and Productivity App
As a fiction writer, Iโve had a hard time finding a single app that its my needs for planning my work. They tend to either focus too much on simplicity and aesthetics of doument creation (like Bear) or on productivity and feature bloat (like Notion). Now, Iโve loved and used both apps, but have always wanted something that could effortlessly sit in between both poles of that spectrum. Enter Craft. Itโs both aesthetic and simple in its document creation tools with just enough productivity features (such as wiki links and back links) to make it really useful for planning large projects. Iโve only been using it for about two weeks and I already love it.

Excellent and much more to come
Within a week this has become my central app for keeping notes, organising my thoughts and being generally creative. I work a lot with words and ideas, across many fields and projects and craft is the only system that has come close to being comfortable and helping me to be productive.
It's already excellent, and developing all the time.
It takes a day or two to adjust to it but the way it lets you create blocks, move them, group them and create beautiful, structured and deep documents is the best thing for notes, thoughts and creative ideas I have found.

Evernote-killer in waiting
Craft is a slick, powerful and - ultimately - beautiful note-taking app. Itโs been designed from the ground up for speed and usability and this really shines through, from the fact that it took me less than an hour to get comfortable with the full set of features to all the many little touches where theyโve clearly sweated the details. For example, I love that I can select some text, paste a URL and the text is automatically made into a link.
Iโm already using Craft for new research projects, and will be moving over from Evernote fully as soon as I find a viable way to import my existing notes in.

master craft work for me
Itโs still early days for me , but on both iOS and Mac (Big Sur), I find the attention to detail extra-ordinary.

I like the export features and Iโm looking for more direct connections with other wabs and blog APIs.
Iโm sure in the future more types of blocks will be available (tables, etc.)
What I love the most is the fact Iโm using a rich editor that can translate my content into a web page without a fuzz. Everything can be linked together and you can go back in time.
Rich editors for blog posts like Wordrpress and Ghost are fine.. on a desktop machine only and still have a lot of shortcomings.
Hence you have to rely on markdown and a preview window. And a lot of very good editors occupy this space (IAWriter, etc.)
But sorry, coding text with markdown never โclickedโ for me.
Coding and โfixing your abstract ideas by writing themโ are two different activities.
My brain need rich text/media solutions for this.
A lot of other web apps exist to solve what craft try to achieve (Notion, Quip, etc.) but none of them are so delightful to use on iOS and a Mac.
Time will tell how Craft evolve, but it start very very well for me.

This may be it
This may be the note app I've been waiting for. Ever since Evernote's decline, I've tried everything and nothing has worked quite right for me.
The fact that this is so new, and yet already feels so right makes me very optimistic that I've finally found the right note app for me. It's very fast, beautiful, and quick to use. There are still missing things, but having seen their updates hopefully those gaps will be filled soon. I'm hopeful this is successful so it can be a long term solution.
