You come across an app and its the one you have always been looking for…
Craft, well what can I say? Sometimes you come across an app and it is the one that you have always been looking for. I have tried many, many note taking apps, cross over Productivity apps and everything in between across the years. All the big names and many of the smaller ones. I thought that I would never find the note taking / document creating / knowledge management app that would be what I had always imagined. I was at a loss, trying to make other apps work but not really getting something that truly worked for me.
Then I found Craft. I like an app to be beautiful, it has to look the part for me as I am a very visually focused person, and boy does it look beautiful. The documents it creates are some of the most beautiful and sleek that I have ever seen or created myself, and it does this effortlessly. Everything just works so smoothly within the app, without any resistance. An intuitive UI with a simplicity that hides the complexity of what you can create within. It does what it does so well and with style. It has changed the way I work as now I can work in the way I had always wanted to.
A truly great app. One that is beautiful yet powerful. Thank you all at Craft for ‘crafting’ something very special.

No image resizing
I was using this as my primary notes app for everything (school, work, personal). But after 3 years of updates and new features I have given up because you still cannot resize an image. It makes notes unnecessarily long. It distorts small images because it forces them to be large, and this looks horrible.

Already replacing some apps I use
I am surprised at how much I like Craft. I thought this would be another useful app that claims being “free to use” but will only let you use 1 or 2 features unless you pay a ridiculous price per month. INSTEAD, I’m having fun creating new journal templates and revamping existing templates. I’m a person who organizes things like crazy. I love writing and I have 50million notes in physical notebooks that can get buried. I like how it integrates with my calendar and I can feel a little more organized and accountable of what I do. This is actually helping with Moon journals and content creation. Bullet journaling is way easier to me now.
My only gripe is that I feel Craft is a bit limited, but you get what you pay for, right? Not sure if the paid version has more fonts, more formulas for tables or even customization for tables and pages with columns like for magazine articles, but I’ll see it for myself much later. There are very few apps i would not mind paying for, and this is one of them.
Thank you so much for making digi notes fun and amazing!

Awesome
Finally found a replacement for Evernote! I’d completely lost faith in Evernote due to the fact it’s way over-priced and lacking in features. I only kept using Evernote as I couldn’t find any note taking app that I liked. But then I found Craft with its beautifully designed UI for both the Desktop and Mobile apps. Craft also has loads of features that make note organisation and writing so easy with things like nested folders and templates. Syncing is flawless and the enhancements for touch input on the mobile app is so handy. And the pricing is great too and very reasonable considering the quality of the service.

Instantly into my top ten of must have apps
This app has instantly become my Journal, To Do Manager, Letter writing, cool websites, hobby tracking app. I love the features but man do I love the polish!! There is style and attention to detail in every pixel of this app. You didn't have to go this hard bu you did so thank you! If I could buy you all a coffee (or tea for those who prefer) I would. Thank you thank you thank you!!

The best note taking app for Mac ecosystem
This is intuitive, productive, useful in every sense. The design is intuitive and pleasing. You open a document and start anywhere. Markdown is first class citizen in this app. It does not have tags but they have a better, more intuitive system of related documents with back link that can serve as your index zettel if that’s what you want to use it for. All geekiness in the app I hidden beneath an intuitive interface. Lives up to the promise of why we like Apple to this day - nice looking, functional, “just works” as it should.

Love It
I have tried many different note programs and productivity apps. This is the best looking and easiest to use. The features are nutritive and in my opinion is well suited above others to fit the second brain role. The block system is ideal for honing in on certain information and saving time and space. The ability to send segments of any article to a page as a quote is a wonderful feature for anyone doing research and writing. While it does not offer a tag system per se, there is the ability to set a folder for tags and set each tag up as a page that you then link references to throughout the system. The block references are then in one place. It is also easy to get started right after downloading versus the steep learning curve for basic services in other apps. I also enjoy the daily note and templates that are offered. I cut and paste templates for Day Notes along with an edited template for a journal into one daily note. It is nice to have all of that in one place and I can imagine down the road it will be a nice way to track activities both professional and personal for each day.

Almost as good as Obsidian
So I didn't quite know what to do with craft because i was using obsidian, but then I had to put together a sermon and my goodness the / command and visual appearance is genious! I love that i could interlink everything and create the whole backlink/second brain thing. My only qualm is it has no graph view like obsidain has to interlink documents. It has no way to underline text. BUT the ease of selecting notes and creating heriarchies and the toggle list alone is worth it's weight in gold. It just makes taking class notes, book notes more visually pleasing. I could only hope for a graph view and perhaps a portal view to see more of the pages that i'm interlinking. But really it is a solid school/interlinking database/document managment program. Thank you craft team! Maybe make the daily note more transparent with doucments? i don't know but I do love the calender feature, I take class notes from the calender view in craft. Just overall very solid program, it makes taking notes, research more pleasureable, Thanks again!

Sweet spot between diversgent and convergent workflows
Craft shines at bringing focus through its document and page container approach. You write without breaking your flow and when your content gets large, group them into a page or a card, and then put those cards or pages into other cards or pages, keeping context of each of your thoughts intact.
Then there are backlinks that cross link stuff and you have a category of its own. After using Evernote, Roamresearch, Logseq and Obsidian, Craft offers the best sweet spot between getting things done or bringing thoughts together.
The design is unmatched, declutters your mind and let you focus on writing and sharing gorgesous docs.

The greatness of this app couldn't possibly be put into words.
But here i go anyway...
•Minimalistic, yet powerful.
•Feature rich.
•FREE
•Better than Notes
•Better than Pages
•Better than Microsoft word for general notetaking.
•Did i mention, it's FREE?????
As a student, this app is amazing, and has saved me no time at all.
Why's that you ask?
Well, the problem is, this app is so good that i tend to spend more time playing around with all the cool features, than doing actual note-taking...
But hey, thats just a me problem... lol
