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

The Choices Are Yours
After 12 years I switched from Evernote to Craft and I'm not looking back. As a digital anthropologist, I work with a lot of software companies so I'm rather picky. Calendar integration, the tab feature, the ability to keep it minimalist as you like is sublime. If you write a lot of blog articles like I do on Medium, the editing tools don't force you into markdown and they stay out of the way until you need them. So much power under the hood and the design team considers the UI very well. Kudos to them. Lovely productivity app. Team sharing is nice, but not necessary for me and well priced.

Nearly Perfect
There is so much to like about using Craft as my primary notes application for my professional services business. Best features: backlinking is easy and to anything in the workspace; organizing notes is as layered as you want and easy to follow; simple formatting controls for writing; lots of publishing options; you can build notes but also more complex documents side by side; it goes on. There are things I'd really like to see added though to make this app complete. A) I would like to integrate my todo task manager, preferably with embedded links (I use Todoist)- some of my notes are actions and right now I need to manually transport all that to Todoist; Craft lacks a lot of integrations right now, but I assume that will change eventually. B) Get a web clipper; adding clipped web content easlity from a browser extenstion would be great - like Evernote, Nimbus, etc. C) I'd like the optoin to display attached files as printed pages instead of links; also to be able to markup those printed pages within the app. I just bought the PRO version so I can get additional workspaces and file uploads. Keep improving this beautiful app, please!

Too many bugs
It's an app with a great potential, but sadly there is too many bugs. Scrolling documents is not smooth at all, code block text disappear very often and copy paste stuff is a pain. It's like they don't test at all the product before a release. I will have to stick to another solution for now. It's sad because it's very good design for an app like this and mobile integration is very good.

Revolutionize Your Productivity: Discover the Magic of Craft Docs
As someone who has tried countless productivity and note-taking apps, I was blown away by Craft Docs. Not only is it visually stunning with its sleek design and customizable themes, but it also offers a seamless and intuitive user experience.
One standout feature for me has been the collaboration capabilities. Being able to work with others on the same document in real-time has made teamwork and projects a breeze. Additionally, the app's powerful search functionality has helped me quickly find what I need, even within large documents with multiple layers of organization.
Overall, I highly recommend Craft Docs to anyone looking for a comprehensive and user-friendly app for all their note-taking and organizational needs. It's truly an app that can enhance productivity and streamline your workflow.

Clean, Fast, Beautiful
This is what I’ve been looking for. As someone that has used Evernote for other 15 years and dabbled in some Notion, I felt like something was missing.
I wanted a clean interface that allowed for easy formatting but also all the benefits of Notion’s way of navigating through workareas.
Craft did not disappoint, it is so clean and beautifully designed which makes it a pleasure to use. It’s also very fast and now available online so you can use on windows machines.
For me this is the future. Thank you!
