  • Nice but developer need to fix QoL issues

    I was looking for a simple markdown app that will store the file in the filesystem directly, so I could also use other apps on my notes (e.g. fsnotes, obsidians)

    This is a nice app but the developer needs to focus on polish the app, not adding new functionality but from a USER perspective, the QoL issues, including one commented by other about numbered list.

    Many are like me, use "tab" to make simple outline. The "tab" and "shift tab" functions that work pretty universal in many other note app are broken.

    I like the app but I just can't press the purchase button unless the developer can fix the issues.

  • My Go-To

    I first found this app when I was looking for something that allowed good quick-note-taking without being too simple. I originally used Drafts, and I still do for super-quick notes. But this app is slowly taking over, especially with the enhancements during every update. I love that I can use markdown (and the markdown isn't plain), and I can easily open non-Taio files to view in this editor. It is absolutely amazing - and the settings are easy to customize. Nothing is too complicated with this app - it does what it is supposed to do and I have come to rely on it more and more. Awesome work, developers!

  • The app is great but premium is too high

    I would def pay $20 for this in a private option or something but $40 is crazy there are other options but maybe not as advanced yet but still available for a reasonable price.. if developer makes price more reasonable more people will buy, an update based payment model would be more beneficial for you.

  • Loving the App, Curious About

    I've been using the Taio app for a while now and it's honestly a very powerful app – it's become an essential part of my work. However, I've noticed that there haven't been any recent updates. I'm curious to know why the updates have stopped, as I'm looking forward to new features and continuous improvements. Hope to see it actively supported again soon!

  • Faster sync than Obsidian, still feature light

    I really wanted to love Obsidian. I spent several hours tweaking it and making it my own. Great plugin community, pinning, custom themes. But one of the main featuers I look for in a note-taking app is sync. I want my notes available anywhere so I can tap one in at a moment's notice! Every time I load Obsidian on my phone, it sits there and syncs for minutes at a time, and if I tell it to skip, who knows what will happen. Taio isn't instant, but it's much faster and I have confidence that my mobile notes will sync up with my desktop notes. Taio even has widgets for your iPhone lock screen! So for now, Taio is my reliable swiss army knife for notes.
    Would love to see tabbing work better (it just doesn't for me), as well as pinnnable tabs. I know there are "pro" features available but they haven't hit the "need to have" nerve for me yet.

  • One massive deal breaker

    The app is great in every way with one huge exception ( because of what I use it for). The app has a section in the sidebar called “Locations” for quick access to different locations such as iCloud and local drive.
    This place lets you add your own quick access locations but it does not work with other cloud providers such as OneDrive or GoogleDrive. So,if you’re purely Apple guy, get it. If your files or some of them are on non-apple platform, don’t get it.

  • Great Start — Could Be Better

    I've spent many hours looking for a good markdown editor that is native to Mac. I somehow stumbled upon Taio. I love the concept. It's native, integrates amazing with MacOS and iOS, and has a nice UI. However, it really needs some polishing to become a good note taking app on MacOS. I've been using Obsidian for my notes for over a year now. I love the power it offers, the plugins, the customizability, etc. However, I really don't like how much RAM it takes up, and it's just not going to be like a native app liek Taio. If Taio could even impliment some basic things I would use it over Obsidian on a daily basis, and I think a lot of other people would as well. Here are a few of my suggestions:
    1. Optimize it for Mac. This could include adding things like customizable keyboard shortcuts.
    2. Allow the folder view sidebar to have dropdown folders.
    3. Add a command pallete for the commands. This could include the powerful Apple Shortcuts that integrate so well.
    4. And an open file pallete for quick access to notes.
    5. PLEASE just add a beautiful and thick cursor that matches the color scheme. For some reason this makes a huge difference.
    6. The tabbing for lists is a little buggy too.

    Good work, devs! You made an amazing app that is already nice. I would love to see you continue development on it. I even purchased the lifetime access because I trust that you guys will make it amazing. :)

  • Paid for multiple devices, only works on one

    Getting network errors so I cannot restore the Pro subscription I pay for on other devices, despite the mutli-device advertisement!
  • does not copy all to clipboard all the time

    Command C or select copy does not save it to clipboard all the time. Also, shortcut icon does on menue bar does not have clipbard pin. I have to open the app to show clipboard. I have not tries other features, there are many but I regret to buy it for clipboard use case on Mac.
  • Amazing!!! A couple suggestions.

    I fell in love with this app. I love how smoothly it runs on the iPad and iPhone and how deeply integrated it is with the Apple ecosystem. Bravo! I would love to have some kind of foward/back navigation to use as I work with my files. Also, it would be neat if the files in the Editor were integrated with Spotlight Search aside from the Files app.
