Simple but effective
Every app from this developer is high-quality, does one thing and does it very well
Journelly
Does what it promises to do, and does it well. Integrates nicely (I use iCloud) with org mode in Emacs on my laptop.
Fast, sustainable notes
Journelly enables me to quickly take notes when away from the computer. I especially like how fast it is to incorporate images. The iCloud setup is easy, which means that getting Journelly notes into my org-roam db and refining them later is a breeze.
Features that I hope will be added in the future are:
- LaTex math support
- tables
- org-agenda

A first rate input device for iOS
The iCloud Sync works great. Simply have your note taking application open to the iCloud document.
Simple way to capture phone thoughts.
If you’re looking for a simple app to capture images, todos and thoughts on your phone, this is a decent option. Its superpower is that it generates a plaintext (org mode or markdown) file that can be synced to your computer via iCloud. This app solves two big pain points of a plaintext productivity system: mobile, and images. Unlike most (all) other similar apps, this handles images super gracefully, and it looks great on mobile. If you’re an org mode fanatic in a museum, for example, this is the app you need. Similarly, if you live in markdown and are looking for a “jot it down and assess it later” app, and also want to keep a food journal, or track the growth of a houseplant, or the books you need plus photos of where they are in the stacks, this would do the job. The only thing it can’t do is push you reminders about upcoming todos—which, to be fair, is not something in its design scope.
