I really like using Ulysses on iOS (more so than on Mac), but I hate how it obscures links and images, uses non-standard Markdown, and litters my Dropbox folders with Ulysses plist files. Though I generally come back to iA eventually, every time. IA Writer, unfortunately, still has annoying Dropbox-related bugs that occasionally bug me so much I switch to something else. Unfortunately, I'm still in the exact same position! Caret has come a long way, but still doesn't have the polish of iA Writer.
#Sketchnotes app for mac mac
In my post two years ago I wrote about a few different Mac Markdown apps I was jumping between, as I hadn't found the perfect one for me. I'm happy to have given up the hunt for the perfect notes app finally! Writing I'm going to write more about this app once it's out of beta, but I've been testing a Mac and iOS notes app called Bear for months, and I love it. There are some things that are best done on a computer. They're both inexpensive, smooth, and very fine. These are the pens I use for sketchnotes. The smaller nib is why I use my Eco more often. I love how smooth these are, and sometimes use them for journalling, but I wish they had smaller nibs. One has a 1.1 italic nib, and the other an extra fine nib. I have two Safaris that I use occasionally. I have an extra fine clear Eco, and love it. I have an A5 Roterfaden with two notebooks in it right now: a Seven Seas Crossfield that I use as my journal/commonplace book, and a Tomoe River insert that I use for sketchnotes and scribbles when I'm researching writing projects. The clips are very sturdy, and can hold thick notebooks with no trouble. This is a notebook system similar to the MTN, though instead of Midori's rubber bands, the Roterfaden (pictured on the left) uses metal clips to hold your notebook inserts inside. I use the grid inserts for brainstorming and making notes about articles, as well as tracking what needs to be done for each article I write (send, edit, invoice, etc.) and future article ideas. I use the monthly calendar to track deadlines for my client work, and soon my university deadlines will go in there, too. In here I have an awesome weekly/monthly planner insert made from Tomoe River paper that I bought on Etsy (the shop is currently closed, but I'll try to remember to link to it when it's available again), and two grid/dot grid Tomoe River inserts. I switched to the passport size so I wouldn't feel so overwhelmed, so now I'm using my regular size as a writing notebook. It used to be my everyday planner, but it started to feel too big when my daily to do lists were very short. This is the first MTN I bought, and I loved it. I have two inserts in my passport size MTN: a weekly insert, where I plan upcoming events and appointments, and a grid insert where I keep my daily to do list, and monthly appointment/event list.
This is my everyday planner, where I use the Bullet Journal system with a few personal tweaks, including an Autofocus list. Midori Traveler's Notebook, passport size
I have three main notebooks on the go at the moment, which is almost overkill. These are the old school tools I rely on most. I've been embracing analogue tools more lately, so my toolset is a fairly even combo of analogue and digital. It's about time for an update, so here's my current toolset.
Two years ago I wrote about the tools I was using for writing.
