- Quiver: https://happenapps.com/ I bought this app. It's great. I've been using it for a long time. But I gave it up when I found notion.so. Quiver doesn't allow me to sync multiple notebooks. Under each notebook, you cannot have a sub-notebook under a notebook (like a folder inside a folder). It doesn't support global search.

- SimpleNote: bad UI. The render is buggy.

- Notion.so: So far it's my favorite. But the desktop app is slow. Especially for work, I need to take a lot of quick notes.

- Joplin: quickly tried but gave it up. Slow and bad UI.

- Notable: https://github.com/notable/notable Nice, clean UI. The render is fast. A great feature of notable is that it has a "copy block" button for the code block. I love the feature. But the problem is I cannot use cmd + w to close the window, it always pops up a confirmation modal. (IMAO, modal is the worst UI ever invented on this planet.) No updates recently. I am willing to pay this app if a new version comes out.

- Fsnotes: https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes Nice, clean UI. But the render is buggy.

- Bear App: https://bear.app/ Nice clean UI. But the weird thing is in all the other markdown I've used, "-" is for a list, "[]" is for a to-do list. But in Bear, "-" is for a to-do list, "*" is for a list.

I ended up paying two apps, Notion for personal stuff, Bear for work.
