nvALT. (http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/)

I've tried fancier things like Bear, Evernote, and Workflowy, but keep coming back to the simplicity of nvALT. Evernote is for recipes. Bear is for avoiding rich text editors. Workflowy is for logging research notes.

nvALT is for everything else + kitchen sink.



I use regular Notational Velocity. Didn't know about this fork, will have to try it out.


FSNotes is another NV-like alternative: https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes


I recommend using regular textfile storage with both of these, I had horrible corruption issues when using Dropbox for syncing. Lots lots of notes. Make regular backups!


Yeah, the fork is hands-down better. I use Simplenote to sync to other devices (including my phone).
