Soot: a simple notes app for Mac, iPad and iPhone, somewhere between Apple Notes and Obsidian (public beta)
https://preview.redd.it/51g9elnmvmvh1.jpg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8af86ff88ab8b54643e45543b206376ada1f973c
I know. Announcing a notes app on Reddit is about as original as starting a podcast, so I’ll stick to the format.
Problem
My notes were split between Apple Notes and Obsidian. Notes is lovely to open and type in, but everything sits in a database, and I want my AI assistants working with my notes. Obsidian has the plain Markdown files I want, but I kept ending up in plugins and settings instead of writing.
Comparison
Soot sits between Apple Notes and Obsidian, and it’s closest in feel to Bear.
Like Notes, you open it and write, with no plugins, settings or account to deal with first. Unlike Notes, every note is a plain .md file in a folder you choose, so other apps can open it and AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Cursor) can work with your notes on your Mac.
Like Obsidian, it’s Markdown files in folders, but with far less app around them. The formatting shows as you type and the Markdown symbols don’t, unless you’d rather see them.
Like Bear, it’s a native writing app, but it hides more of the Markdown than Bear does, and your notes are plain files in folders, with tags too if you want them, instead of living in a database.
It’s written in Swift, not Electron. Folders, search, twelve themes, and optional end-to-end encrypted sync. I can’t read your notes.
The full feature list is here: https://sootsync.com/features
Pricing
The whole editor is free. Soot Pro adds sync between devices for $2.49 a month or $24.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. It’s a TestFlight beta for now, and you can join at https://sootsync.com

Markdown based UpNote OR UpNote/Craft Alternatives
Because of my studies and self-learning, I use a lot of digital notes. Most of the AI brainstorming notes are markdown. I am not happy with Obsidian, closest thing I liked was UpNote, it's almost perfect except for the lack of markdown formatting and AI interoperability. That just sucks.
Are there any apps that are not subscription, a pleasure to use aesthetically, potentially great with AI enhanced note management and creation?
I found some tools like Wander, Lettera (in full Beta, made by Bear note's team), Skein, Nodes, Marklet...but wanted to ask your opinion guys.
Everything feels more complex than it should be. Feels like there must be something else. Especially the readability is important for me, graph. Diagrams, images, etc. If there is no app to match this, I may even ditch markdown completely. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: AI editing and AI interoperability is not a must. Learning should be a pleasure imho, and things like raw markdown, latex etc are painful. That's the gist of my quest here. Thanks.
