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.

Looking for a ToothFairy alternative for non apple headphones, and peripherals? What are you using?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a solid macOS utility to manage my Bluetooth connections and peripherals, similar to what ToothFairy does.

However, my setup is a bit different from the usual AirPods crowd. I don’t use any apple based earphones/headphones. My main audio devices are Bose, Sony and a generic Bluetooth desktop speaker. I have Bluetooth mouse and keyboard too.

I know ToothFairy is highly recommended and I know not using a 3rd party is also an option but where is the fun in that.

Are there any other hidden gems or robust utilities that work flawlessly with third-party audio and multidevice setups?

Thanks

[MAS] SessionDock now lets you send mixes for feedback and get timestamped notes back in your project library

Hey r/macapps, I’m the solo developer behind SessionDock. I previously shared the Mac/iPhone sync update here. This update connects another part of the process: sending your music to someone else and getting useful feedback back.

You can now share an Album or Collection as a private, encrypted link. Someone opens it in their browser, listens and leaves timestamped comments. Those comments sync back into the matching project’s Waveform Notes in SessionDock. They don’t need an app or account.

**The problem:**

You send a few mixes to a bandmate, collaborator or client. Feedback comes back across texts and emails: “the bass gets loud around the second chorus” or “I liked the other version better.”

Then you have to find the right mix, work out the timestamp and copy the comments somewhere you’ll remember to check when you open the project.

I wanted to remove that extra work.

**What SessionDock does:**

SessionDock turns the DAW projects scattered across your drives into a searchable music library. You can hear a project’s bounce, read its notes and open it in its DAW without launching projects one by one just to remember what they are.

It works across Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, REAPER, Cubase and more. Your project files stay where you saved them.

Sharing extends that library to the people you want feedback from:

* Send an Album or Collection through one private, encrypted link
* Let recipients listen and leave timestamped feedback in their browser
* Read their comments alongside the matching project in SessionDock
* Jump directly to the relevant moment on the waveform
* Password-protect links and manage them from the desktop app

**What’s new:**

The useful part is that waveform notes sync both ways. A collaborator’s feedback comes into SessionDock, and changes to your desktop notes reach the shared link without sending it again.

For example, someone leaves “bring the vocal up here” at 1:24. When you sit down to work, that note is attached to the matching Session and timestamp. You can hear the section, read the feedback and open the DAW project from the same library.

If the same note is edited in both places before syncing, both versions are kept for review.

**Comparison:**

[Frame.io](http://Frame.io) also offers browser-based audio review and timestamped comments, with a broader set of media-review tools.

SessionDock’s advantage for a music-production workflow is that sharing starts from your existing project library and feedback returns to it. Your DAW project, mix preview and review notes stay connected, which saves copying comments between a review service and your project organizer.

**Pricing:**

SessionDock’s core library is free. Pro includes a base sharing allowance, so the additional Share subscription is optional.

* **SessionDock Pro:** $39.99 USD once for the direct-download version, covering your own Macs and PCs.
* **SessionDock Share:** $4.99/month or $39.99/year on the US App Store, requires Pro.

Share adds 100 GB of hosted storage, up to 100 active shares, a choice of 7-, 30- or 90-day expiration for new links, and removes SessionDock branding from the player page. Plans include monthly listening and feedback traffic allowances.

Pro remains a one-time software purchase. Share pays for additional hosted capacity. Regional App Store pricing and taxes may vary.

I built SessionDock for my own unfinished music, and I’m interested in how other producers handle this. When you send someone a mix, where does their feedback usually end up?
