I don’t need the above for research and writing nearly as much. It is just as easy, but not easier, to copy/paste follow-up items in AN to Reminders/Things as it is in Obsidian so no loss in the switch. Text recognition in embedded documents and images will be extremely helpful.While these can be created in Obsidian, there is much more friction in Obsidian than in AN The quick note feature will be very handy for work.The ability to handwrite, sketch, markup as needed.In AN I simply “throw” the file in the note and I can easily and immediately open it and it does not make a mess of my notes with a long string of syntax. The problem with Obsidian is that one has to put those files in an Obsidian folder (mine is called Attachments) and then add the transclusion syntax for the document. Immediate access to a Word, Pages, Numbers, Excel or PDF document in that note.For example, I need and/or prefer to have a number of features available to me when composing project notes or when taking notes in a meeting. There is too much friction in creating meeting and project notes in Obsidian–for my work needs. I’m considering moving work project, meeting, and reference notes to Apple Notes. This material is intended to be permanent, is personal, and I want it in plain text and I want robust linking. I’m committed to this and do not expect to change. I’m experimenting with this final workflow–it is only a minor tweak from what I’ve been doing for several months: I still testing but overall I find that having EVERYTHING in Obsidian (writing, research, and all work related project and meeting notes) is too much and a bit too fiddly. I definitely would NOT recommend changing all of your stuff from Obsidian to AN. I, too, want to leave it in a non-proprietary format and i don’t want to convert 100s or maybe 1000s of MD files to Apple Notes. Craft is better in this regard but I find typing long notes or anything else in a block-based system to be tedious. There are downsides to the latter–the biggest is that I prefer the non-proprietary nature of plain text with MD, though I’m not a big fan of notes littered with MD syntax. As to AN, I like the ability to easily create tables and to add drawings/sketches or handwrite notes as needed.Įverything being equal, and they never are, I prefer deeply integrated, free, native apps whenever possible. But with the new features being added to Reminders and Notes in iOS 15 and Monterey, I am experimenting to see if Reminders could replace Things and if I can effectively use AN for work meeting and project notes. I’m still deeply committed to Obsidian and that will remain, especially for all writing and research. I also really like using Siri to add emails and notes to AN and Reminders. The cool thing about this is that I can seamlessly add the Apple Note and it shows up as a simple icon in Reminders–see below. I too would prefer fewer text lines but that is a minor inconvenience that is resolved by using Apple Notes.
