I use NotesNook. Just imported from SimpleNote a month ago without issue. If you are like 95% of people and take very few notes, consider using Simplenote since it starts up fast (including on mobile), syncs across place is very quickly, and gets out of your way. NotesNook is very similar, but has some additional features for organization and rich media. After using Simplenote for over 5 years my notes are starting to need some more organization.

Same for me but I migrated from StandardNotes.

How does it compare?

For my needs it was the same, but nook was cheaper.

can i ask did you give Obsidian a try? I am curious what are the options notesnook is providing that makes people wanna pay for it compared to free-ish options such as Obsidian/logSeq. Is it the syncing part?

yeah sync- I like to be able to jot down a note on my phone while out walking. But might follow up on my computer later. For SimpleNote and NotesNook you don't have to think about sync and its free. I would only consider paid Obsidian for the sync. I tried Obsidian early on (years ago) and though it was awful and too bloated for my needs. It looks better now, but mostly I just need low friction to writing things down.

I have not tried Obsidian yet.

I don't remember why I paid for it, maybe syncing wasn't in the free tier before? I don't know, but I got the yearly sub.
