Hey,

I'm currently searching for the best solution to Notes and thought i'd see how other people manage this.

I feel like I have two types of notes that I may take and want to store.

1. Notes that store copies of letters, documents, bills, receipts, insurance, house purchase documents etc.
2. Plain text notes, list of items to buy, days off, work notes, quick text copies from the web etc.

I've looked at practically all the Note taking solutions I can find and I can't seem to settle on one.

I did use Evernote (only lightly though). I was happy with the limitations on the free version but now that the sync is limited between only two devices it's put me off and I feel EN is expensive.

I've just tried OneNote but hate the structure they use and the fact that Notebooks don;t show up straight away on other devices like the do in EN. You actually have to go and open them up rather than just seeing them all.

I really like SimpleNote but the lack of Notebooks or categories is annoying. I've also looked at others but none seem "Just right (for me at least)".

How do you all deal with the "note" situation. Do you store all the items mentioned in point 1 above in a Note solution or not?

I am also wanting it to be cross platform which is why I don't use Apple Notes.

Would just like some conversation on the subject to hear about other people's viewpoints.

Neil
