“Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.“
Sir Richard Branson
By far my favorite note app due to its simplicity yet very well organized design and useful features. Has some (minor) glitches and shortcomings, but I love its design. Pros... Feature rich (hierarchical notes, tables, code boxes, image import, db import/export, etc.) Not bloated with features you don't need Super easy to keep all your notes on dissimilar topics all in one place, well organized and easily navigatable Cons... CherryTree occasionally crashes for me (Windows). Not sure if the root cause is CherryTree or not. I may send feedback to the developer(s) and see what's up. UPDATE: I no longer see any crashes. I believe the problem was my work computer was still running Windows 7 (!!!) It never crashed for me under Win 10 (which I use at home). I only ever saw it crash on that one computer running Win 7. Interface sometimes seems to have been developed in its own universe rather than using standard libraries, toolkits, etc. Example ... Creating and editing tables is workable but not like any table editing you've probably seen before.
rmbjr60CherryTree is not a straightforward note-taking application in the same vein as "Remember the Milk" or "Evernote." CherryTree places an exclusive emphasis on the functional aspects of note taking, eschewing any attempt at design. It gives you the ability to take notes in rich text format and highlights syntax for you. You have the option of storing your data in an XML file or a Sqlite file. CherryTree is loaded to the brim with features that enable you to directly pull notes and the features associated with them from a wide variety of programs and websites. Rich text, image handling, multi-level list handling, tables handling, codebox handling, hyperlinks, iteration sorting, and so on are just some of the many features that it possesses. Other features include: This tool is for users who need to copy not only text but also backgrounds, images, fonts, and a great deal more in addition to text. It is not for people who simply want to copy text. When it is used properly, it can save a web page along with all of the important attributes that are associated with it. This allows you to move the files over to another content management system without taking the web coding from the previous CMMS with you.
I can easily store articles, notes, books, and syllabi in folders as I prepare for my dissertation and exams. Powerful but easy to organize. I do wish there was a bit more of a detailed interface for note taking. But overall, Devonthink is a powerful software that does everything I need. It is a great and powerful program for graduate students, academics, and other researchers. Great for storing readings, pdfs, and notes for projects, classes, etc.
DEVONthink is a document storage system that also assists you in maintaining their order. It is one of the best applications for taking notes on a Mac that can also keep your data safe to sync. This utility saves copies of all of your documents in separate databases and gives you a variety of options for accessing them. DEVONthink is capable of storing all of your documents, maintaining their order, and providing access to them at any time you require it.
Good-looking and feature-full note taking software. Not just for programmers but for writers and researchers as well.

I was looking for an open source alternative to Workflowy. This is about as close as I could get. The UI isn't all that modern, but it is fairly configurable. You can change the fonts used and their sizes. The size of the toolbar items can be changed, you can actually make them really big. In my case I disabled the toolbar; the icons mix badly with a dark theme. The other thing that is a bit annoying is the icons. They are tiny and quite dated too. Maybe a nitpick on my part? Still, at least you can change the default entry icon from the cherry to any of the options they provide, such as a dot, like in a bullet list. I'm happy with this application. It does everything I need it to do well, without subscriptions or needless cloud dependency.

Fantastic note-taking app, probably the best in the business in that it isn't cloud based, works windows and linux, and supports encryption and has tons of features. The only major problem I have with it is that nearly every Linux distro out there is removing CherryTree from their standard repos. I can't get it after Debian 9, Fedora 30, or CentOS 7. Even Manjaro doesn't include it anymore. Anyone have any idea why?

The thing I like best is that I can export all of the mail from mac mail into devonthink. I then have access to that email, not only from my mac, but also from my iPad and iPhone. The only thing I dislike happens to be one of the things I like most about Devonthink -- The email archiving capability is great, except for the fact that email that is archived to Devonthink is not deleted from Mac Mail. It's not horrible, since I only archived filed email.

Extremeley versatile. Super reliable. Very powerful search functions. Very regular updates. It's take a while to fully explore all the possibilities the application offers (even after more than ten years of usage, I always discover new functions)

I’ve tried all their competitors and DEVONthink is by far the best. Fastest search, most flexible, lots of options of how to store data clipped from elsewhere. Would love more granular flexibility on what data does and does not sync to mobile.

It is mostly for people undertaking technical tasks |
The tool is not a convenience tool as other note-taking apps are |
No mobile :/ sometimes you need it.. |
and not, I don't want to use joplin, is nowhere near the same |
UI the first time is weird |
It seems from the roadmap this will change for better |
No custom icons in a easy way :/ yes sometimes you need it |
Either way, you can change it or add more icons there is a topic on how to do it on github. |
