    whats the point of a note taking application? Either keep the note in a .txt file for long term, or write it on pen & paper for short term.

    What’s the point of an app to keep temporary notes?

      They offer additional features. One Note ties into the MS eco-system in an okish way. Obsidian is basically text (actually md) in a folder/folders but supports plug-ins that can do a lot. Notion is backed by databases. Others run in the terminal and can support plug-ins. Evernote was one of the first to offer additional features and offered syncing and connections to other apps (seems a lot of that has been restricted in the last 15 years).

      Seeing all these recommendations for all these note taking applications makes me feel so out of touch lol like I literally just use Discord for short-term scrap notes and then I use txt files for long-term notes (synced to my Dropbox), like you said.

      I’m probably missing out on some features but honestly I have instant cloud syncing for my short-term and long-term notes and it works well enough for me, plus with 2FA it’s generally secure enough. Anything sensitive would be encrypted and probably stored locally only. It works well enough for me.
