Personally I use Ulysses which has been great on desktop & mobile (supports code blocks, markup & more). However I'm not sure how I feel after they switched over to the whole subscription-model thing...anyone else have any success with similar alternatives?

If you live in the Apple ecosystem, I highly recommend mweb[1]. It ticks all the boxes I've been looking for:

  - intuitive UI: lets me see 1) raw markdown syntax or 2) formatted preview... no weird in-betweens
  - sync to/from mobile, with preview & edit support
  - markdown support with nice preview and support for code (similar to github style)
  - search
  - support for folders (and potentially tags, if I ever find a good use case for them)
  - pdf export
  - no subscription model

Alternatives I've tried which haven't done as well for one reason or another:

  - Bear: confusing preview/editing mode
  - Evernote: no markdown
  - Ulysses: subscription model shift
  - Standard Notes: confusing/buggy UI
  - Quiver: poor mobile support

I used Ulysses but I ended up moving to Bear[1]. It's still. a subscription fee, but much cheaper ($1.49/mo). It's lightweight and perfect for what I use it for - taking notes.

If I was going to suggest something for longer-form writings (e.g., journaling, blog posts) and you find that inadequate, I've heard good things about iA Writer[2].
