Yes, same here. I found out, that oftentimes I just need to vent something in a slightly structured way without any distraction. Apple Notes opens in an instant in an expected way, syncs and works across devices.

It is not so much a great workflow I need, it is simply frictionless noting down immediately.

After that I can go to further elaborate on the idea with a mightier tool. In my case it is GoodNotes.

After lots of attempts and frustration (Which features should I use now to get this idea out?) I now use only Apple Notes and GoodNotes.
