Bear.app is close to my ideal app, but since it only works on Apple devices, I have a hard time committing to it.

The built in Apple-made Notes.app is inferior in almost all aspects but there is a web interface I can use when I'm on Linux or Windows.

Obsidian works well on all systems. It has folders, markdown notes, and cloud sync. Switched to it from Bear because of Linux and quite happy.

I used to use bear but it would constantly override options I’d set regarding things like smart quotes etc.

I use obsidian now, and I really like it.
