And I was going to say Mac native as well, but uses Tauri. I’d love some app with the polish of Bear Notes but that just edited raw Markdown files. Ideally Obsidian with the Notebook Navigator plugin (strongly inspired by Bear Notes perhaps?) and (checks list) this very specific list of plugins that I need and should be good for everyone else thanks.

Typora? (https://typora.io/)

HelixNotes? ( https://codeberg.org/ArkHost/HelixNotes )

I had my hopes up, but looks like it has nothing to do with actual Helix.

If you want proper native for macOS, check out mdnb.app

I built it with this exact ethos, a curated set of "extended" functionality instead of a plugin system.

What plugins do you rely on in Obsidian?

Zettlr would like a word.

I really like Zettlr, but I find it is always crashing when markdown changes behind the scenes and it has the document open.

It's so good for viewing all markdown in a repo, but dies all too often.

Huh, somehow I had no idea that Obsidian wasn't open source. I guess I was fooled by the open source plugins.
