That app connects to notesnook or obsidian. I like the level of complexity of notesnook. I don’t use 95% of what’s available in obsidian
I struggle to keep Obsidian basic enough - leveraging how nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kytcqyqd6dt7msdc6nw9p40sagq6kftw5xh4y8auq7y3mzn9f54dtf2q9k0v3xw4 uses it. I find NoteNook to be less powerful, but easier to handle. I bounce between the two. For iOS I use Auer Jot app my good friend wrote - super minimal but an excellent note taking app >> https://auerjot.com/

Same. I especially like that Notesnook is end-to-end encrypted whereas Obsidian is plain text (markdown) files. Knowing that I use them accordingly. I don't pay for Obsidian sync (or iCloud) so have not used it via iOS yet.
You don’t need obsidian sync on iOS. Just put your obsidian vault in a folder on iCloud. Point all your obsidian apps to that folder and you’re set.
I like the encrypted aspect. Not self hosted. I saw self hosting is alpha right now.
guess I have to use iCloud after all - will be a fun distraction for the morning. I went down a deep Templater plugin hole yesterday while trying to simplify my Obsidian vault! At least now I have a clean custom template every time I create a new note!
What type of customization do you get with that plugin? I’m having trouble vizualizing what sort of template you can do? Like bullet lists? Or automatic link to another note? Stuff like that?
Templater is incredibly powerful - too much so. I use the folder auto template function mostly along with the standard properties function. This allows me to create a note template ("Basic") that has the layout and properties I want for every note that gets created by default notes folder. One of the properties is to apply the date the note was created automagically.
Ah so you add the metadata directly in the note. Interesting
