It’s worth reading about the latest features: https://about.noteshub.app/blog/archive/2024/7/noteshub-34
The developer is meticulous about documenting them. He doesn’t use a conventional Help file, but a simple (info) symbol in the menu bar calls up a nicely presented tabbed box with (a) user guide, (b) hot keys and (c) tips.
And I hadn’t realised (but have just remembered after reading back over previous comments) that NotesHub is available for Mac, iOS, Android and Windows, at very modest prices. This – plus the latest features – puts it into the same league as UpNote.

I’ve bought it and had a quick look and it seems like a useful tool: but I can’t see if it’s possible to export any of its content?

Well, no, NotesHub doesn’t “export” as such, but there are very good reasons for that.
NotesHub saves all its files to straightforward markdown text files (locally, or for syncing purposes in iCloud, Git or GitHub, depending on which you prefer). There’s no database, no proprietary file format – just straight *.md files.
So you can open them in any markdown or text editor, or import them into apps like Bear or Ulysses.
If you want to export them in a different format, you can do so from e.g. Bear or Ulysses, or any number of other editors (many of them free). Typora, for example, will export markdown files in numerous different formats, from HTML to ePub to PDF to Word. Obsidian will do the same if you use a PanDoc-supporting plugin.
The other option is to print NotesHub files to PDF, which works perfectly well.
For me, the fact that NotesHub saves its files to simple text (albeit with markdown code if you use markdown) is one of its enormous strengths. It means that should Oleg/Alex ever stop developing NotesHub (which I hope won’t happen!), you’ll still be able to open and view the files from a vast number of different apps. Without having to import or export them to anything!

Plus, of course, you can create an Obsidian vault in your NotesHub folder/directory. Or use the excellent Tangent to view/edit the files instead.
