A new note-taking app appeared on the Mac App Store last month. It only costs $6, so I tried it. SpringNotes has a collection of features that distinguish it. Particularly:

- You can fold content in your notes.
- Embedded tasks can have a due date and priority set for them.
- Versioning
- iOS editions

I have corresponded with the developer and he seems extremely responsive to suggestions and eager to improve the app.

There are other nice features as well. I wrote blog article about it, if you’re interested in learning more:

Thanks for bringing this app to our attention. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, and offers a couple of things that OmniOutliner doesn’t - like due dates.

Ideally it would also be a superset of Apple Notes, into which I save jpegs and pdfs, but it seems it doesn’t currently handle attachments. I’d also need to be able to specify my font choice, but it’s not clear that this is possible either.

How are file search and document search?

The search feature is very weak at this time. I’ve sent an inquiry to the developer asking about his plans to make the search more useful. I’ll let you know what I hear back.

I’ve noticed that too. I thought I was doing something wrong on my iPad. Thanks for the. tip.

I did hear back from the developer. He admits the search is very weak and plans on improving it. He will first improve the search in a single note, then will turn his attention to searching through all documents/notes.

I hadn’t noticed this weakness when I first wrote the review.

The developer does impress me as someone who is eager to make his app very good, so I have no doubt this will be addressed, I just don’t know how long it will take.
