If you think Clover is a good choice, I have no desire to dissuade you. I will say that if you’re still looking for an app that does a lot of what Clover does, I would also look at Organizedly:

https://www.organized.ly/

The two apps are very similar.I should hasten to say that I do not use Organizedly either, but I’ve been more intrigued by its development.

Not sure if any of these will provide you with what you want, but I have been trying out xTiles, Milanote and Walling recently and each has their own strengths. I initially did not warm up to the whiteboard meets Notion-like app concept, but all three of these changed my mind, at least with respect to researching and gathering information on discrete topics. Worth a look if you have not seen them.

Thanks Stephen and Ken for those suggestions.

What I am really looking for is something that combines knowledge and task management with *drawing*. Built-in mindmapping and diagramming would be a nice addition.

I really like that Clover is block-based — i.e. individual bullets or sentences can be referenced / embedded / transcluded in other locations.

However when I tried Clover, both on Chrome and using the Windows desktop app, I found drawing to be so laggy as to be virtually unusable. By comparison, drawing in Microsoft OneNote is delightful.

I welcome any other suggestions. :)

Looks like Clover is closing down and the staff are joining Figma - https://cloverapp.com/ .
