• There are 4 archetypes of users for taking notes -
    1. Architect - Need a clear structure.
    2. Gardener - More spontaneous.
    3. Librarian - More of a collector/categorizer.
    4. Student - Mixture of the above.

I am more of an Architect, but I want to think more like a Gardener. Also, I like how cool Obsidian is, some of the benefits are -

  • Super secure, as everything is local.
  • Easy to sync across Apple devices.
  • The community plugins are amazing.
  • Everything is plain text, making it super fast.
  • Closest to the one app to rule them all approach.

Personally, I would recommend either Notion or Obsidian -

I did not go with Notion as I thought it was too complicated and had too many options, and I spent a lot of time just deciding which template I wanted.
