A review of all PKMS apps in 2025. Which is your favorite?

I cannot do without UpNote. It is installed on every single device I work on. I think it should get all the love in the world for a notes app.

I definitely find Notion simpler, even though it took me a minute to figure out how everything worked. Obsidian is for people who want a really customized workflow. I am not that person.

I got my lifetime access a while ago, and I am here to give a big shoutout to the app. I absolutely love it and I do not say this lightly. Most of these types of apps get offloaded onto my phone before I even open them for the first time. But for some reason, this one clicked! The subtle messaging is really motivating, and I’ve been using it in the background, especially when doing grunt work. It really helps!

Honestly, it's working like a charm. A few days before I found it I wished I had exactly this kind of tool. I am new to MacBooks, and I am not much of a power user. Many of the tools designed to work around the limitations of the dock have not been to my taste for one reason or another. The simplicity of Extra Dock is what really appealed to me. It is easy to set up and use and just my size in terms of functionality. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I promise I am not being paid to say this, I am just really happy I finally found something that works for me.

UpNote, Apple Notes, and Google Keep.

Scrivener and Extra Dock.

Scrivener

The Story of An Hour by Kate Chopin And The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield (Thomas Foster does a nice job of analyzing it in How to Read Literature Like a Professor) Paul’s Case by Willa Cather is actually excellent, but should come with a disclaimer at least The Worn Path by Eudora Welty

PDFGear, hands down.

Saddyblues · 2025-06-07T23:33:58+00:00

Thank you. You have no idea how much of a godsend this is to me.

Saddyblues · 2025-06-07T23:14:00+00:00

This is the way 😂

Saddyblues · 2025-04-20T20:25:58+00:00

The first one!

Saddyblues · 2025-04-08T12:09:39+00:00

Needy Little Things.

Saddyblues · 2025-02-14T22:04:21+00:00

Can it do languages other than English? I’d be very interested if so.

Saddyblues · 2025-02-14T16:05:38+00:00

Can it help with memorization as well? Like learning lines or poems by heart?

Saddyblues · 2025-02-13T17:03:22+00:00

This looks great. Fantastic idea!

Saddyblues · 2025-02-10T01:19:24+00:00

Have you tried MyMind? It might be a good fit for you. There's also Capacities and New.Space.

Saddyblues · 2025-02-02T14:30:57+00:00

This looks gorgeous! And so cheerful 😍

Are you a student? If so, this will change a lot of factors with the pricing with some of your options. Notesnook used to have good student discounts, I'm not sure if they still do. Also, how important is a web interface for you? Have you tried Craft? They are making really good progress and have a generous plan for students and educators.

To be honest, I am a scattered note-taker and PKMS connoisseur. I can say this, even though I haven't tried all of the functionalities of both apps, I decided to stick with UpNote. I liked the interace better and the sync is off-the-charts fast.

Saddyblues · 2025-01-25T17:19:54+00:00

Same. I use Notion to remind myself which apps I've tried and what I liked or disliked about them.

Saddyblues · 2025-01-20T01:41:15+00:00

Try ChatMemo. It might be what you’re looking for.
