In addition to Scrivener support, Marked 2 supports everything from clipboard previews (hit Command-Shift-V) to MarsEdit blog posts (under the Preview menu). The JavaScript-based features are rewritten and optimized, and even the scroll-to-edit feature is over 10x faster at processing version differences on long documents. Just about every part of the app is faster, actually. This version includes a rewrite of the file watching system which speeds up response times. That’s on my plate right next to a spoonful of time off. I now plan to have an App Store version of Marked 2 (at the same price) in addition to the current one 1, but I need to work around a couple of sandboxing roadblocks first. The decision to go outside the App Store was a difficult one, and I’ve definitely had second thoughts.

If not, you can still grab the original Marked and receive full support for it.

You can try Marked 2 for free (seven day trial) and see if it’s worth the $12 price to you. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure I can’t add that copy to the App Store description, but I don’t feel that leaving Marked 1 up for a while is going to cause anyone undue harm, and I’ll be providing fixes as needed (though it hasn’t needed many for a while now). The App Store version is very solid, and from here will serve as a “light” version for people who don’t want to drop $12.

It costs $US 11.99 and there is no upgrade price from the App Store version of Marked. Marked 2 is currently only available outside of the App Store. There’s a lot to love about the new version, but let me start by clearing up any confusion.

And syncing data is really easy with build into macOS tools like rsync or additional software like ChronoSync.Marked 2 has officially launched.

For now I prefer Obsidian and DokuWiki as the both can do the same and are I can access any data with any text editor. If additional functionality is required just add sidecar xml files or whatever. So I will only consider paying for VoodoPad 6 (and I would love to buy an upgrade even if $50) if they use an open format like markdown or html.

And I won't accept a 'you can export it to whatever' as this isn't an option if the app won't work anymore as they shut down their license server or simply won't start on a newer system. I learned from my failure and will never again put my data into apps that store them in their own secret format. And nearly all of these apps used theit own storage format making it very difficult to switch to some better alternatives. In the past years there were multiple apps I loved to use that either just vanished or switched to a subscription based model (that I won't pay for). I really loved VoodoPad back a few years but there were also some parts I never really liked as no open storage format. In summary, I’ve found extremely robust writing apps that will be supported for a long time, but which really are not trying to scratch exactly the same itch as VoodooPad. However others may be able to use it with more discipline. I used to use DevonThink, which does have inter-note linking, but something about the look and feel of it never agreed with me, it felt a little like a generic kitchen sink Mac app, and the temptation to throw all kinds of files in it led to it becoming sort of just a recreation of my hard drive. Switching to a somewhat expensive subscription model has, I think, been very good for the developers, allowing them to budget for boring things like “keep up with the Mac OS” without having to worry about what feature to add to draw new users in.

In the meantime my notes simply contain snippets of “see also ~name of other note~” which, actually, I’ve grown used to. People do request the feature and the developers are, I believe, considering it.

This one is closer in use case to VoodooPad, and really has a great feel to it in use, but again, no inter-note linking. Absolutely no inter note linking.įor personal stuff, I use Ulysses, which is another extremely robust native Mac app. The new Notes feature in v14 is about as basic as you might think. Darin, for work I have been using just a pile of text documents in BBEdit, which is not at all a replacement, but at least BBEdit is rock solid and will be developed forever, apparently.
