Leaving Notion Behind: Why Notesnook Became My Go-To for Simple, Private Notes
A year ago, I was a dedicated Notion user, relying on it to manage my notes, tasks, and ideas. Its all-in-one workspace promised endless possibilities-databases, wikis, Kanban boards, you name it. However, as time went on, I realized that Notion's complexity was more of a hindrance. I often spent countless hours on customizing the layouts instead of populating them with my ideas 😄 Notion is incredibly powerful and its versatility is amazing. For simple tasks - at least for my use cases - it felt like overkill. My Notion pages turned into elaborate dashboards when all I really wanted was a simple place to jot down thoughts.
I came across Notesnook on PrivacyGuides while researching other secure alternatives.
