![]() ![]() Since Notion doesn’t have folders, everything lives as a page and can be nested within other pages. Because Notion is a pretty ‘raw’ tool, the look isn’t exactly exciting.Īt the highest level, Notion Workspaces define what kind of content you’ll store. For anyone who wants the most simple experience, you can use Notion in the same way as Craft: sorting pages into folders. The more information you have to manage, the more useful Notion gets.įortunately, if you’re a writer and you want a powerful system to organize your notes and plotting documents, Notion is amazing. Notion specializes in making it (somewhat) easy to build a database of content associated with tags, dates, and more so you can quickly sort and search. Hell, even if you are into databases and wikis, the Notion app has a lot going on. If you’re not into databases and wikis, Notion can be overwhelming. The focus is on a comfortable writing experience with just enough features without overloading or making the tool dense. If you’re an author or blogger or anyone who takes a lot of notes, Craft is a solid choice. The app on my Mac and through Chrome is pretty fast both for page loading and the typing experience. You’ve got enough versatility-images, HTML, document uploading-to take rich notes without having to learn a complex tool. Even with the potential of getting lost in your documents, Craft presents simple options for writing and styling notes. If you need a dedicated note-taking app and you like the simplicity of Craft, $4.00 is well worth it. You’re limited on storage too, so you’ll likely need to buy into a paid plan to use Craft to its fullest.Īt $4.00 per month, Craft isn’t wildly expensive. Using Craft for five days left me with only ~650 of my 1000 blocks. That might seem like a lot, but the content adds up fast.

You won’t be able to schedule reminders or anything to prompt you to use the calendar, so you’ll need to be diligent or use a different app to stay on task. The Craft writing app features a nice, simple calendar with the option to add daily notes, tasks, or whatever. Their text editor is far and away their most attractive feature. Craft is more suited to actually writing be it a journal entry, long-form essay, blog post, or just a stream of consciousness. That can be pretty tedious as you need to make a folder or page for templates and duplicate then move them to the appropriate location. ![]() Most of us want (or need) to create pages for each character and location along with notes about plot, pacing, relationships, and more. If you use the Craft writing app to plan out a book, you may find it a little challenging to track down pages if they’re nested within another page. It’s important to understand the way Craft nests your content because the sidebar only shows your folders, sub-folders, and highest-level documents. I was feeling like flexing my Canva skills, so here’s a little chart to see how Craft sorts your notes. You’ll also be able to create unique ‘Spaces’ to separate your content by its purpose. And, as you can see on their Getting Started page, you can nest pages within a page.

They’re currently Beta testing a web-based version too I had no problem getting an invitation the same day I requested access. Craft started as a Mac-only application for simple note-taking. ![]()
