But after a while I found that it was becoming a mess, well the way I was using it. It seemed great on paper, I could create notes as I did in Evernote, I could write quickly and easily using the Markdown features Bear supports, it seemed ideal. Then I looked at Bear Notes as I thought it would be both a replacement for Evernote and a writing application. I did find having to buy a monthly licence a problem because I was already paying for a yearly subscription to Evernote, getting another subscription on top of Evernote just for a writing application? I just couldn’t justify the cost to myself. Some of the features I really liked, like the word count target and the focussed UI when you are writing are both great features. I did have a look at Ulysses for a bit, I downloaded the demo version and explored using it. It is a great note taking application, ideal for keeping notes, ideas and plans together and the search in Evernote is amazing, but the writing and formatting within Evernote is not as good as it could be, hopefully it is something they add soon. So this excluded the idea of using Evernote for a writing application. Not only is it used for things like GitHub, but now blog posts can be written in it, and even eBooks can be written using Markdown. I knew I wanted a Markdown writer because Markdown is becoming a universal way of writing content on the web now. So I looked around at the various options, there was Ulysses, Bear Notes, Evernote and iA Writer. I was looking for a writing application as I was planning to start writing a eBook. I bought a licence for iA Writer ages ago, but never really used it that much at first.
