Great Tool. The workflow is very practical with quick temporary notes that can be reviewed daily and then either converted into notes or archived.
AI integration is cool, but I haven't tested it further.
The only problem is that neither the PWA nor the Android app allow offline note creation or editing. If that were implemented, it would be the perfect note-taking app for me.
