    It's so powerful and useful for students, working professionals, and techies. This was a great app to use for me because it also has markdown support which modern note-taking apps do not provide. Overall, this is a great app for power users who take lots of notes and It's free!!!!!!!!!!

    Joplin has some similar features to Capacities, but it relies on markdown. Capacities is WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get).

    Standard notes is a lot less powerful than Capacities. Not one of the better alternatives. Much simpler.
