    Notesnook vs ColorNote Comments

    While Notesnook is great at taking notes, it doesn't yet have the checklist features that ColorNote has. For example, ColorNote can create a checklist, auto-sort the checklist, batch check or uncheck all items in the checklist, search for an item in the checklist, etc. Notesnook can only add check boxes into a regular note to create a "task". Of course, Notesnook can do so many other things too, but for checklists, ColorNote is still ahead.
