Great alternative to Evernote but no mobile app I've been searching for Evernote alternatives for years, and I've tried Notion(offline not supported), Simplenote(images not supported, and no folder organisation), OneNote, Nimbus Note, etc, then I came across Inspire. First impression is that I like the interface a lot. It is similar to the Apple Mail interface, and the dark mode colour is not completely black like Evernote. And there is a lot of colour to the Inspire formatting. The headings are light blue, and the bullet points are orange, for example. I wish the developer would breathe colour into the icons on the sidebar as well, but as of writing this, the icons are all greyscale and dull. One drawback of Inspire is that there is only desktop version for Mac and Windows, and there is no mobile android or iOS app that would give a seamless experience to go anywhere. I work mostly in desktop environment, and I carry my laptop everywhere, but there are moments when I want to quickly look up my notes on my phone. Also, I am used to markdown formating of using single *bold* for making bold on WordPress with EditorsKit plug-in. Inspire uses double **bold** and make the bolded characters orange, which makes me use extra keystrokes, and the editor does not hide the formatting at all after typing, leaving the #, *, _ and so on visible in the editor. Single *bold* does not give me bold; it gives me italics instead. I could not find any option to toggle on/off the formatting, nor could I find a way to customise the markup input or colour. So it’s not going to be easy just copy/pasting into Gutenberg Editor, or publishing directly from Inspire to WordPress because of the conflicts with markup. Inspire organises notes under Library(we can only one library) and groups(comparable to notebooks in Evernote), and there is one default group called ‘Inbox’. It comes empty, and there is no explanation at all about what it is. I cannot rename the ‘Inbox’ to something else, unlike the ‘Introduction’ group which has tutorial guide on how to use Inspire. Evernote does not make it easy to export my data out to import into Inspire, but Inspire does have import option of word docx and html pages. I haven't tried migrating my data from Evernote yet, but I am more pleased by Inspire than by other note-taking programs that I've come across before. The program feels light and not bloated compared to other competing note-taking apps. The drawback of there being no mobile app is the point of convenience that can hold back some from adopting Inspire into their workflow.

it's simple and enough I tried it because windows is my working OS, so after search some review and introduction, I decide to try it. after three to four days, I think it will be the important tool for my work. I use it wrote about 4000 word in 2 day. it's impossible before. the dark mode and teletype mode is excellent. the markdown is very simple, easy to type in and for a draft, it is enough. i can paste picture in the article, no need to link a URL. if I need arrange the group or level, it is not so complex, but enough, maybe somebody need more detail. but it is okay for me. I think the best environment to write a paper before deadline is : a blank room with a chair, desk, a computer with inspire, and have music you like, keep phone silent. simple is important when you need focus on the target. just type in the keynote, like a mind storming, use the headline as the paragraph topic, list the topic adjust the order, fill with detail, then dump as a word doc file. INSPIRE give the enough function, not too much , but enough. you can work with it without learning hours.

Developers dealt really well with feedback When I first downloaded the app, I noticed it could really use some improvements. I send them an email, explaining what the issues where. It was weekend, but I got a reply within the hour, and only a couple days later they had fixed the application and added the features I requested. I send them another mail with some other suggestions I had. They also addressed those and stayed in touch, notifying me when an update with an improvement was released. I wish more companies would deal so well with feedback!

Highly recommended tool Inspire writer is one the best tools a writer or a blogger can use. The clean minimal user interface helps me focus on getting words out of my head and onto the paper. It has a really simple and user-friendly interface . Once I installed, there's an thorough introduction, like a welcome note, the feature introduction and guideline to write down . Then I can start writing with no distractions! Using the writer is fairly simple, and there are lots of tutorials available on YouTube. The recent introduction of splash screen is just an icing on the cake. I used this writer when I gave my laptop for repair and was using my friends laptop to write my essay's. Another thing I found very practical is Inspire supports syncing data between your Inspire and Dropbox or Google Drive. I have tried many other writing software before, but this one is far and away the simplest I ever tried. Previously I was just using a regular word processor with tons of chunk, so naturally I liked the minimal UI as soon as I started writing. I highly recommend this writer and hope that the developers maintain this high of a standard! PS: It has a Dark Mode. I mean what more do you want?

Writing between Windows and Obsidian with Inspire Writer I was looking for a very simple Markdown writer app as a fiction writer. I have recently taken up the Obsidian notetaking app, and enjoyed learning Markdown with that. I wanted a simple but speedy writing app to take over the complexity of Scrivener. I can write in Obsidian but there are still many issues - tables in particularly are difficult in Obsidian's markdown format. After trialling Inspire Writer for 7 days free trial I was overjoyed to find that I could simply map to my Obsidian notes folder on my PC, and writing in both has real time saves. Write a new note in Inspire Writer, and it appears immediately in Obsidian. Inspire Writer adds some additional benefits - tables and footnotes are really easy with a popup box to input into. Much easier than even Obsidian's Advanced Tables plugin. Inspire lets me tag files (called sheets) with inhouse tags also (not affecting my metadata tags inside of Obsidian) which I use for other purposes. Inspire publishes to Medium and Wordpress also, a huge bonus for blog posts. The only downside to Inspire is its image view and insert functionality. Inspire only deals with external images (hosted on the web, so only URLs). Obsidian holds images inside the Obsidian folders for copy/pasted/dragged images. Inside of Inspire the same note.md file only shows the Obsidian URL for this internal image, and does not show the image. The ease of doing markdown tables and writing quickly when drafting made me take the purchase option for Inspire Writer.
