What are some apps like Apple Notes, but with LaTeX support?
Edit. I end up using Dropbox Paper for my note management tool. The original answer is at the bottom.
Here’s the list of my needs:
- supports LaTeX and MarkDown
- hierarchically searchable
- sharable or at least presentable to others
- free
Dropbox Paper fulfills all the requirements. What’s better is that most of you already have an account with Dropbox. It’s now my favorite note tool.
I’ve tried two apps: Boostnote and Quiver. Both support MarkDown and LaTeX mode. Both apps offer essentially the same functionalities.
Some pros and cons are as below:
Boostnote
pros
- It’s free.
- It has “code snippets” type note; You can write multiple code snippets and combine them in one note. The only use case for me is to gather all the LaTeX templates in one place.
cons
- Sometime the split pane view does not sync to each other
- Sharing a note with others who don’t use this program is difficult.
- Presentation view is not intuitive especially with toggle options.
Quiver
pros
- Team collaboration is available. Though it depends on other file sharing apps such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
- Aesthetically, better than Boostnote.
cons
- It’s not free ($9.99)
- It’s “cell” (block of writing)-based editor, so you have to decide a cell type (text, code, markdown, latex, diagram) each time you start writing. (I just start with markdown type and write the entire note in markdown mode.)
- Sharing a note with others who don’t use this program is difficult. (same issue)
Still, I think both are great apps to work with.
