1. AmpleNote
One of the new more traditional tools on the market, AmpleNote looks very much similar to Evernote from a glance, but packs away bi-directional linking and a "task score" ability that helps you rank the importance of your tasks.
2. Craft Documents
Probably one of the faster growing personal note-taking tools is Craft. Craft allows you to take collaborative documents, with cards being the killer feature. Create pages, areas and your own workspaces out of cards and much like Notion — you have yourself a mini-wiki workspace for your docs/notes.
3. Spaces
More a writing application, but favoured by many as good balance between the two. Spaces allows you to write in markdown and organize using hashtags, much like Bear Notes, but for writers needing focus, they have a "focus mode" to keep you in the zone.
4. RemNote
Perfect for students and academics looking to get into bi-directional linking. RemNote comes as a great package for study and research notes, with a powerful flashcard function to help you remember notes using space repetition methodology.
5. Supernotes
Another student focused tool, but a collaborative note-taker this time with some note-linking ability, the power in Supernotes is their well made app, beautiful design and the ability to note-take together in a workspace, ideal for collecting study flashcards and notes.
6. Walling
Collecting ideas is hard, because most of the time they don't actually make much sense. Walling aim to solve this by allowing you to collect, manage, to "wall" your ideas and to build projects that involve action and collaboration
7. Nimbus Note
This is very similar to Evernote, but packs some nice features that many users like — the web clipper for snapping all types of media, more focus on security, and an exciting focus on their roadmap and future.
8. Obsidian
Obsidian is one of the most talked about bi-directional linking applications right now, much like Roam Research — it packs a punch allowing folks to create and connect notes and a host more. Obsidian is preffered by many due to the free pricing versus Roam's $15 pricing.

9. Bundled Notes
Very visual note-taking, this is designed more for personal users. But comes with kanban boards for notes, cross platform and markdown — a real combination of some modern productivity tools.
10. Standard
Privacy focused Standard is one of the most stable, secure note-takers on the market. With a 5-year pricing plan, Standard packs plenty of punch with the ability to add extensions — editor, themes, features in their premium plan.
