Obsidian is great if you like plain text and linking ideas. But it also needs discipline. No app fixes unclear thinking. Choose a tool you will review weekly, not just dump notes into forever.

I tried Notion, Apple Notes and Google Docs, but everything becomes messy after a month. What note app actually stays usable?
AI Summary
People discuss note-taking apps and systems that stay organized instead of becoming a messy digital archive.
Answers & Discussion
Notion is powerful if you keep it boring. One inbox, a few databases and regular cleanup. If you keep downloading templates, it becomes a hobby instead of a tool.
Apple Notes works because it is simple. The problem with Notion for me was overbuilding systems instead of taking notes. A basic folder structure and search are enough for most people.
