A focused place to explore desktop note capture and notebook organization, with Markdown and sync choices to review.
Reviewed workflow
Native desktop personal notebook and note capture/editing. No custom database, plugin or server is needed for this documented local flow. Markdown and optional sync require separate learning/setup; this is not Notion database, team-workspace or migration parity.
Trade-offs to consider
Compare personal notebook/Markdown notes. Migration and multi-device synchronization need separate setup; paid Cloud services have plan limits. No complete Notion database or team-workspace parity is established.

Free core desktop notes; optional paid Joplin Cloud synchronization and sharing plans have separate limits.
A desktop painting option for an illustration-focused workflow. Check the reviewed raster scope and file-exchange limits.
Reviewed workflow
Desktop raster layers, painting and basic image adjustment only. Krita is reviewed primarily for illustration and digital painting, not comprehensive photographic retouching. PSD and text/layer semantics need review. No guarantee of full Photoshop, print-production, automation, AI or team-workflow parity.
Trade-offs to consider
Krita specializes in digital painting rather than complete Photoshop image manipulation. Layer compositing, text and filters can differ. Its manual documents PSD loading/saving with supported elements but warns against assuming complete compatibility; review exchanged files.
