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!

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.

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.

I just discovered this Inspire software… I just discovered this Inspire software and it’s really great! a unique program of its kind because I have been looking for a long time for software capable of listing texts in a simple way while having a multitude of possibilities to enhance these texts with images or annotations which allow you to find them at a glance. eye a written with disconcerting ease. What I like most are the import and export options with a wide choice of formats that help with the task. Huge time saving when importing an entire file (word for example) containing several texts. And I must add that the automatic recording of each entry allows you to free your mind and devote yourself fully to your productions without worrying about mishandling which could lead to loss of data. In addition, Inspire has a clear interface, backups do not take up much space even if you create several hundred sheets. The file tree panel is very practical because it allows you to switch from one folder to another and move sheets just by copying and pasting. The integrated and fast search engine instantly displays results for keywords or phrases contained in the sheets. Practical, light, easy to access and without frills (compared to other software that I will not mention :-)) without having to be a computer expert and being sure to find your notes or texts very quickly are the best elements of this program. Thank you for successfully creating a real library tool for writing enthusiasts like me!

I've been using this app for two years… I've been using this app for two years now and I love it :). I use it both for specific projects (blog posts, reviews, articles) and to gather ideas and small loose texts that I wouldn't know how to archive if I used other heavier programs like Word. I especially like it for first drafts, where I can write quickly, without having to dwell on formatting or presentation details. Once I have finished the first draft, I export to Word, for example, and finalise the details there; but for the first draft, Inspire is my first choice.
