Although upon connection inspection, it seems like it doesn't have any unusual activity. I just blocked its inbound and outbound connections on my Macbook. So far have ended up using Marginnote and sticking to it. I'm considering getting Liquidtext for my Windows desktop, but well I already have the Macbook. So far I have the same use cases as you, however I do have a Macbook. If you're really a fond of mind-mapping, just export a screenshot of it into your notability document. This ensures that your final notes are autosynced, they're not taking up a huge amount of space & you'll be safe even if your LT/MN malfunctions. Then use a note taking app like Notability to make the actual notes. So, I only use LT to read, annotate and digest the basic ideas of the academic papers. They make terribly large files, & have really shitty backup functions. But both of them suck at being a note taking app. You get to really have a 'paperlike' reading experience.

Keep in mind that both of these apps are pdf readers. Although, I agree that the excerpt function works & looks better in MN. I like to handwrite questions/equations in the canvas as I go through a document, & I've found that MN is simply not the best app for it.

I have the paid version of Liquid Text, I've only tried the free marginnote & I didn't like it. I suppose the experience varies greatly depending on the subject you're studying, but I'll just tell you my personal experience, you then decide if it's useful for your case. Then just revise at the end.Īny thoughts on this would be great thanks! And I do tend to excerpt and highlight a lot when reading. I already spent the entire day working out this conundrum haha.Īctually I thought that it seems like making a lot of notes on such is faster on either Marginnote or LiquidText since excerpting is where they're both good at.

Notion side by side since I'm usually on my Mac these days anyway :))) Although I still would like the convenience of having the iPad.

So far I'm just WiFi transferring files to my iPad as I wish to do so.Ī little more frustration on this and I'll switch back to using Adobe Reader and a notes app, e.g. And then with LiquidText, well just open file with LiquidText from Mendeley. I planned to do iCloud sync on the iPad, but users say its buggy. So far, my workflow is putting things in Mendeley on my Macbook, then use the same Menedeley pdf folder as Marginnote does so everything's inside marginnote already. However, I'm also thinking if maybe this linear notebook style thing can be done in Marginnote as well by simply just not making things into mindmaps, but arranging loose 'excerpts' that are not grouped, and not as mindmaps. I suppose I was still looking for that 'linear' notebook style. So I tried LiquidText for this, and things just made more sense. Thing is, I bought LiquidText first, and since I was studying textbooks then, when I tried out Marginnote it seemed to be better of being read in Marginnote especially due to space considerations, review mode, and for building linear concepts.īut then I read research papers on Marginnote, but things just seem so weird or harder to understand when things get either grouped automatically or in mindmap form in Marginnote somehow. Am considering getting LiquidText on Mac as well I have the pro versions of LiquidText and Marginnote on the iPad, and so far the pro version of Marginnote on Mac. So far, been testing out both on Desktop and iPad.
