I am glad you find helpful ideas.

yes, Notebooks is another simple, but effective application.  I have tried it a few years ago when looking to simple, but effective apps. I even liked it better than Keep It at the time. If I remember correctly it also has internal task management capabilities. What made me to decide against it was the inability to create rtf files. That was a deal breaker to be because I like RTF format a lot.
- I especially would like to write in black and blue colors: and because I want to avoid plagiarism.

When I am reading articles, I write in normal black colors when I am quoting or paraphrasing the author; and write in blue when I am adding my won reflections and ideas. I can directly copy those blue texts; but need to be careful with the black ones. That has been with me forever. Emulating this into Markdown turn to be difficult. (and the other format was html, if I remember; i don’t like that format because no other app (text edit) can easily edit it).

So, I just stick with rtf.
I decided to go with Keep it. Otherwise, they are very similar; and both are capable apps. The transparent storing of the notes is a great quality of both apps.
