Another option is a new app called Routine, which combines task tracking and notes. It is free (for now)

It obviously doesn’t have the track record of Amplenote, so there is a measure of risk involved, but I get the feeling Routine is here to stay.

Mind you, this isn’t an endorsement, as I have only dabbled with it. But I remain intrigued.
