UpNote continues to improve

That's good to hear. There's a whole class of Mac/iOS notes apps that don't handle pdfs at all. SnipNotes, good as it is, bizarrely 'accepts' a pdf attachment but merely imports the first page as a jp...

Looks nice, but aside from the Windows and Android support it resembles a half dozen free and cheap non-subscription apps in the Apple ecosystem, including Apple Notes.
For example I think SnipNotes ...

Hm, I think you’re talking about the older Mac Minis –
No I'm not. The current minis have two USB-A ports on them, and Thunderbolt 3.

Didn't get to finish, sorry. Yes, if you're not on an Apple device it's only accessible via the web app. But it's free for anyone who has or sets up a free iCloud account, and easy to play with.
