I am not satisfied with the choices on Mac (I've tried every single one). Ditto on Windows is better.

Extremely worth the money. In my view, it blows Visual Studio Code out of the water. (I actually often work on my _blog_ in an IDE. It makes it much easier to move files without breaking links, run the Jekyll server, and more.)

I've also tried Flameshot and Monosnap. I used to also use Screenotate for optical character recognition (OCR), but OCR is built into Shottr so I no longer use Screenotate.

There are many good ones. Typora is relatively close to WYSIWYG in a well-executed way. If I want more of a plain-text experience, I use SublimeText or an IDE.

Ugly and has ads, but gets the job done, and importantly works offline. If you don't need it to work offline I recommend https://mynoise.net/
