Craft
Native document editor for Mac and iOS with beautiful formatting and real-time collaboration.
Overview
Craft is a native document editor for Mac and iOS with beautiful formatting and real-time collaboration. It handles native app, markdown, ai assist, and sharing, and it's best suited for apple users who want beautiful native docs. It has been around since 2020, giving it a 6-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free for 1000 blocks — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits. It's aimed at individual users, so it's fast to set up but may lack team-management features if you scale.
Strengths
- Includes Native App as a core feature, purpose-built for note taking workflows
- Full Markdown support with live preview for clean, structured notes
- Free for 1000 blocks — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done
- Includes ai assist alongside the core feature set — fewer separate tools needed
Weaknesses
- Free plan exists but key features are locked behind the paid upgrade
- Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
- Moving notes out to another platform can be difficult — export options vary
- Limited team/admin features if your organization eventually scales up
