Why

- 1
No export loop
You do not export a note just to sketch on it, then export again to put a number in a sheet.
- 2
The week in the library
The week sits next to the work, so a plan and the page it belongs to stay in the same library.
- 3
Attachments stay attached
Scans, recordings, and drawings stay attached to the note you were already writing.
- 4
Local first, real files out
The files stay on your Mac. When you need to hand something over, you export a real file.
