Why bother looking for another note-taking app when there’s a perfectly good one built into macOS?
For the same reason you might use a different email client or web browser. While Apple’s Notes has become a very good note-taking app, it’s not perfect. Take a look at the others here and you’ll see that Bear isn’t just beautiful, but has so many of the features you’d find in a writing tool, you can use it as one. Agenda organises notes by date and enables you to create and share projects, while Evernote’s web clipping tool is a class apart from the one in Notes.
Notability takes a different approach in that it focuses on creating notes using multiple media. Sure, you can type notes, but you can also record audio and sync it with your notes, annotate a PDF and deliver a presentation.
