Two features missing in Keep

I am on iOS, but use Windows and Gmail at work. I am comparing Keep to Bear notes. What Bear does that Keep could do better are the following:

  1. Better search - both global and within a specific note. Highlight the result and step through the results.
  2. Folding headers within a note. This is a must for me. Many other apps do this and do it well. Toggle headers allow me to see only what I need while working in a note.
  3. Markdown in general is a great way to format notes.

Keep is quick and accessible everywhere which is one of its greatest features.

What other similar apps are people recommending?

I just use Keep for note keeping and also making some reminders, which i would usually want to just remove as soon as they have alerted me. I have the occasional reoccurring ones to.

I would like an app that's pretty basic, it doesn't have to be a huge app that does tons of other stuff too.

I might then just remove calendar and keep after I have transferred everything over.

Are there any that you can import your notes as well?

Copy in mobile version not matching desktop.

When I write notes in desktop, I do hard returns and add spacing so I can see the line items better. When I open the mobile version it just jumbles everything up I to one continuous paragraph without any spacing....

Everything here is supposed to be stacked with an extra line space between each copy. This hasn't been fixed at all and it's been a few months.

Pasted text

I'm not concerned by most of Keep's many compromises. However one thing that frequently irks me is how if I copy & paste a complex answer from Gemini, it ends up as one huge blob of text with no space AT ALL between what was paragraph breaks; and needs a lot of work to make it presentable at all. I thought Apple notes stripped formatting but when I paste there the layout remains basically as originally presented. Am expecting a stern "no", but is there *any* workaround? I'm not expecting rich formatting, just at least line breaks!

custom-set reminder times, previously found in settings as I recall

is this just a feature that went away with an update some time ago? I remember I had the setting, and I would set custom reminder times for quick note-taking but it has vanished

​

i would set my default morning reminder time to be when I would leave for work, the middle time for when I'd get off of work in case there was something I needed to do on my way or right after work in case I forgot, and the last one for stuff I needed to do after I'd gotten home

​

it was so nice, it was perfect really so lovely

​

is there a simple, preferably smaller ad-free app that has this feature? I don't need a lot, really just simple stuff like reminders and notes and stuff

​

not sure if this kind of post is really welcome here, I thought to put it in a rant sub but I figured I'd come here in case anyone would relate or point me in the right direction to something I might need
