I need the ability to both type and maybe do some freehand writing or adding in sketches. I don’t have the need for the latter yet but could see it happening. 

I need to be able to sync it between devices on two different AppleIDs. This will be shared between my personal iPhone and my work MBP. 

I need a good way to organize the notes. Folders by subject. Subfolders by... whatever. Multiple layers of this would be great. 

Being able to photograph to a scanned document would be nice as well. 

Here’s what I’ve tried so far...

I’m currently using iOS Notes for this purpose.

But my notes are only on my MBP and I can’t see them on my phone. Plus it doesn’t have the capability for images or drawing. 

I’ve used Microsoft OneNote.

It has two layers of organization (groups and folders) but doesn’t go beyond that. It has the ability to add images and freehanding but not a lot of freedom with what you do with that once it’s in there. But I can access on multiple devices because it’s easy to login. 

I used Evernote back in the day.

However, I never really did a good job of playing with all its levels of complexity. It seems to have a lot of freedom to do things but that $5/month cost is pretty ridiculous. And the reviews of its most recent iOS iterations are scathing. People rave about the desktop and hate hate hate the phone version. 

Any other suggestions?
