Thinktype works a lot like notational velocity (write and search at the same time), but it's actually even easoer because it doesn't have titles. You can write the entire note from the searchfield. (I'm comparing it to a web app inspired by notational velocity here[1], never used the original because I don't have a mac.) [1]: https://notational.co/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
