Zealous Notes is a (zealous) alternative to the standard Notes app. Give it a shot; tell me what you think of it.

Here's the blurb:
It has familiar Notes app features, including:
On iPhone & iPad:
• Inline PDF documents.
• Speech Recognition.
• Markup Mode.
• Apple Spotlight Search integration.
iPad:
• Handwriting Recognition ( via Apple Pencil).
• Edit notes side-by-side.
…and zealous features, including:
• Stack related notes on top of each other, as either:
• a permanent bundle of linked notes, or.
• a transient #hashtag reference.
• Link notes to your Calendar events (by permission only!).
• Toggle Header & List options inline with your text.
• Subdivide your notes into sections, to ease editing of your notes' related ideas.
• optionally, each with its own undo-redo memory.
• Draggable Controls.
…and more!

Zealous Notes will never mine, manipulate, or abscond with any of your data.

** for the curious: 'Zealous Notes' builds upon its ancestor app — 'Text & Markup'.
