nvALT is a lightweight, macOS-only Markdown note-taking app that excels in simplicity and speed, but lacks cloud syncing and mobile support. In contrast, Laverna is a cross-platform application with advanced features like task management and encryption, making it suitable for users who require more robust functionality.
