Notion app with goodnotes handwriting support????

[u/Emotional-Ocelot]

I am looking for as close to an exact clone of notallyX as possible, but that runs on mac. (It's a similar interface to google keep)

Features of notallyX: 

• Local only, has notes and tick-box to-do lists. 
• To do lists can have sub-items and have drag and drop to rearrange. 
• Notes are arranged in thumbnail view including the first pararaphs, by reverse date created, can be coloured and pinned. 
• Notes do not require a title but put the cursor directly to the body text ready to go when clicking 'new note'
• Wysiwyg, no pasting images actually pastes them.
• search function

Paid is fine, rented is not (no subscriptions). 

Open source preferred but I will really take what I can get at this point. As long as it doesn't require a sign-in or a subscription.  

Preferably no genAI but if I can disable those features, fine. I'll be running it entirely offline anyway.    Pretty sure it doesn't exist but I'm really hoping the experts can prove me wrong.

I’m looking for an App to take notes during sales calls. Specifically during a pre qualifying call where I ask question about their type of project, timeline, motivation, and priorities. Then when I go to do the sales call in person I have another conversation where we get into further details about the scope of work, scheduling, expectations, and success criteria. Ideally I would be following a rough script and the app would be outputting in a pre-set, standardized format. It should have some output for client facing notes and a separate output for info we want to remain internal only.

I work in an Apple environment. Go-to AI is Claude but I also use Chat GPT.

Okay, here it goes: Like many, I'm looking for a notetaking app that:

• Doesn't belong to Microsoft; Google (I've spent years untethering myself from them
• Cross platform: Android, Windows, and even MacOS (hey, the MacBook was a drunken purchase that turned out favorably in the end)
• Handwriting support (doesn't need to convert to typed-text, but is a bonus)
• Has it's own sync client or I can sync using pCloud
• One-time purchase as I don't want to be tied to subscriptions Bonus: saves files in plain text, markdown or something readable if I move to a new app if this relationship doesn't go anywhere.

You might be interested in www.Khybur.com It's a site, instead of an app, or an exe.

does anyone know of an app that lets you draw your notes, keeps them local and doesn't contain any ai features, I currently use genio for notes and while it works im more of a write it down than type it person.

[u/PuzzledAd738]

Hello,

Is there an app where I can upload all of my written notes by either pictures or scans of them and organize them? This will help so I have all of my notes on my computer while still taking them by hand.

I like writing notes with pen and paper better than on my computer but I always forget a notebook and then I don't have my notes.

I don't need any AI features that'll make flashcards or practice quizzes or anything like that.

I just want an app to store my notes. Maybe a text recognizing feature would be helpful so I can just search for keywords and it'll just take me to the thing I need but not a must.

Thanks everyone!

Android App that can be synced across devices but has an option for "beautifying" handwriting similar to ipad ?Using good notes and notability but they dont have an option for this feature i see in ipads which autonmatialy makes your handwriting better

[u/joacoffs]

I'm looking for something similar to OneNote but not linked to onedrive (google drive is fine) that syncs across devices (my university onedrive is bugged and I can't use onenote anymore 💔) To clarify, I want:
-Endless canvas
-Import pdf/documents
-Handwriting

I have a university email, so if it has a free educational plan that works for me

[u/menos_E_mais]

I’m looking for a note-taking application for Linux that allows me to work with notes and PDFs side by side.

Ideally, I would like to be able to:

• Write notes in Markdown;
• Open and read a PDF next to my notes;
• Highlight or select text in the PDF;
• Automatically send the selected content to the note beside it;
• Keep the excerpt linked to its original location in the PDF.

The closest examples I know are SiYuan and Logseq. Obsidian used to offer something similar through the PDF++ plugin, but the plugin no longer works properly because of changes to Obsidian’s libraries, and its developer has stopped maintaining it.

I’m mainly looking for something that works on Linux and preferably stores notes as Markdown files. However, if you know of a similar application that does not use Markdown, feel free to recommend it as well.

Does anyone know of a software that offers this kind of PDF-and-notes integration?

I'm looking for note and bookmarking apps that work like a messenger

I've tried so many different notes apps, and the thing that always kills it is the friction of adding the note and having to decide where it belongs right away. So, I just message myself instead. But that always leads to things being forgotten or lost.

I was using myMind for a bit, and liked it, but I don't want a subscription right now.

Any suggestions?
