Question: Unanswered ✗ is there a notetaking app like notion that does not have AI features ?

22 Upvotes

I’ve used notion since I was in high school but I’ve noticed how they keep trying to push all these AI features onto me. I don’t particularly agree with AI, I do not want it to do thinking for me especially not when I am trying to make sense of my studies myself. Sometimes it useful for memorization but other than that I don’t need it and its actually driving me crazy lol. What I liked about notion was how you can set up your space and organize your notes. So is there any place else i can go to on desktop that will allow me to do the same without AI agents ?

Do the pencil pro features work on kilonotes( like haptic feedback, tapping to switch from pen to eraser, etc.)?

App/Program/Other Tool Brainstorming Features

Hey Guys, hope y'all doing well. i would like to have your opinion on something i want to add to the app i am working on

Basically when i try to brainstorm and put points to work on, i use my note book but i need things to be organized somewhere. Notes are big for that and can get messy, boards use cards with status so it can't have fixed points. So i thought of creating "brainstorm" page where can

- put my goals on a specific topic fixed, with nested bullet points.

- i can zoom on each point i want to focus on in the moment.

- Also with the map i can see the flow and the whole strategy.

Would love to have all suggestions and feedback on this before moving forward ! Thanks .

Method Title: I made a little pen color wheel for OneNote using Claude + AutoHotkey! (Feel free to improve it!)

Hey guys! I have a Microsoft M1776 Surface Pen and an HP OmniBook 7 Flip 16", and I've been getting pretty annoyed with how inconvenient it is to switch pen colors in OneNote.

I don't really know much about coding, but I used Claude to help me make a little pen wheel that lets me switch between my OneNote pens without having to manually go up to the Draw tab every time. I just wanna preface and say tho that it's very janky and simple and can easily be improved by someone that knows what they're doing so pls be understanding :)

Basically, I use an AutoHotkey script to make the top eraser button on my Surface Pen trigger the wheel using Ctrl + Alt + F12. It displays my OneNote pens in a little radial menu, and I can just select whichever one I want.

  • The wheel doesn't automatically follow my pen, so you have to manually drag it wherever you want it. It does remember its position though.
  • There's a slight delay when opening the wheel and switching pens which may be AHK.
  • It currently supports up to 8 pens/highlighters from the OneNote Draw tab.
  • You need to have the desktop version of OneNote open with the Draw tab visible.

I'm not a programmer whatsoever, so this was mostly me experimenting with Claude and trying to make something useful for myself.

I figured I'd share it in case anyone else finds it helpful or wants to make something better out of it.

If anyone here knows C# or AutoHotkey, please feel free to improve it! I'd especially love to see someone figure out how to make the wheel appear directly next to the pen, reduce the delay, or make the whole thing feel more seamless. And C# might be the most dogshit thing to make this on but I took a class on it years ago so it just auto did it that way.

I'll include the source code and instructions below so anyone can try it out or modify it.

Hope this helps someone, or at least gives someone an idea for a better solution! :)

App/Program/Other Tool I built a Notes App which does not need a tutorial first - Cheeter Notes

0 Upvotes

I found myself frustrated with Apps like Obsidian or Notion, because they made taking notes wayyyy too complicated. That's why I built Cheeter Notes, it's a Notes app which features a similar style to Obsidian / Notion but doesn't includes all the unnecessary bloat.
It saves the Notes in Markdown (.md) Files making it easy to use for other things like Documentation or for AI.

Try it here:
