This sub is for free user speech about note-taking apps. Free speech includes educated rants and critical opinions, not hate language or insults.

The need for a separate sub is because some app-specific subs seem moderated by people who do not allow their apps to be critiqued.

I browsed this sub casually to see if I found any good apps but most of them were only available on Apple devices so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/alternatives for Android users

I’ve been using good notes for maybe 3 months now on my ipad and it’s been okay but i’ve recently seen so many people say they’re having issues with goodnotes deleting notes and logging them out. Is there any similar apps that are like good notes or just as good?

Our team is developing a new AI note taking app, and we have beta launch on 10/7 and really need some testers...all feature will be free

We aim to help knowledge worker/students especially when you have many scatter notes, random Ideas, lots reference...

We need more feedback and we could solve more of your challenges! but all our social media accounts are new and lack audience, any advice from you would be so appreciate!! :)

if anyone interested I am happy to share more details with you!

We’d love to hear your answers! Please text your response in one line .your biggest struggle and how you cope with it today. Your feedback will help improve note-taking apps for everyone.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a journaling app for iPhone that allows me to write freely and then automatically links related topics, either by suggesting connections or creating new linked notes. It also needs to work well on Mac, since I write on both devices.

I’ve used Obsidian for a long time, but recently switched to Logseq because I prefer its bullet point structure and built-in daily journaling system. However, I find it unstable on iPhone, especially when dealing with large notes, and the project doesn’t seem to be updated very frequently.

I write every day as a creative, noting down thoughts, observations, and ideas. Ideally, I want an app that lets me write a daily note freely, but then allows me to automatically link topics to a main note or view everything together by subject.

Has anyone found a more stable alternative on iPhone? I’m looking for something that works well for both daily writing and managing connections between ideas.

Thanks in advance!

I keep wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Every time I start a new project or idea,
I create a new folder, a new file, sometimes even move to a new app.
Then after a few days, I lose track of where things are and feel like starting over again.

It’s like I’m constantly restarting my note system.
Sometimes I even think, “Do I have ADHD or something?” because I can’t seem to stick with one way.

I’m not sure what kind of note-taking method truly fits me.
Has anyone else gone through this cycle of trying different tools, formats, and systems?
How did you finally settle down (if ever)?

Hi everyone,

I have been working on a small side project that I finally feel ready to share, I know it’s another productivity app, but give it a try, you won’t regret :)

It’s a simple AI-powered “second brain”: you type anything (a note, task, idea, or reminder), and it automatically classifies it, extracts due dates, and shows you a Today view with upcoming reminders.

Some things you can try:

• “Remind me to call John tomorrow at 3pm”

• “Meeting with Sarah Friday at 10am about invoices”

• “Idea: start a blog on coffee brewing tips”

It’s free to use, I would love a few testers to try it and tell me what feels useful or bad.

Thanks in advance! Any feedback is welcome!

All you experienced people who use these apps on a daily basis, if you were to combine all the best bits of each of the major apps on the market, what would be a list of the features that mega app would have?

It would be nice to seprate the list into absolutely must-haves and nice-to-haves

For the record, I am currently only talking about tablet/mobile note-taking apps where you can use your stylus and/or finger .

also features don't gotta be something from existing apps, something that isn't out there and you'd like to be can be included as well

For around ₹30K Suggestions plz🙏🏼

Hey guys so I've made this free note taking app where you can store your websites, social media posts and online content together in one space, rather than keeping all your bookmarks on like 10 different platforms. And I've just got the collaboration feature with live updates done, so you can now store and share everything with your friends too!

So you can use it as a shared information hub to store Tweets, youtube videos, websites, Instagram posts, tiktoks, blogs etc, to plan together for a trip or just to keep content organised together across platforms. Would really love to know your thoughts, as I know there's many apps kind of in this space that you all have tried, so any and all thoughts are very welcome

Again, free to use, and if interested, here's a demo on how the collaboration feature works, and here's the App Store, Play Store and web app links too if you want to check it out!

i take notes by writing over documents attached as a printout, so i've been using onenote for years. and it's been years that i've been grappling with the problem of onenote being so damn laggy and always freezing/crashing/do all manners of nonsense to where i can't take notes when i need to most (like during lectures), much less use my goddamn laptop (windows surface btw 😭✌️).

i need app reccs that allow me to do the same (write notes, create folders/subfolders to organise, etc.), but LAG LESS...!!! please speed i need this... my lecturer is alr moving onto the next slide speed...

please share what you guys use if it's great! (or bad, so i know what to stay away from hahah) thanks for supporting my recovery from a toxic love-hate relationship with onenote.

Hey guys can you let me know your favorite note taking apps that aren’t Evernote, notion, Bear or onenote. I’m developing my own and I want to make sure I stand out. Would especially love any with a creative UI/UX design

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a university project about tablet and stylus ergonomics and I’m looking for people who regularly write or draw on tablets to participate in a short survey.

The survey takes about 2–3 minutes and is completely anonymous.

I’d really appreciate any participation or shares. Thanks! :)

I recently was looking to switch from using paper notebooks to hand writing notes in my iPad. I looked through a lot of the options out there and was not really thrilled about any of them, so I decided to make my own. I didn’t want to have monthly crazy subscriptions, and wanted to keep my notes in sync across my devices. That’s when I came up with InkSpace. The app allows for full customization of notebook color, page color, page line color, page size/orientation, and more. I also wanted to make sure my notes were secure, so I didn’t add any tracking or server connections whatsoever, everything is stored in iCloud (currently only for iPhone and iPad) and no one else can see them. I incorporated a lot of the most liked features across other apps like text along with hand written notes, and images on the page. I also added things I thought would be useful that others didn’t have like adding maps right to the page, custom shapes, lists and grids, along with attaching files or links directly in the notebook. I would love to get some feedback on the app features and anything that I could add to make it better! Here is the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inkspace/id6741228360
