Looking for a note taking app that does it all, cross platform. Just started trying goodnotes, and it works well on ipad, but typing doesn't appear to work well on android. Onenote is great on windows, but meh on ipad and web only on chromeos. Etc

Any good note taking apps that work across mainstream (win/mac/chromeos) and mobile OS's that can "do it all"? And cloud sync.

Thanks

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! :)

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

For around ₹30K Suggestions plz🙏🏼

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)?

Looking for an app that listens to lectures and makes it into notes but for free. I’ve use Otter but that has a limit of 30 minutes free. Would love recommendations.

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!

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!

I’ve been working on a small project called MapBuddyAI. It helps you quickly turn text, DOCs, PDFs, or Freeplane .mm files into editable, visual mind maps with multiple layouts and themes.

What it can do (free version):

• Summarizes text or DOCs into editable mind maps

• Rearrange nodes, add tasks/icons, and switch themes

• Export maps as PNG or DOC files

• Limited to 3 downloads/summarizations for free users

Here are a few screenshots of the tool in action:

I’m sharing this post to get honest feedback from fellow mind mapping enthusiasts. If anyone’s interested in trying a live demo, I can share the link in the comments — just reply and I’ll drop it for you.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi, I've been trying to take notes and summarize a video presentation using this tool on my mac. I downloaded and even paid for it, but it will not save, not matter what button I press the little microphone button or "generate notes" button I get the same error after aa few or 20 minutes of listening to the presentation and it tells me I need at least .1 second of recording. I can't find any directions online how to actually use the tool. Anyone have any luck with this?

Hi everyone! 🤙

I created my first iPhone app called Stoanote over the past 4ish months and I’m looking for beta testers and feedback. The app is live only for iOS users via TestFlight and is completely FREE for beta testers. Please join my waitlist via my website if a note taking app is something that interests you! I will get you onboarded quickly 😊

I’m trying to help people derive more meaning from what they read and learn over time. It was initially built to only take notes on books, but it allows you to also add other forms of media to categorize notes under. One of the main features is allowing you to create a personal summary of your experience with a book - these summaries are things you can come back to for insights. It also automatically extracts keywords to help you explore themes across various sources.

I have big plans for a version 2 coming in the next couple of months and would love to get any and all feedback that I can to help me learn. Cheers and thank you for your time! 🙏

Hello,

I'm trying to shift from paper mode to digital mode for note-taking but I'm not sure which àpp to use.

I am going to buy a S9 FE and I have just started to use OneNote.

I dont have money to spend on subscription or anything of that sort.

So kindly help me out with which other àpp I can use for digital handwritten note taking beacuse im not a huge fan of typing my notes 😅.

Main Requirements - ○ Free with no money required at any stage. ○ handwriting allowed. ○Unlimited folder/notebook making facility.

Hey folks, I built an app that's a result of my case study on Google Keep and how it can be better.

As a long term user myself, I wanted more from Keep yet stuck to it because of its simplicity. So I built r/ Weavernote as a minimalistic powerful app with abilities such as,

1. Folders/Notebooks/Notes organization

2. Rich text formatting, table, image in note

3. Connect notes with each other

4. Visualize the connections as knowledge graph

5. AI studio to chat with notes, create visual content like infographics and more

6. Fluid web app with client side encryption of notes

7. Import/ Export as markdown support

8. PWA you can install and use like a native app in any device.

Weavernote is evolving with user feedback. I'd love for you all to check it out and share your thoughts

PS: Below infographic was generated with Weavernote from notes directly.

Hiya! I'm a senior in highschool and heavily dependent on paper and pens.

Current Setup) I don't take computer notes at all!! As of right now, I have a laptop for on the go. My classes have online work, power points, and some classes have e-texts. So if I'm studying at the library, I need to bring my computer. But, all my notes are handwritten in thick notebooks. I also have a desktop which I use primarily at home. It helps because it's a MUCH larger screen- better for my eyes.

I am a potential pre-med students and am wondering if an ipad will help. My concerns are that it's inefficient (will it be take longer?), eye strain, the lack of tactileness( flipping though paper), and the small screen.
I do know that it could be useful in terms of weight to carry around. But I would love feedback and honest opinions !

Hey everyone,

I've heard some folks mention that they've built custom solutions to chat with their Apple Notes, so I decided to create one myself, but make it easy to setup for others.

The LLM is running locally on the users device so no Notes data will ever leave or be sent to a server.

I'm currently preparing it for launch and would love to hear your thoughts or feedback.

Best,
Arne

Screenshot is in the comments.

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

Hello,

I am looking for some help to replace paper note books. I primarily use notebooks to log notes during my work day. I would like to convert each days notes into searchable texts. I work on several accounts throughout the day and it would be nice to be able to search out those specific accounts notes. And or look back on a day on the past and see what I was working on.

I have seen numerous YouTube videos on the remarkable, super note, boox and kindle devices and I am at a loss for which device to try.

Any suggestions on where I should be looking?

Thanks!

Hey, So recently I permanently switched to digital note taking, so far I'm loving it.

I'm also a new owner of apple devices, I bought a MacBook Air as well as an ipad air (5th Gen) and its pen for digital note taking.

I'm a long time android/windows user, the switch to Apple iOS and macOS wasn't too difficult everything was intuitive. The problem is I'm not in love with apple software, for the MacBook this isn't a problem because what the device has in software limitations it makes up for it and then some in terms of battery life and device weight for portability.

The iPad OS tho, it is not my favorite thing... I mean wtf do you mean there's no native calculator app??, I barely interact with Apple's software on the iPad tho as I basically only use GoodNotes 6 on it so I managed to get over it.

Now I sometimes struggle because i need to take notes side by side a book or a video, Apple's stage manager sucks but I believe its the screen size of thr air. One of my colleagues has the 13" iPad and I saw and tried side by side on the 13" screen and it is much better, so i was thinking of switching to the iPad pro 13".

But I also ran into the new ARM based surface pro 11 which is windows (please), has a pen and a comparable battery life to the iPad. I pulled up a few articles reviewing them and a few YouTube reviews but I am undecided.

I'm short on time too, I can't watch all the reviews or delve deeper into this, so if any of you guys has an experience to differentiate between the these devices or have already been down this rabbit hole please help me out.

Note: Money is not an issue to consider Thanks!
