In my case, I've recently switched to using Trilium Notes which ALMOST meets my needs, but I still need OneNote as well for sketch-based notes for the time being.
Personally I find Apple Notes the most convenient for quick jotting down of ideas etc. It’s not the most advanced in terms of features but it loads instantly, is quick to use and is available on all of my devices. Have tried numerous alternatives but they’ve never stuck e.g. they’re slow to start up or are fussy to use or don’t work well on one platform. For deeper sketching out of ideas, diagrams etc I really like C…
The best thing about Apple notes is that I can dictate while I am hiking. The problem is that it seems to require >2 bars of service, which is a rarity when I actually need it.
"Note Taking" is the wrong approach, imho. You are responsible for putting things in and keeping it up to date, and of course this is prone to fatigue. An automatic knowledge base that is created from the signals you already generate anyway would serve you the best, I think. This is what I'm building with https://histre.com/
Nothing else has come close for me and it’s free.
Samuel Suresh's YouTube video titled "How I Take Notes with My iPad Pro in Lectures" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0ql-yeY9u0 ) makes some pretty good points for taking handwritten notes on a device. Akkshaya Varkhedi says in the article a couple downsides to handwriting notes on paper are: 1. Can't add screenshots, images, links, etc. 2. can't easily search for content. Using something like Goodnotes addresses…

How do you backup Apple Notes? The PDF export loses fidelity. I really like AN for the integrated camera, esp the document scanner. Is there another application that allows for writing as well as annotating media, video, photos and sound?
I write a lot when designing software, but hate paper, so I ordered reMarkable 2, which I expect to change my note-taking habits completely. I plan to write everything into it.
I use a paper A5 atom notebook. You can easily rip out pages and rearrange them. I mostly use it for quick todos, db relation schemas and writing down some logic. I do take some notes with Apples Notes but I periodically clean them out. I don't see the benefit in keeping old notes. If a project is done the notes are also deleted / trashed. Why do people keep their 5 year old notes anyway? From a IT programming perspe…
