Note-taking apps are a solid addition to any productivity suite and can do wonders for your information-storing capabilities. The purpose of note-taking is to ensure that you can capture the essence of a set of information so that you are not burdened with memorizing everything words by word. What is your go-to tool for note-making? Mine is Apple notes, especially after the new update! πŸš€

I've always used Apple notes, but recently I've started using Notion to keep everything in one place.

I switched from Bear to Craft. It’s quirky but I’m overall enjoying it.

@chrismessina I'll surely checkout Craft. πŸš€Currently using Notion for work. But was looking out for some alternatives.πŸ™Œ I would love to share our micro learning platform - KoolStories. I'd really be grateful if you could spare out some time and share your feedback. 😊https://www.producthunt.com/post...

There's something very no frills and quick about Apple notes that keeps me using it, its the classic product that needs no marketing but addictive for adoption.

Hot take: A lot of people over-index on note-taking apps. For me, Apple Notes gets the job done.

While Notion is great, I love the simplicity and speed of Taskade. Some great updates in the last few months.

For really small notes, I use things like blankslate, google keep, and then sometimes for larger things Workflowy. (I don't like the latter's pricing though)

It depends on the use case. I have been using apple notes since 2014, so I am locked in. It is the go-to tool with an apple pencil if you sketch a lot. But in terms of note search, Evernote is miles ahead where you can search images, say something which you think is in the note, and the AI finds it, etc. Dropbox documents are also an excellent tool because you can directly transform a note into a collaborative template. But Notion is by far the best note-take app in terms of functionality. Dynamic databases have destroyed about 100 start-ups and are a game changer. You can search fast, link notes, transform databases in calendars, do boards, etc. The notion is straightforward to learn. When I did my second university study entrepreneurship, I used Notion. To this day, I use Notion for research and apple notes for brain farts.

Notion. I like the flexibility to have a simple or advanced setup depending on your use-case.

I like basic colored sticky notes, both on PC and on mobile. ColorNote on mobile, Microsoft's Sticky Notes on PC. Might have to give Obsidian a spin, though.
Lodovico Sella
@xgrv Colors make it less stressful! πŸ˜… Same here, will try ObsidianπŸ™Œ

Google Keep - for todo list, app ideas and other notes. I like its Android widget, it lets me quickly view my recent notes.

@swatinavalkar That's great. πŸ™Œ

Currently on Notion. Won't be exploring for a while. Else it will be an overkill
Lodovico Sella
@sanat_mohanty Definitely! work at your own pace. πŸ™Œ

Drafts for quick capture, plaintext, and all sorts of scripted text conversions. Tana for storage, organization, and recall. It's like if Roam Research and Notion had a baby.
Lodovico Sella
@tombielecki Haha, will check that out! πŸ™Œ
