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 like Notion nowadays! Syncs seamlessly between mobile and my laptop!

Obsidian is my go-to. First I take notes on a notepad or on my phone, but I transfer them to Obisidian as soon as I can.

@luka_vasic what's your workflow look like? Currently learning Obsidian and I feel like it's too much to transition from Notion to Obsidian. Any advice how to overcome this?

@ejgy I'm still new to it and I'm learning through youtube mostly, but my advice is to just start and not worry about making it perfect. Especially if you already have formed notes in Notion, you already have a great starting point. For my workflow. I consume a lot of content and I have 2 note types (Content, Fleeting). Every time I get an idea I keep it in fleeting notes, and while consuming content, I try to recall what I learned and write it in Content notes, later on I expand it. I'm always looking at new ways to connect notes and often come back to old notes to add more to them. Here's a great illustration of a workflow that I'm striving to create: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-...

Google docs. Nothing can really beat it.

Have tried out Notion, Obsidian and even OneNote but they were quite robust for my personal use. So I just use Google keep simple and effective. p.s Have you seen the meme where everyone in the beginning use apple notes and then go explore complex note taking and productivity apps and at the end just use apple notes xD

Evernote is the favorite tool for many people because of its versatile features and ability to easily sync across devices. It can be used for taking notes, compiling research materials, creating a digital scrapbook, and more. Additionally, it offers annotation capabilities that help you track your thoughts and ideas as you work on projects. Evernote also has a search feature that makes finding specific information quick and easy.

I've used different ones but still haven't found the perfect one...

After using Notion & Roam, I found out that that I need something more visual in nature. In any case, no app has all bases covered. I am currently using Caduceus, but have also used evernote and Obsidian in the past which I found them to be very useful.

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.

My personal library is Notion.so. Currently exploring Obsidian to build a searchable knowledge base for all of my ideas.

The pre-installed notes app on ios & macOS. Simple and has no distracting features.

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)

On PC I use sticky notes.

I use Lark, it's not a note-taking tool but can do the job. would grab Lark message as my note, it's super convenient
