    One Note is overkill and more of an alternative the likes of Evernote.

    It's quite similar to native Notes, and it is rich in functionality.

  3. Zim icon

    Zim brings the concept of a wiki to your desktop. Store information, link pages and edit with WYSISYG markup or directly typing some lightweight markup syntax and see it previewed as-you-type. Creating a new page is easy by either clicking on the "Create new note"...
