Guest • Apr 2020 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Better interface and privacy with the same functionality of OneNote elu • Apr 2020 Disagree Agree Same structure as Onenote, supports images, looks modern. Doesn't have all the same features (like drawing on the screen) but also has its own unique features Onenote doesn't have. Also runs on Linux, which is the biggest plus for me. dasonic • Mar 2020 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Free Open Source Mac Windows Linux Android iPhone ...

Zim 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... Zim is more like simplenote, or a desktop wiki. It is missing most of the functionality of onenote. Guest • Sep 2018 • 21 agrees and 7 disagrees Disagree Agree Zim is essentially a desktop wiki. Searching of notes is great and there are lots of plugins, e.g. you can have latex equations included, R-plots, gnuplots, along with pictures etc.; syncing is via cloud storage such as dropbox. It is available across platforms but as a linux desktop user I find it particular useful. Guest • Apr 2020 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Wonderful. Every file is a .txt file, so you're in total control. LordMax • May 2018 • 17 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree GUI is pretty different, plus as mentioned by other people. Most functionality isn't the same. Also, looks like smth from the age of Win'98. Guest • Dec 2019 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Local, Wysiwyg, drag and drop, Quicknote, Webcite-function. Guest • Feb 2018 • 8 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree It's better because It saves your notes in your system not in cloud, plus it also have a great to-do system. easy to use satsaeid • Sep 2018 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Small, light, well-features and easy to use but I only use it for short notes.

Evernote Evernote is a cross-platform, freemium app designed for note taking, organizing, and archiving. The app allows users to create a "note" which can be a piece... It is far and away lacking many features of onenote, most noticeably the ability to have sections and subsections of notes in binders. Making it not good for keeping ORGANIZED notes. Guest • Oct 2016 • 80 agrees and 24 disagrees Disagree Agree The possibility of inserting sections is missing. Guest • Sep 2018 • 18 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Evernote is clunky, overwhelming, and slow. It has a lot of cool features that used to be relatively unique, but it's grown stagnant. Also the mobile version is pretty buggy. aquanovus8 • Nov 2019 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Evernote's handwriting is seriously lacking.

Guest • Jun 2019 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree No insert latex formulas in document Guest • Oct 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It doesn't allow nearly as much editing options, the organization is crappy, it's overly simplified whereas OneNote is feature-rich and almost perfect, it's just such an ugly interface...

Simplenote Made by the company behind WordPress, Simplenote is an easy way to keep notes, lists, ideas, and more. Your notes stay updated across all your devices. It doesnt feature writing with a pen on screen. (Wacom etc.) Guest • May 2017 • 36 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Simplenote is great for super simple plaintext notetaking but it only has one feature in common with OneNote which is syncing. Not an alternative Guest • Dec 2017 • 20 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree You can't embed images or clip from the web. Deal breaker. jhensley • Oct 2017 • 25 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree It is more akin to Apple's iNotes, albeit a little less feature rich (No sketches, folders, etc.). In terms of functionality, Simplenote and iNotes is not a viable alternative to OneNote. Guest • Mar 2020 Disagree Agree No support for web clippings. No separation of Notebooks. Really not like OneNote at all Guest • May 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Simplenote is more similar to Notepad than Onenote. It's basically a plain text editor that lets you store your notes online. Some of the very basic features of OneNote can be approximated, such as inclusion of images, links and text formatting, but it requires learning markdown, which is extremely cumbersome to use and time consuming to learn. Simplenote has only rudimentary organization and search features. Better than Notepad. Not even close to Outlook. Guest • Jun 2019 • 2 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree I tried it on my chromebook nad as a extension it does not allow to have more than one file, everything is in the same file. This may not be the case with another os but for the one I have this is not an alternative. That's not to say it is not good if that is what you're looking for, It does what it does well.

Notion With so many tools, it's hard to keep everyone on the same page. Notion is a new tool that unifies them all. It's like Google Docs, but everything is... Biggest feature of Onenote is drawing & typing everywhere, which Notion doesn't support. Notion is good to store highly structured data, while Onenote is more like a digital paper. Guest • Mar 2020 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Notion is aesthetic, powerful and highly flexible. You can mix different types of contents within one page. Markdown formatting for texts. Sub-pages for wiki-like or hierarchical organization. Databases for a of lot data; a database comes with multiple possible views and you can choose the one that best suits your data. rongmu • Jul 2019 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree infinite nesting, cross platform, powerful edting and embed tools Guest • Jul 2019 Disagree Agree Better visualization and flexible organization.

Standard Notes Standard Notes is a simple and private notes app. It allows you to write and sync your notes across all your devices, including your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and web browser. ... The free version is only plain text editing - can't even paste images or use bold and italics. There simply aren't enough features in the free one to determine whether I like it enough to pay for premium. Guest • Aug 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Extremely feature-light.

Google Keep Google Keep has several features including color coding notes, inserting images, creating lists, geo-fencing, shareable notes, and search by color. I love Keep, but it's not anywhere near as detailed as OneNote. Keep is basically for making sticky notes, which is helpful, but OneNote has way more features. I know a lot of students, as well as myself, who use OneNote for taking school notes. You can draw, add tags to notes, and add formattings, such as fonts, colors, bullets, and number lists. You can even draw on top of things you type. You can't any of that in Google Keep. Guest • Nov 2017 • 54 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Google Keep is basically a digital sticky note application the syncs to your google account Guest • Apr 2019 • 14 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree It lacks too many options compared to onenote. Keep is much more simpler. Guest • May 2019 • 9 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Can't even do indented text and bullet lists, just a simple sticky note app really. Guest • Jan 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Onenote allows hierarchy of notebooks, folders, notes. Much more useful than Evernote Guest • Jan 2017 • 28 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree Agree Keep is like sticky notes which is completely different from Onenote Guest • Mar 2020 Disagree Agree OneNote allows for multiple notebooks on different topics, which in turn consist of multiple pages, which can all be colour coded. GoogleKeep is the best app for making sticky notes, but it just doesn't compare. Guest • May 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Keep is great for separate notes/lists/etc. kept one at a time - but nothing nested. OneNote allows sub folders which makes for more organizing capabilities. Also within a single page of OneNote you can have multiple "boxes" of text/pictures/etc. Guest • Dec 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It's too lightweight and lacks many features compared to OneNote. Guest • Sep 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Keep is a sticker board while OneNote is a full notebook.
