Feeling very overwhelmed with needing to use separate apps for note-taking and reminders to stay organised. Please share any versatile android and windows apps that can provide notes and reminder options in 1, free or paid!

The only one I need is Roam (https://roamresearch.com). Easily solves the constant problem of my notes being silo'ed (boo folders!) and not easily searchable.

I don't know if it is the type of tool you are looking for, but I personally use Trello to take notes and get organised. You can also set reminders by adding them on your calendar.

We developed a product that incorporate both Notes and Tasks in one space. Not sure what exact use case you need something for, but it might be worth a look :) https://rock.so/notes & https://rock.so/tasks One of our aims is to reduce the # of apps you used to organize yourself, so we merged everything in one space! It's also has a free forever version :) Super curious what you are looking for and whether this helped, let me know!

Moo.do or Workflowy for notes and tasks (I like outliners). Moodo also has reminders, though I sometimes set them in google calendar as backup

@ruchira_08 My fav is Apple Notes! It's simple, flawless, easy-to-fine, write and read and it's just a plain note that has been working very well and really good fit to my own use. And, it's free! It's just like a Moleskine note. I tried all different kind of notes out there from evernote to some sophisticated paid apps but I always returned to the original Apple Notes. If you haven't used it and if you are on the Apple ecosystem, I recommend you to try it out. (I'm not an Apple fanatic. I do have Android phone and Windows computer.) I haven't found any reminder that I like so far. If you find anything good - please share with me!

@edward_park_ I agree with apple notes! Personally I think Microsoft One Note is also pretty decent for managing your notes across different platforms
