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! 🚀

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-...
I like Notion nowadays! Syncs seamlessly between mobile and my laptop!
Paper and pen are always the best
I like Notion
For me is Notion, it's the best.
Google docs. Nothing can really beat it.
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 favorite tool for taking notes is Notability on iPad for visual notes, such as diagrams. Notion for text heavy notes, loving the ability to add hyperlinks to connect things. And Apple Notes for quick notes as it feels like too much work to open Notion and create a new page.

For now I use notability and default notes app.
I'm actually building a todo app and might add notes later on but right now it's a nice to have feature for the future
Notes from Apple.
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.
Good old Google docs 👍
I switched from Bear to Craft. It’s quirky but I’m overall enjoying it.
@chrismessina I'll surely checkout Craft. 🚀Currently using Notion for work. But was looking out for some alternatives.🙌 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...
Notion (personal favorite)
Sticky Notes
Evernote for everything!
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
Paper and pen🫣
