Do you use notetaking apps? Which one would you suggest and why? 🙏🏼

I have been using pen and paper mostly, because I like just being able to use all the space freely. But recently I ordered an iPad, so wanted to try this with the Pen. Considering that I'll also switch all my notetaking, from my computer too, which would be the best option?

!Relanote In the plethora of note-taking apps, I prefer clean design, security and sharing features. Just the right set of features for me!

@stanislav_dim I prefer a mix of Relanote and paper notes. Relanote is really handy when you need to share a network of interlinked notes.

Hey @baris_bingol I use Notion, but I agree with @omar_lotfi1 that it's sometimes overhead. So when I need something really quick, I use build-in Notes – it's has some new little features in Big Sur. For example, when you put a check-box and check it, it goes down the list, which is quite nice.

@baris_bingol @omar_lotfi1 @filipp_chumak but what I would really appreciate is taking notes with my Apple Watch when I start speaking. The watch will translate it to text and then send it to every app I connected to it.

@baris_bingol @omar_lotfi1 @filipp_chumak totally agree, I'm still wondering why Apple is refusing to implement such a feature.

@baris_bingol @omar_lotfi1 @filipp_chumak I don't have an apple watch, but if i had one i'm pretty sure i'd be wanting the same feature!

Don't use Google Keep, use anything else. hated that.

@anil_asim_bilen been using Keep for YEARS and I love it, soooo 🤔

@anil_asim_bilen Hello Anil, not sure why you hate Google Keep, perhaps you could try Qinaps. Its a hybrid where one can take notes and assemble documents. The user can be an individual or a team. Since all the content is stored in blocks, they are flexible and don't follow the files and folders principle. Information is not locked in folders rather the blocks form a knowledgebase. Any block can be used repeatedly to create as many documents without the fear of duplication or redundancy!

I use Notion but it might be overkill depending on your needs. I recommend you checkout Bear if you are in the Apple ecosystem.

@omarlotfi Both of these look really useful! I'll try them out, thank you.
Elen Udovichenko
@omarlotfi wow, might want to check out Bear too - looks so good!

I use Notion, but not happy with some things. Performance is sometimes bad! Some quick notes are taking to much time in this way. Looking for another app with similar functionalities, but working smarter/quicker.. On the other hand. Notion is great for setting up a team-wide documentation system which is open and ready for collaboration.
Nilova
@simonblok Hello perhaps you could try a new application, I use Qinaps. I found Notion too bulky for smaller teams too and so we built Qinaps for taking quick notes. The Notes appear in the form of a spatial map which lets you precisely chose each element where you want to take your note/write up.

@simonblok @nilovapande Have heard similar things about Notion from friends, seems like a hit or miss. I'll check out Qinaps, as Nilova suggested. Thank you both!
Nilova
@simonblok @nilovapande @baris_bingol Notion is more of a Team wiki notes+project management for an entire team, whereas Qinaps is more of a text editor where you may write freely stuff like smaller docs, blog content, entire business plans and break it down into several smaller docs .. The best part being you don't need to worry about index / Table of contents, every paragraph could be a flexible component which you may pick and chose to form your final document through a customiser. Its a lot like a Pivot table but for documents.

I use RemNote for about 4 month now and I'm absolutely delighted. Before I tried a bunch of markdown apps, Trilium and Notion, but they did not fit me. RemNote's WYSIWYG outline editor allows me to output my thoughts with minimal friction. Backlinks help discover related ideas (before I was basically just collecting dead notes). And if I choose to remember something I can directly add it to its builtin spaced repetition system.

@hannes_frank First time i've heard of RemNote but seems really interesting! Thank you for your suggestion, will definitely check it out!

I use evernote for quite sometime and it helps me a lot. I don't use an iPad and a pen so I don't need those features. The free version only allows for 2 devices but it works
Barış Bingöl
@ceyhun_aslan So i heard! Will check it out. Thanks!
Jordan Christley
Evernote. I see others have elaborated already, but, yeah; evernote.
Barış Bingöl
@jsonnakamoto Yeah, i will probably start using Evernote now, seems like the perfect fit.

Keep :)
Barış Bingöl
@elen_u Keep is always good, i use it on my phone regularly. But for some reason i only ever use it for personal notes, never for work related stuff. Weird...
Elen Udovichenko
@baris_bingol I currently have 2 accounts - one for personal notes and the other for work related stuff. However, Keep didn't work out well for me with planning and task management - I eventually adopted iPlan (which is a very basic planner app but I love it!)

I use Apple Notes. It is fantastic. I also like Noted on ios for notes related to an audio recording.
Barış Bingöl
@hunter_peress Apple's Notes app is pretty good overall but for some reason, it doesn't feel "productive" enough for me. Not sure why!

@hunter_peress Thanks for the mention!
