And if there is a migration tool from onenote to the alternative that would be even better.
I personally enjoy Joplin as my FOSS note-taking app.
I’ll throw out there that Emacs
org-modeis an incredibly robust solution for this, although it may be a bit overkill for your needs (and may send you down an Emacs rabbit hole).At least for me, it’s gotten to the point that my entire life can be summarized in a giant pile of
*.orgfiles. I highly recommend it@NightOwl As already said, not foss, but obsidian is a really good option. I moved away from Onenot and Notion, and all my files are local in markdown.
I use Obsidian. It is simple and easy to use but very feature filled. It uses Markdown and stores files locally.
Standard Notes is pretty great
I really like Trilium. It’s basically a FOSS Obsidian. It does not have a phone app but the web interface is mobile-friendly.
Xournal++ is the most similar in intention I believe.
I personally use a combination of logseq (FOSS) and obsidian (not FOSS, freemium I think). Obsidian is currently better on the tablet due to some particularly well put together plugins and a recent feature update but I’d like to move completely to logseq long term. However, if you’re looking for a touch centric experience it’s hard to deny that obsidian is the best in the ecosystem.
Of those options which would you recommend for a desktop user where majority of interfacing will be with keyboard and mouse? Particularly if I’m looking to migrate over lot of data from onenote to it.
I used Joplin and now use Notesnook. At the time I switched because Notesnook had better support for tables, Joplin sucked for taking some stuff out of Onenote that had tables.
I am going to try out Trilium in comparison to Obsidian as a next thing. Currently I have stuff scattered in Onenote, Joplin, and Notesnook so I guess it’s a sign that none fully hit the mark.
This is old now, but I recently found Zettlr and I am liking it so far. It has better navigation than Notesnook and very easy to use. I like the way it renders markdown without having to switch between a read or edit type of view like Joplin.
