Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?

All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.

    I recently got a tablet with pen support and have this same question. I’m specifically looking for something that’s on Android and Windows/web. So far, I’ve been using OneNote but I wish it had standard folders instead of notebooks and pages.

        I looked into this a bit today and it looks like the handwriting support, even with some plugins, is not great.

          Ah, fair enough. I’ve never had to consider that. Thanks for looking into it at my word and for the feedback.

          Good luck on your search.

            Thanks for your suggestion! There’s a lot to like with Obsidian. Nebo seems promising, but it would be $18 for Windows and Android licenses. Not the end of the world, but $10 seems more reasonable for all platforms.

      Besides Obsidian which someone else suggested, there’s also https://silverbullet.md/ which is an open source self-hosted plain text note taking app, it’s a PWA so if you expose it via https you can “install” it in your Android.
