    Alternative to OneNote

    Hey, I have been using OneNote for taking handwritten note using stylus on my PC, it is decent. But its UX awful for me, I feel that app’s UI is too cluttered for me with too many options in it. So, I’m looking for an note taking that allows me to take handwritten note, audio recording, internal linking, and also typing.

    Thank you.

                I researched about it, it allows handwriting but with a plugin, but it is very poor, not meeting the expectations that I’m looking for. You use Obsidian? I have found it useless.

                    No, I don’t use it.

                    There are 2 other choices I listed. Click the links to take a look.

                    The reason I want you to look at the suggestions? You know what you want, I don’t.

                    You have the specific needs in your mind, I’d only be guessing therefore I provide links based on what you asked. You click the links and research to see which ones fit your specific needs.

                        Hey, thank you for your valuable suggestions, actually I have looked at all the apps that you have mentioned above, in which nebo looks good to me. I have liked the handwriting to typing feature, but I don’t think it offers any feature to record the audio. While researching on nebo, I have gone through another app notability, it looks promising to me and it offers the option to record the audio. So, I will try both apps for a few days then I will decide.
