![]() ![]() With so many apps to consider-and so many apps claiming to be notes apps-I had some pretty strict criteria for what made an app worthy of this list.įirst, the best note-taking software has to be good at what it claims to do. If your favorite app isn't on the list, feel free to shout at me. For example, while I love text-heavy notes apps with support for Markdown (which shouldn't really be a surprise), I recognize that other people are looking for different things. I've done my best to leave my preferences out of the decision-making process here. Even after 10 years, I'm still fine-tuning the system I use. Note taking is something I have opinions about. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog.Īs a tech writer, I've been taking notes and reviewing software every day for over a decade. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. Microsoft OneNote for a free note-taking appĪll of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. Here are the best note-taking apps I could find. As a rule, if an app supports video calls out of the box, it's not a notes app.Įven with all these criteria in place, I still tested close to 40 different note apps for taking notes online. There are some great super-niche notes apps designed for fiction writers or developers, but they aren't fit for most people, so weren't in consideration for a place on this list. Similarly, there are lots of powerful business collaboration tools that claim to be notes apps but just aren't suitable for one person. I also only really considered general-purpose personal note-taking apps. If there is not a very special hardware running on the PCs, I would really consider the change.So for this list, I didn't look at every app that could be used to take notes or even every business collaboration tool that claimed it was a notes app-I was only interested in apps that were explicitly designed to be notes apps. If you run a small network, I would probably wait with the major updates every 6 months until the usual places in the web signal they are safe to install. Win10 is smooth, does not really eat into resources and able to execute older 32bit apps. The only modifications we made were in total 200€/$: A SSD as main drive, and another 8GB of RAM. It is running better with Win10 than it did with Win 7 ! We run Win10 on a 2012 HP i7, that was delivered with Win7. Maybe plan ahead, and replace 2 machines every year. ![]() On the other hand what you buy today should be able to run Win11 in the future. To buy new hardware there could be better moments than just now - chips are short, hard drives are expensive. Gigabit-Ethernet sounds like fast, but in fact it is only 110MB/s, and less in real life. ![]() And did you ever perform a restore ? I did, from my NAS where my backups are stored, and it took quite some time just to get a single workstation back to normal. If 8 people have to wait because everything was taken down by a ransomware, plus your customers do the same, it may not really come cheap. Backups are fine, but you still would loose some data and time until you can restore. ![]()
