Is there any alternative to OneNote? Every other note taking app I’ve seen dosent allow pen input, and for Xournal++ it dosent have all the organisation stuff and bulk exporting
Thanks for your suggestions!
Have you tried saber?
https://github.com/saber-notes/saber/wiki/install
I only use it on Android so I’m not sure if Linux has the same capabilities, but it’s similar to xournal++ but with more of a focus on building up a library of notes rather than marking up PDFs.
Obsidian is a great alternative. A plugin called obsidian_ink is actively attempting to replicate the OneNote experience (and is quite successful in my opinion).
The other plugin I’ve found very useful is called Hamdwriting and has a lot of online support (including videos by its dev).
Obsidian is proprietary software.
Yes it is.
Joplin, I also self host my server and sync between my devices.
Joplin’s hand drawing is horrible.
Aside from basic stuff like a ruler and backgrounds missing, it’s force recognition is made so it makes the whole line thicker, and once its thick it does not become thin once I don’t press on it anymore
Also, PDF imports are missing, and the integration of handwriting into the note itself is very poor (just a link with a PNG render)
How has no one mentioned Rnote ?
It has good drawing, selection and other stuff with an infinite canvas while being pretty configurable.Yeah Rnote definitely comes closest to OneNote, in the Linux/FOSS space.
