0@gaive_glodenyte Great✌️
@qudsia_ali I think it allows a lot of freedom in terms of sketching/drawing and adding other different elements to help structure the notes :)
Apple Notes and Notion

@jan_beisheim Thank you for the suggestion, I will check it out.
I find Apple notes the most convenient, but maybe that's just because it's right there on my dashboard.
My friend (and I) use a program called Idenati to keep track of passwords, etc. He loves their notes feature. Might be worth a try 🤙

@paul_vanzandt For mac, apple notes are good. But I am looking for my windows laptop. Thank you for your suggestion on ''Idenati''. I will try it.
I would sometimes have e-notes on my laptop and multiple phones (work and personal). But when the time comes, I don't have my notes with me because it is either on my laptop or my other phone. So, I created a simple e-notes cloud app with categories to go along with another app I created, to-do lists, to reference the e-notes with, if needed.
I will be launching these apps soon in ProductHunt at https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

@reyalteedotcom This is something extraordinary, Best of luck with your Launch. I will keep an eye on it.
@qudsia_ali Thank you.
Post-it notes to keep important info in front of me.
SideNotes for Mac for catching all these little things throughout the day. (snippets, screenshots, shortcuts, links, quotes, ...)
Apple Notes for everything else.
@qudsia_ali Cool.
I started using my first mac with sidenotes installed. I can't imagine working without this app. It's easy getable and I use it many times a day.

@peter_agar Good for windows.
For quick notes I’ll use the apple notes but if I am taking meeting notes I’ll make a Notion document

@pablo_fatas Nice. Thank you for sharing.
@qudsia_ali Happy to help ;)
Notion and ReSkript! :) Notion is great but lacks a good editable and exportable document editor.

@martina_hackbartt, I have not used ReSkript. Thank you for suggesting it. I will try it.

Notion! It's the only app where I feel the notes won't get lost, and they are mine. Used to use a moleskine for years when I worked as an architect.

Would also say the desktop app makes a massive difference here. I probably would use Apple notes if there wasn't a Notion desktop app.

@jamesstirrat Notion is an excellent app as I can use it on my windows and mac laptops.

I like to take my raw notes on something minimal like TextEdit(I am using a mac). Once my thoughts are out of my mind then I copy it to where they will be stored permanently mostly (Notion). I like to keep it that way because I don't want grammar and syntax to be pointed at me straight away. Raw, doesn't have to be perfect but out of your mind and the real work can then begin 😉

@arunpariyar Great suggestion. I Completely agree with you on your point that raw should not be perfect.
Definitely Notion!

@joannakurylo Both are great Tools. Thank you for sharing
I use an e-ink tablet called Remarkable. I used to carry around a Leuchtturm1917 but it was difficult to get information out of a paper notebook and into my other tools.
It's been an absolute game changer for me.
I handwrite messages on my Remarkable (which actually makes the pencil sound) and then email things out to Roam Research, Trello, etc.
If you are considering a Remarkable, here's a $40-off link. (Full disclosure, this works like Dropbox so I also get a kickback.): https://remarkable.com/referral/...

@laurenproctor32 Hand taking notes is the best form to jot down all ideas in the way they came.
I use Notion whenever I have lots of stuff in mind, but I still do take notes on my phone and notepad/post-it notes.

@adriel_cruz A mix of different thing works for you, that is great.
I love to use Google Keep Notes. It's just simple, minimalistic. It saves automatically and it's got some cool background colours or designs (when I feel like using one).

@gideon_bcxa I completely agree. Especially for android and windows users it is perfect.
