Question What Note-Taking software do you use?

[Chigwells]

For years I've been using OneNote 2007 for all my notes and ideas.Despite its age, I preferred that as works offline, doesn't try to get my data up onto MS Cloud.



However, I knew that need to change, so have been looking around for modern Note -Taking software to replace it.

I'm loving Obsidian, incredible update in note-taking abilities



and recently I discovered Logseq. Also fabulous

What do you use to take all your notes, and why?

I don't take a lot of notes but for the few times that I do, pen and paper is good enough.

For mobile device, I use Samsung Note because it works really well with S-Pen and Microsoft Outlook. OneNote is also a good option for my laptop.

Standard Notes and Sticky Notes. Sticky Notes is basically a lighter version of One Notes.

Google Keep and Notes (IOS) So easy to capture everything with GK extension. For my basic needs, those apps are good for me.

Sticky Notes
The big advantage is that you don't have to consciously save it. Since it stands out on the desktop, there is less risk of losing it.
....However, sticky notes on real desks are often lost. Mystery.

Yes I use joplin on my phone.

I see we are not such avid note takers here, no-one into Personal Knowledge Management or 2nd Brain?

Couple of examples:

Cherrytree hierarchical note taking software. Great for documenting just about anything IT related. Works well for pentesting plan and result documentation.
