Though you can save notes and search them later by name, but that’s pretty much it in the basic account. Grammarly being essentially a proofreading app, it has no special features for note-taking. Also, you can integrate it with mainstream browsers, native apps for Windows and macOS, Google Docs, and MS Word and Outlook. You can sync your account with five different devices, and there’s a huge 150K word limit for notes.

The notes that you save as displayed as tiles on your homepage from where you can either delete or download them. The app allows you to save notes in your account and even upload documents from your computer. If you’re already using Grammarly for proofreading, you might as well use it for note-taking too.

Grammarly is hailed as one of the most useful tools for proofreading and grammar-checking. Typora is free, with no paid/subscription plans. Other than that, it is a perfect minimal editor that can double as a note-taking app.

Also, I’d really like to see a mobile version for iOS and Android. The app also eliminates the need of a preview window and gives you a live preview instead.Īs Typora is essentially a markdown app, there are not many advanced features of a note-taking tool like collaborative editing and direct sharing with a group or team. Typora’s best feature is its intuitive formatting of text that allows you to see the word count, focus mode and typewriter mode of editing as well as code editor-type auto-pairing of brackets, quotes, and markdown symbols. It allows you to organize your files, sync your data with cloud services, import and export files in multiple formats, and use any of the cool themes for your notes. However, it can be equally useful as a note-taking app. Typora is basically a markdown editor with a bundle of editing and annotation features. OneNote is free, with no paid/subscription plans. If you can live with the absence of these features, then OneNote would be your best choice. There’s a lack of formatting features for the notes, several people cannot edit the same document simultaneously, and the spectrum of integrated apps is not very vast. On one hand, as OneNote is simple and easy to use, it does come off as too basic for some of its features. You can also collaborate with your team, group, or students and share notes. Moreover, you can sync your notes on different devices and various other apps. One-note is best for people who avoid too many complex or fancy features. Other features include To-do tags, audio recording, single-click web content saving, and many more. You can manage your notes and documents in different categories or Notebooks and further arrange them into sections and pages (something we’re already familiar with).

Note-taking app from Microsoft, OneNote is a simple app without many bells and whistles.
