Best Note-Taking Software - Page 7

Nana Serwah Nkrahene
NSN
Researched and written by Nana Serwah Nkrahene

Note-taking software enables users to take down notes or thoughts in a text format. These tools are similar to document creation software but are intended for short-form documents. Many note-taking management solutions will provide helpful functionality such as list creation and the ability to cross off entries or checkboxes. Other tools simulate a physical pen and paper and allow users to write out their notes as opposed to typing them.

The best note-taking software provides an easily accessible space for users to quickly write down their thoughts, plans, or other information. These spaces are intended to be personal and less formal, allowing users to focus on the key information they need to remember rather than its format. While some collaboration software like employee intranet software will offer a note-taking feature in their product, most note-taking management options are standalone tools. These versions of the software often provide integration with other tools like internal communications software or calendar software. This allows users to easily share notes with teammates, if necessary, or align notes with specific dates or engagements.

To qualify for inclusion in the Note-Taking Management category, a product must:

Create editable, text-based documents
Allow users to create and store multiple notes
Provide limited functionality for lists, such as entry cross-off or check boxes
Offer collaborative note-taking tools or note sharing
