Personalize your notebook with a collection of hand-designed notebook covers or simply add any image of your choosing by dragging and dropping it on a notebook. You can also change the color of your notes to stay organized and stylish.
Known limitation: it seems that the exported HTML files contain the creation and modification date for the notebook only, and not for the note itself, so the note creation and update dates are lost when exporting the notes from Zoho.
Currently, you can share and publish notebooks but there is no way to save the content to your local PC. In my conversations with the Zoho team, I've been told that this capability is on the roadmap and I expect that, give the pace with which this company rolls out new features, it won't be too long before this shows up.
Once you open a notebook page, you can start typing in the content of your notes in it, which can be as long as you wish. You should be familiar with using the type of text editor present on the app. But, the options for formatting text are pretty limited. You can only change the style (Bold, Italicize, Underline, Strike-through, and Background Color). You can not change the font, text size, or anything of that sort.
As mentioned earlier, Evernote recently made changes to its free plan by limiting users to only one notebook and 50 notes. This has caused frustration among many users who have been using Evernote for years and have accumulated a large number of notes.
Apart from its impressive project management capabilities, ClickUp is also a powerful note-taking tool that allows you to create and organize unlimited docs or notebooks. You can easily add images, audio recordings, hyperlinks, checklists, and more to your notes for a dynamic experience. Plus, with the option of real-time collaboration and version control, multiple team members can work on the same note simultaneously.
GoodNotes is a digital note-taking app that allows users to take handwritten notes and annotate PDFs on their mobile devices. With GoodNotes, users can create and organize digital notebooks, import PDFs and images, and annotate them using a variety of writing and drawing tools.
Among the many tools available, you have tools for writing reports, a wiki, a notebook for free style writingand drawing, the standard set of word processor, spreadsheet and presentation, a mail client, a chat client,and more.
The one feature the web app needs for me is merge notes - so far only the desktop apps can do that for some reason. Only adding this as if Linux users need to use web app merge notes and maybe export notebooks (everyone ought to be able to back up their data!) would be good additions.
Anyone who's currently part of the Linux Beta Test group will be able to work offline - and presumably will be able to use the Notebook export option to get a full copy of their current notes and notebooks. (I'm not using my Linux system to be able to check).
Thanks for the suggestions. I have, previously, used the legacy windows client in a VM to allow backups, before the linux beta was available. Problems with this: it's a sizeable overhead in disk space and memory just to use Evernote, and one of the places where I used the linux client was in crostini under ChromeOS where a windows VM isn't feasible.
When I saw the effective abandonment of the Evernote Linux Beta programme back in March, I took the decision to prepare for the inevitable and move my notes out. I backed up each notebook in Enex format, and used the Yarle tool to convert each notebook to a folder full of markdown notes. These imported very easily to Obsidian, with remarkably little loss of formatting or data. I think that of about 8000 total notes, maybe a dozen lost information in the conversion. I started trying to learn Obsidian and adapt my workflow to it (and vice-versa). Within a couple of weeks I had taken the decision to put no new content into Evernote.
There is a learning curve to Obsidian, and it's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed initially. There are uncountable blogs and tutorials and YouTube videos all recommending hundreds of different plug-ins and themes and configurations and workflows. You can and should ignore almost all of this to start with. Keep it simple and try to just get stuff done rather than being distracted by all the shiny new toys. I have ended up with about six or seven plugins which make life a bit easier and make it a little closer to how I used Evernote. I am probably at least as productive as I was with Evernote, although I do miss the ease and slickness of the last Evernote linux clients.
And now, linux is dead. I use all of MacOS/Windows/Linux. Having the Evernote app available to me on all my devices is a fundamental selling point.
I'm so over this relationship where Evernote's curators don't understand their users.
Notebook has six types of 'cards': text, to-do, audio, photo, sketch, and file. Each one can be used for a specific task, and a combination of the types can be built to create a 'notebook.' A notebook is, essentially, a group of cards.
It is possible to add other members to a card for collaboration, ideal for teachers working together on a project. This can then be easily shared using email. You can even add reminders, perhaps of when to share a card or notebook with the class, which can be created in advance.
Collaborate
It is possible to share a project with other teachers or students. One great way to use this with the class is to group students and get them to work on notebooks themselves. They can add images, audio, and text cards to create the end notebook, which will be a finished project.
Express
Create a new notebook and get each student to submit an image card that represents how they feel. This encourages students to share emotionally while being creative in the way they research and share that image.
Go hybrid
Mix real-world class with virtual Notebook by setting a task that involves students searching around the classroom for hidden clues. At each clue stage, leave an image for them to snap as a new card in the notebook, showing their progress. This can be done in a group to save devices and encourage group work.
Whether you use notepads, sticky notes, or scraps of paper, most people make notes and to-do lists or note down appointment information only to lose them straight away. A useful tool to combat this is a digital notebook. Using one of these means that you can view all your notes at any time, and also access them on the go using your smartphone or tablet.
You can also share your notebooks with your coworkers or friends via e-mail and invite them to create and share notes. This works through your free cloud account, where all your notes are stored. Microsoft offers each user 5 GB of free space for this reason. Microsoft 365 subscribers can increase their storage to a total of 1 TB.
In terms of security, OneNote has some great aspects: you can protect your notebook from unauthorized access with a password. Since your notes are accessible through the cloud, you can sync OneNote to other platforms with the appropriate apps. For example, you can use the program with your other devices, like your smartphone, tablet, or iPhone on the go. Your shopping list is always available at your fingertips.
Another disadvantage: You can only share entire notebooks with colleagues or friends, not individual notes. PDF documents can neither be edited nor commented on. The search function on Evernote is much better, thanks to the hashtags.
The digital notebook NixNote (formerly known as NeverNote) has been specially developed for Linux users. Since Evernote does not support this operating system, NixNote is considered the perfect alternative for Linux users. The software is also completely free and fully synced to Evernote.
In terms of clarity, text formatting, and multimedia, NixNote and Evernote are extremely similar. Even at an initial glance, users are immediately reminded of Evernote: you can create as many notebooks as you want, and keep notes chronologically in individual folders. For each note, you can also assign keywords or tags, which help you find corresponding tags. You can also add pictures, videos, audio recordings, or documents to your notes. However, you cannot comment on or edit PDS documents using NixNote.
Using this program can be quite challenging. You will have to go through the context menu every time you want to create a new note, which you can access by right-clicking the mouse. Then you select the color, font or font size, and set the reminder to sleep mode. All these settings can be changed individually through the menu. An attachable toolbar, like those found in other notebooks or Microsoft Word, does not feature here.
Disadvantages: Proud is an extremely strong option for the organizationally-inclined, however it comes at a price. For every Apple device you own, you have to buy the app separately, and it is twice as expensive for Mac users as for iPhone or iPad users. Additionally, Proud is less well equipped in terms of multimedia than Evernote or OneNote. Overall, the app is intended more as an organizer than an actual notebook.
