Apple Notes

If you're already a fan of Apple's ecosystem, you won't have to seek far for an excellent free note-taking tool. Apple Notes (sometimes known as Notes or iCloud Notes depending on how you access it) is incorporated into macOS and iOS and may also be accessed via your browser. Simply go to icloud.com/notes to get an online version of the app that has all of your synchronized notes—even if you're using a PC or Chromebook. It's a wonderful addition that prevents your notes from being completely tied onto your Apple devices, as long as you have adequate iCloud storage capacity to save everything.

You may add text, attach photographs, scan documents, draw or handwrite, add checklists, arrange items into tables, and more to a new note. You can add many items to a single note, but unlike OneNote, they are segmented. For example, you can't use the pen tool to scratch out a text message.

Of course, being a first-party Apple software, Notes integrates seamlessly with the rest of the Apple ecosystem. One interesting feature is the ability to add stuff directly to Notes on your Mac from your iPhone or iPad. Open a new note, then select Take Photo, Scan Document, or Add Sketch from the Attach dropdown menu. While it is no longer as simple as it once was, Apple Notes is still incredibly effective and meets all of our criteria for a superb note-taking tool. Power-user features can be beneficial, but the majority of users aren't power users—and Apple is well aware of this.
