Notion

Notion is a project management and note-taking program that is used for note-taking, task management, project management, knowledge management, and personal knowledge management. For personal and collaborative work, the software makes use of databases and markdown pages.

Note-taking can be done for oneself or in collaboration with and for the benefit of others. So far, all of the applications we've looked at are mostly for taking notes for yourself. Yes, you may share and collaborate on notes and even notebooks, but their essential functionalities are found elsewhere. Collaboration on all levels is integrated into Notion from the start. Notion is the only app on our list that does not meet the requirement of being a note-taking app. It is, but because of its collaborative aspects, it has the potential to be much more. It's three apps in one: a strong notes app (thus its inclusion on our list), a task and project manager, and a reference wiki.

Each new note or document is referred to as a page, and everything in Notion is referred to as a block. Text, checklists, and headers are examples of fundamental elements, as are photos, web bookmarks, video, music, code snippets, and files. On each page, you can use as many blocks as you like in any configuration. They're quite simple to insert: simply type / and browse through the list. There are a lot of templates built in as well, so don't feel like you have to modify everything when you're first starting off. Simply select Templates from the sidebar and browse the possibilities until you find one you like.
