Hey everyone,

I am looking for an alternative for OneNote for Linux. A clone would be perfect, the interface of it and the ability to paste pictures into a very wide notes field is great. Please help me!

Notesnook is a pretty good service. More of a less clunky Evernote. It's free by default but has paid for options and also very privacy focused.

Creating a TiddlyWiki is also an alternative. Especially to Obsidian

I'd try anytype too, it's a lot of stuff and almost out of beta. It seems pretty good

Create a folder, put markdown files in it, sync* and backup* the folder however you like and edit the files with whatever you like*.

Within my folder I have a daily journal - start each day with a list of what I hope to achieve today and make notes throughout the day as I progress on those tasks. The next day that journal becomes something I'lll refer back to in the morning to decide what to do next. Depending on the project - weekly or monthly might be more suitable than daily. Or maybe something else entirely.

I also have folders an files for longer term tasks.

If you want to collaborate, make a second folder and choose a sync platform you can all agree on.

(* I use GitHub for Sync, Backblaze B2 for backup, and Visual Studio Code for editing, with extensions for markdown and making GitHub a little easier... specifically GitDoc for auto-commit/push/pull and Markdown All in One for formatting/etc. Also Copilot is handy for some note taking tasks. The "foam" extension mentioned here looks like it might be great too)

Not a great direct alternative, but rnote is pretty good

I’ve tried about everything and landed on Workflowy and love it. Simple, fast, excellent for organizing.

If you are looking for a handwritten notes app that syncs across devices you could give Saber a try.

Zim Desktop Wiki: https://zim-wiki.org/

It's good for creating interconnected articles on your desktop. No mobile version though, so it's more of a knowledge base that a notes app.

Attachments and links to external files work beautifully. WYSIWYG editor, all articles stores as plain text files with zim wiki syntax, attachments are plain files in folders

Technically OneNote online in office 365 is also an option

Btw no built in sync, but since it's all just plain files in folders syncing works beautifully with Own loud/Nextcloud

There is built-in git versioning though, though I'm not sure when you'd use that for personal use
