Video Description
I've spent the last 3 months testing out a huge selection of different note taking apps that work across all my devices, but particularly on my iPad. We've got free/included apps, easy-to-start vs complex learning curve, and apps for visual thinking vs more data/oriented note-taking tools. Plus those that let you write/annotate vs type. In this video I look through six of the best note taking/note keeping apps - hopefully there's something in here to suit your note-taking style! π *PRODUCTS SHOWN/MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO* Apple Notes https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notes/id1110145109 Freeform https://apps.apple.com/us/app/freeform/id6443742539 Notion https://affiliate.notion.so/e8tkpb2ztdml Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ Milanote https://milanote.com/thatmarkgilroy Craft https://www.craft.do/creator/markgilroy (Use code MARKG50 for a lifetime 50% discount on a Craft Plus plan) Paperlike: https://paperlike.com/thatmarkgilroy Goodnotes https://apps.apple.com/us/app/goodnotes-6/id1444383602 Notability https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notability-notes-pdf/id360593530 Freenotes https://apps.apple.com/us/app/freenotes-notes-taking-pdf/id6464237904 Just FYI - I differentiate between 'supported by' and 'sponsored by' in my videos. Supported means that a brand has sent me a product to try - if I think it's any good, I sometimes feature it on the channel. Sponsored means that a brand has paid to have their product/service featured.
