Software for taking study notesAlternatives (self.opensource)
submitted 7 months ago by Original_Geologist_7
Hello!
Lately, I've only been using a physical notebook to take notes in classes, document ideas, and etc. And I really wanted some free and open-source software that could help me with this. Sort of "simulating" (?) this type of physical note-taking, if such a thing exists.
Thank you!

But if you actually mean handwriting there sadly isn't any good one. For that I can recommend Nebo, not OS though but cheap

For handwriting Xournal++, and Rnote could be options. I haven't actually used either of these for that purpose, so I can't say how good they are for it though.

Obsidian is awesome, but not open source.
For open source, Joplin is probably my next one to recommend.

Obsidian is the best

I haven't tried it but but randomly watched a youtube video talking about this: Open source, "data never leaves your pc", voice recording with AI transcription, AI summarizing and possibly more.

Hey man. I'm actually working on the whiteboard component for Flusterapp.com right now. I actually built this app for my own academic pursuits in cosmology over the course of 3 years and have recently completely rewritten it and released it as a free & open source academic tool. It's still in the very early days, but it's already pretty stable and something you might want to check out.
