3. Google Keep
For all those Google heads out there, Google Keep is a great option to take notes and to organize, especially if you primarily live and work in the Google-verse.
If you’re already using G Suite features such as Docs and Calendar, Google Keep will look and feel very familiar, send you reminders, and will integrate seamlessly with your other files.
Google is known for its simplicity and intuitiveness, though, so Google Keep lacks some of the advanced features found in heavy hitters such as OneNote and Evernote — for example, internal linking and an extensive toolbar for detailed formatting of your notes.
Thanks to built-in Google search, Keep has the best search function of any note-taking app out there.
4. Laverna
Laverna in action
If big companies scare you and you love open source software, you’ll want to give Laverna a look. You can seriously try it out right now because it’s super simple and runs in your browser. Just click on the linked title of this section and you’re off and running.
Because it’s open source, you can also download the source code and mess around with it yourself if you’re a programmer. There’s no Laverna app, but you can use it on any device with a browser.
Laverna doesn’t have any customer service, in the traditional sense, but there is an active community on Github for resolving issues, which is likely more responsive than the potential one-week wait with Evernote.
