Is there any alternative to OneNote? Every other note taking app I’ve seen dosent allow pen input, and for Xournal++ it dosent have all the organisation stuff and bulk exporting
Thanks for your suggestions!
Joplin, I also self host my server and sync between my devices.
Joplin’s hand drawing is horrible.
Aside from basic stuff like a ruler and backgrounds missing, it’s force recognition is made so it makes the whole line thicker, and once its thick it does not become thin once I don’t press on it anymore
Also, PDF imports are missing, and the integration of handwriting into the note itself is very poor (just a link with a PNG render)
I switched to obsidian and haven’t looked back. It doesn’t appear to have stylus input in the core application (I don’t need that), but it does look like there are a couple of community plugins that enable the support. Not sure how good they are though.
I personally use the Excalidraw plugin on my iPad and it works pretty good.
i use Joplin hosted in NextCloud for multi devices. Not sure of it drawing ability though?
Have you tried saber?

I only use it on Android so I’m not sure if Linux has the same capabilities, but it’s similar to xournal++ but with more of a focus on building up a library of notes rather than marking up PDFs.
Nice. I had not seen saber. Just installed it on my laptop and phone, and got it connected to my next cloud instance.
Like others have said Joplin’s drawing is terrible, and xournal has been the best so far but is difficult to manage and review as a notebook.
Too bad I can’t do a big sweep my xopp file to convert to saber to get a feeling with existing notes. https://github.com/saber-notes/saber/issues/677
Used it, until their pen input stopped working for half a year until it got fixed
So, yeah, I’ll pass
