This rule also extended to other features: editing and sorting notes had to feel seamless and natural, rather than require a battle with a horrible user interface. If it wasn't almost as convenient to open a notes app and create a quick note as it was to reach across my desk for a Moleskine and a pen, it didn't make the cut. The real competition here wasn't other note-taking apps, but a pen and scrap of paper. Second, all the note-taking apps had to be quick and easy to use. Not every note-taking app needs to have features like image-to-text conversion or stylus support, but if it boasted about them, they had to be well-executed and nice to use. This sounds like an easy bar to clear, but you'd be surprised at how many apps fell short.
With so many apps to consider, we had some pretty strict criteria for what made a great notes app.įirst, the best note-taking software has to be good at what it claims to do. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. Because of the autosave feature, you can switch between pages and follow links while editing without worries.All of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. This markup is saved as wiki text so you can easily edit it with other editors. Zim handles several types of markup, like headings, bullet lists and of course bold, italic and highlighted.
Various plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control. All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent page. Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have attachments. Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and images. Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages.
