trick so welcome my name is Franchesco if you are new here welcome to keep productive do subscribe
and check out tool finder with all of the apps mentioned in this video listed below which will
help you to just find the perfect one for you but I'm sure you'll find this very useful so if you do
do comment below with the application that you've decided to go for in the comments below so without
further Ado let's dive in and the first one on list is an app called obsidian and for those
who don't know obsidian is very much a clean PKM notetaking application it's been growing really
really fast they've got a fantastic app that's available on pretty much every device it's also
very much a network T application allowing you to connect one idea to another using back links
and for those who don't know though they've also gotten a new canvas ability which allows you to
express images boards ideas all in one location within your obsidian account the application has
been innovating a lot in the productivity space and for many people it's a secure and really
reliable way to start taking notes because it's stored on the desktop and allowed to store not
necessarily on the cloud straight away although you can upgrade to obsidian sync which does get
you that an obsidian publish which gives you access to publishing it as a digital Garden
or Beyond but for those who are interested in notetaking applications it might be a little
bit too intense as it is very much a well put together PKM tool that a lot of people might
not find but it is growing and it is one that you can use for all aspects of note taking so one to
consider when you're looking at notes apps next up is one that has been on the market for some
time it's called WorkFlowy and if you don't know WorkFlowy it very much kicked off the whole PKM
space with the outliner technology being very helpful for organizing ideas expanding on them
anding bring them together in one application for those who don't know workflow he has been growing
with not just a classic outliner experience which a lot of people like and one that actually cyan's
brother or partner dinal actually was competing in a long time ago but workflow he also had boards
as well which help you to express your ideas and thoughts in a better way too but people actually
use this type of application as a combination of Tasks and notes it's a very interesting one but
WorkFlowy one of the king of the outliners and want to check out if you're looking for
something slightly different to a PKM tool next up is remote and if you're a student this is
one of the best on the market remotes really presents itself as a knowledge base for your
ideas it has the look of notion but the powers of a note taking application and you can not only
take notes but also flash cards as well so this makes it perfect for students trying to remember
things for their upcoming exam and you can turn them into flashcards app very easy you can also
attach PDFs but there are some limitations and there are some more recent AI features inside
this application but remote is very welld designed perfect for students and very easy to use number
four is bare notes now bare notes is beautifully designed they've recently had bare notes 2.0 a
fresh update that has made the application much faster and the editor has become much smoother
now the application is very much more simple in nature it's not going to be a notion or an everan
note with their expansive note taking abilities but it does allow you to organize your notes in
simple hashtags which are just nested hashtags which can help you to organize your notes in a
much simpler fashion very much like Apple notes but a lot more advanced because you do have a lot
more abilities inside of the editor they do have sketching and also the ability to attach files and
a lot more which is accessible in Apple notes but this one is really well designed and really well
crafted now the application is fairly reasonably priced per year two and it's worth checking out if
you're in the hunt for a lightweight note taking experience next up is supernotes and this one
again is very popular with students but also great for collaborating on notes because you can share
your notes with other people which does work well for students but can work well for people outside
of that there are also abilities in the apps like daily notes and more advanced noing that can help
you connect notes up together and view them in the graph view now the application is really
beautiful to look at and it's developed very very well with a combination of brilliant development
work and Brilliant design it's worth checking out supernotes linked below number six very similar to
Bare notes this is a simple note taking app but it's a very well priced very well put together
Notes app if you're looking for something basic and easy to use and it's called upnote and this
one is a really friendly approach to note taking it's not going to blow your away but it is going
to create a brilliant way to create notes in notebooks and also just be able to create simple
notes that go along with it this one is a very good value application in note taking number seven
is very much a privacy focused Network thought application which has been growing in its user
base because it really hooks people in it's called reflect notes and it is an application that a lot
of people like because it has a combination of PKM which you see in obsidian which we mentioned
earlier but at the same time has a much more friendlier approach in my opinion with a calendar
ability a way to manage tasks now and also a way to connect to your Google calendar so that you
can bring in meetings and take notes there now the application itself is really nice because
it has a combination of features Fe that help you to keep your notes secure so you will have that
privacy and authentication before you get into the application which help keep your notes protected
it's currently only available on Mac and iOS and I believe is web as well but with a chrome version
too I'll include all the details to that below if you want a much more in depth review on it number
eight is Microsoft OneNote now the application one note has been on the market for donkeys and
it is very popular with education and academics because it has a great way to almost like having
a little filing cabinet type approach to your notes a little bit of a tab system like a filax
but it does have some really Advanced abilities on Windows and on iPad which allow you to sketch
into the application which makes it a perfect one for students and education as a whole but
for those who are looking for a free all round notet taking application number nine is probably
the one of the better GTD type applications it's called ample note and it combines notes with tasks
and calendar as well the one thing I love inside of ample not is the task ability because when you
start adding tasks it allows you to add a load of input and attributes about the task and it
produces something called a task score which is their own algorithm to how important your task is
then it helps rank your tasks by that inside your notes app and it's also got all of the stuff that
you'd expect to see in apps like obsidian and also we did a whole video about how it can be utilized
with the GTD getting things done system by David Allen that you can use in the link in description
too number 10 is notion it is a super application and great for note taking if you're not looking
at ELO's second brain or Thomas Frank's ultimate brain for utilizing notes but also bringing all
your ideas together then where have you been these templates are fantastic for saving time
in creating the perfect note taking space and note taking system Thomas Frank also has an
upcoming release of a way to capture into notion so I'll include that link in the description below
but largely notion is a fantastic note taking application now that has a real depth of abilities
including more recently better releases with readwise which allows you to bring in all of the
ideas and thoughts you're having with all of your books that you're reading and bring them into your
notion account to view and reflect on later number 11 it's standard and there's a real rise in these
privacy open source focused applications for note taking so if you're looking for something secure
then standard whilst it is very basic in its visuals um it actually is very very secure very
much like the proton male for note taking and one to look at and our number 12 is also very similar
it's notes snook notes snook is also very privacy Focus very basic in the moment they're actually
adding reminders as well inside this application but it has heck of a lot of security a little bit
cheaper than standard notes and it comes with a wide range of devices as well now number 13
evote the giant of the productivity space note taking space it got acquired in 2020 2023 and
it's actually been growing in its releases and abilities but largely evote has guess been very
stagnant over the last couple of years but there's a definite Resurgence in the application and more
recently it's been focusing on its calendar and task abilities to improve it it's more of
a scheduling application and I think they want to be more of a productivity application than a note
taking app but a very interesting one and right now still a brilliant note taking application as
a whole a little bit pricey but again if you take price out of the equation it's pretty decent as
an all around Notes app and number 14 this one is sort of like notion having a baby with it's
not really another comparison to it really it's called capacities it looks like notion but you
can organize your notes with objects and that's very interesting because every time you create an
object it will help you to add that thing in each time so if you want to write and make a notes on a
book then you can set something as a book and that object will live inside of your capaity account
and that's great for bringing that all together in the future and I'm pretty sure that's going
to become very prevalent when AI gets released structurally that's a lot better and a lot more
interesting in my opinion but largely capaity is a very interesting note-taking application
which has a combination of daily notes graph and also a range of abilities when it comes to
text formatting that a lot of people will like so it's worth checking out that one so folks we went
