With OneNote, you can plan that big event, seize that moment of inspiration to create something new, and track that list of errands that are too important to forget. Similar to Evernote, notes that are created with a business Office 365 account will remain with the business account if an employee leaves.Ĭapture your thoughts, discoveries, and ideas and simplify overwhelming planning moments in your life with your very own digital notebook. OneNote is free and included with Office 365. The functionality on macOS, iOS, and Android is limited. The only issue is that it doesn’t work as well on non-Microsoft platforms. It also integrates seamlessly with the Office apps – you can embed Excel tables, Word docs, etc. If you use Microsoft Office, a major benefit for OneNote is that you probably already have it, and it the user experience is similar to tools you already use. This is great for serious business users as you can access your notes from anywhere, and from any web-enabled device. The best feature in OneNote is its automatic syncing with Microsoft’s OneNote cloud-storage platform. The program offers remarkable flexibility, especially for users accustomed to using Microsoft Office as they can take advantage of the app’s ribbon-style toolbar. Click anywhere on your page and you can start typing, drag images and file attachments, insert multimedia, or add to-do-lists. Generally, each note feels like a paper note.
