The article discusses the best note-taking apps, mentioning Evernote, Google Keep, Apple Notes, Bear Notes, Notion, Joplin, Obsidian, and OneNote as top contenders. Bear Notes is lauded for its excellent interface and features, with the ability to organize notes using tags and offering formatting options. The free version is available, but syncing across devices requires the Pro version. Although Evernote has faced criticism for privacy missteps and increased fees, it still provides a comprehensive note-taking experience with features like note organization, web clipping, and AI capabilities.
