Hi.

Are there any similar alternatives to Notewise or Goodnotes? It’s for taking notes on a tablet.

Thank you

    It doesn’t really have any of the fancy bells and whistles, but if you want a notes app that allows handwriting, I use Xournal++

      Both are great if you’ve got a keyboard or can use one, but they aren’t quite the same usecase as GoodNotes. GoodNotes is more a PDF annotation software but with bell and whistles added in that make it more functional as a digital notebook, with document scanning and web collaboration tacked on as well.

      I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement for 3 years but everything I’ve tried has been short of the mark.

        Actually never did, tried Logseq and found that the sweet spot of being to lazy and having what I need in obsidian made me stick with it

    Your question just solved an issue that has been keeping me on iOS. I use GoodNotes at work as a digital replacement for a thick clipboard of paperwork. I didn’t know that it was available on Android or had even heard of Notewise. Thank you!

    As for answering your question, not that I had found over the last 3 years. At least on Android or iOS. When I ask online I’m always pointed towards Obsidian or LogSeq, which while they are great if you sit at a desk, aren’t the same use case as GoodNotes. They are more for Markdown formatted text file notes. Looks like there’s a few options now if you want to start running a Linux tablet though.

    Thanks again!
