Notebook is an excellent, ad-free, and aesthetically pleasing note-taker with a generous free plan, making it ideal for most personal users, though power users might miss advanced organizational features.


A beautiful, cross-platform note-taking app for capturing text, images, audio, and checklists, all organized into visual, card-based notebooks.

Notebook by Zoho is a free, beautifully designed note-taking application available across all major platforms, including iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and the web. It allows users to create different types of notes, called Note Cards, which can be text, checklists, audio recordings, photos, or sketches. These cards are then organized into distinct notebooks, which can be customized with unique covers for better visual organization. All notes are synced seamlessly across devices, ensuring that your information is always accessible. Designed for both individual users and teams, Notebook offers a simple and intuitive interface without the clutter of ads, even on the free plan. It includes features like a web clipper for saving articles, document scanning, and basic collaboration for sharing notes. While it integrates deeply with the Zoho ecosystem, it also offers connections to popular services like Zapier and Slack. It's a strong contender for anyone seeking a straightforward, visually appealing alternative to more complex productivity tools like Evernote or Notion.
