Is there any alternative to OneNote? Every other note taking app I've seen dosent allow pen input, and for Xournal++ it dosent have all the organisation stuff and bulk exporting

Thanks for your suggestions!

Joplin's hand drawing is horrible.

Aside from basic stuff like a ruler and backgrounds missing, it's force recognition is made so it makes the whole line thicker, and once its thick it does not become thin once I don't press on it anymore

Also, PDF imports are missing, and the integration of handwriting into the note itself is very poor (just a link with a PNG render)

    Fair enough, though there are plugins with other drawing editors. Maybe one of them fits the bill?

    Also, PDF imports are missing

    What kind of PDF imports are you talking about?

    That’s probably a real limitation since it’s primary function is a markdown note taking app. It’s not as flexible as handwritten notes.

    Obs: maybe Affine is of interest, they also have a comparison table with other note taking apps.
