If you’re a student, organizing your notes (and yourself) can become increasingly difficult with each class, assignment, club, project, or other task added to your to-do list. With all you have to remember to do and all the subjects you have to study for, those random Google Docs, that stack of sticky notes on your desk, and those messy notebooks might not be enough to help you keep track of everything. If you need a better way to stay organized, keep reading.
Whether you like to type or handwrite, you have more options for taking notes than just using a word processing application or paper notebooks. In fact, we’ve compiled a list of the best note-taking apps for students below. We’ve found options for your class notes and to-do lists, so you’re sure to find something that works for you.
A note
Microsoft
OneNote is Microsoft’s dedicated note-taking app, and it’s the only one on this list that looks the most like an actual notebook. In OneNote, you can create separate notebooks, divide your notebooks into sections with colored tabs, and add note pages to each section. You can also search your notes, add videos and images to them, tag them, and add drawings and notes to them. There’s even an immersive Reader mode that will read your notes to you.
You can use OneNote as part of a paid Microsoft 365 subscription, or you can use the free OneNote for Windows 10 app that should come pre-installed on your Windows 10 device. (You can also install the OneNote for Windows 10 app through the Microsoft Store ). The free app for Windows 10 may not have as many premium features as the version that comes with a paid subscription, but it’s still a great option for students on a budget.
evernote
evernote
Evernote is great for students who need a comprehensive solution to organize their lives (schedules and to-do lists) and class notes and assignments. With this app, you can keep track of your tasks and due dates, connect your Google Calendar, share your notes, comment on your handouts, and view your notes on all your devices.
Evernote comes in two low-cost options for students: Evernote Free and the Evernote Personal version for students. Evernote Free is limited but comes with many useful features, including the ability to sync your notes across up to two devices, unlimited notes, access to a dashboard with up to three widgets, a search function, and tasks in notes, and you can insert other types of files such as PDF, images and other documents.
The Evernote Student Discount Program allows students with a valid school email address to get a full year of Evernote Personal at a 50% discount. Without discounts, Evernote Personal is $8 per month. You’ll have to pay to use Evernote Personal, but it comes with a lot more features. You get everything in Evernote Free, plus more storage for your notes, more widgets for your board, reminders and notifications for your tasks, offline access, and more.
Evernote is available for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.
Apple Notes app
Apple
Apple’s Notes app isn’t just for apology posts on social media. Yes, you can use it to write notes and create to-do lists, but don’t let its simple interface fool you. You can do much more than write notes and lists on it. You can also share your notes, add photos or other files to your notes, search for a specific note, scan documents, add tables, and even draw pictures and add shapes.
Best of all, it’s free and already included on iOS and MacOS devices, no download required.
google keep

Google has its own answer to Apple’s Notes app, which is Keep. Keep is free to use and comes standard with a free Google account. Keep isn’t really made for your class notes, but you can use it to keep track of your assignments and other commitments. It’s actually a great way to digitize the stack of sticky notes on your desktop.
You can set reminders (either location or time) for tasks you need to complete. You can write shopping lists or other to-do lists and share them with others so you can collaborate with them to complete tasks. You can even search your notes and reminders by things, colors, or type of note. And all your new edits and notes will be synced across all your devices. You can even add images and create audio notes.
Keep is available for Android, iOS, and as a web app. (It was also available as a Chrome app, but Google ended support for the Keep Chrome app earlier this year.)
a simple note
Simplenote/Automattic/Microsoft Store
Simplenote is a great choice for those who want a note-taking app that has the simplicity and clean interface of a simpler note-taking app like Keep or Notes, and can display longer notes (lectures, sketches, etc.) from a much more readable way. Simplenote’s interface combines the best of notebook-style apps like OneNote and sticky note apps like Keep. It is also completely free to use and is available for Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and Linux.
Simplenote allows you to share your notes, search for your notes using tags, and access your notes on multiple devices.
A term for education
Notion Labs, Inc.
Students and teachers may want to take advantage of Notion’s free application program, Notion for Education. Notion is known for being a solid, all-in-one workspace product that mostly requires a paid subscription to use. (There is another free version, called Personal, but it has limited features.)
But students and teachers with valid school email addresses are in luck because the Notion for Education program gives them free access to a premium subscription to Personal Pro. With Notion, you can organize your class notes, to-do lists, and assignments, and add other items to your notes, such as code, images, videos, or equations. You can also post your notes online and create to-do lists and reading lists. The Personal Pro subscription also includes unlimited pages, blocks, and file uploads, plus unlimited version history and guests.
Notion is available for MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.
