Microsoft OneNote is Microsoft's notebook-style note app for freeform pages, sections, handwriting, attachments, meeting notes, and class or team organization. It is familiar to users who already rely on Microsoft 365 accounts and devices.

OneNote fits buyers who want flexible note pages and Microsoft integration without adopting a separate knowledge system. Compare it on organization model, search, sharing, handwriting support, mobile quality, and whether notebooks become easier or harder to maintain at scale.

It belongs on a shortlist when the buyer needs a note system they will keep using after the first week. Test capture speed, search, linking, import and export paths, mobile use, privacy expectations, and adjacent options such as docs, wikis, and database workspaces.
