NoteKit is a free-software hierarchical markdown notetaking application built on GTK+ 3, aiming to be a platform-independent OneNote alternative. It supports instantly-formatted markdown notes organized in a folder tree, plus hand-drawn notes via mouse, touchscreen, or digitizer.

Use cases

  • take structured markdown notes in a folder tree
  • replace OneNote with a free-software alternative
  • handwrite notes with a stylus or tablet
  • mix typed and hand-drawn sketches in one notebook
  • store notes in a simple standard on-disk format

When to avoid

  • you need cloud sync or mobile apps out of the box
  • you want a web-based or collaborative editor
  • you are not on Linux or Windows and cannot build from source
