OneNote for Windows 10 will lose support on October 14, 2025. Users are urged to switch to OneNote on Microsoft 365 as soon as possible. A delayed switchover can lead to slower synchronization and regular notifications from Microsoft.

    I fucking hate how Microsoft makes several different versions of OneNote, Teams, Outlook, MS accounts, etc. and then gives them the same name, and a very similar icon.
    I can’t wrap my head around who thought it was a good idea to have two Teams apps installed, with almost identical icons, and if you log into the personal Teams with an enterprise account or vice versa, you just get an error message.

      Also it seems like every one note version is good at some task or has access to formatting/organization options that others can only view.

      I wish there was an open source solution in a similar manner to immich (quality and organization) wise.

        There are boatloads of various note-taking apps, both open-source and not, that are much better than OneNote. Take a look at https://noteapps.info/features, where you can browse by specific features you’re interested in. I’ve just recently switched from running DokuWiki for my homelab documentation to Joplin and I’m really loving it so far (I’ve setup sync to Hetzner’s S3 service).

          Thanks for the link. I just setup joplin and joplin server.

          I migrated all my old samsung notes to joplin.

          Sadly I still can’t replace OneNote. There is no open source alternative for an infinite canvas with proper custom server based sync that helps to resolve conflicts. Logseq looks pretty good but the server sync implementation is not open source.

          The only thing that’s been keeping me on OneNote is the handwriting stuff. I keep trying to move to Obsidian cause I like it but I take notes on my iPad constantly. As much or more than on my computer.

          And I really like how OneNote will take my chicken scratch and use OCR to turn it into actual text.

            I can understand that. Maybe check the list I noted above, I’m pretty sure quite a few can do handwriting recognition (doesn’t the iPad’s native handwriting recognition work with Obsidian?). Though I understand the ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broke’ inclination as well…
