About OneNote
Microsoft OneNote is a free digital note-taking application available on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It uses a notebook/section/page hierarchy for organization and supports text, handwriting (with stylus), images, audio recordings, file attachments, and screen clippings. OneNote integrates with Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint) and in 2026 received Copilot AI features for summarizing notes and generating action items. It is free with any Microsoft account and syncs via OneDrive.
