onenote

My setup is on OneNote, which does a really great job of indexing everything you throw into it.

It is well known things like OneNote let you search handwritten notes, for example, using fuzzy logic and context.

A few other OneNote-specific tips: - Win+Shift+S freezes the display and lets you draw a bounding box to take a screenshot.

Prodigy Notes is a web app designed for journaling, but could also be used as a lightweight Evernote or OneNote alternative.

A surprising number of people also use Project, Visio and OneNote and there's not really a good portable solution for those cases.

Bonus: the entire text of the page gets put into the OneNote full-text index.

Online solutions like Evernote and Onenote have always just been tricky to get into.

Microsoft released a lot of cool stuff for OneNote starting around a year ago.

Or maybe you have a few documents in OneNote which are personal but you hadn't had time to send them to yourself.

That's more or less what a Surface Pro with OneNote (and OneDrive) does.

Extensions are coming later, but the OneNote drawing thing is shipped first?

A bit like if google docs had a child with OneNote...

A feature from OneNote I love and nobody knows about because of poor marketing is the "me@onenote.com" [1].

Use IE's "Send to OneNote" or the OneNote printer driver to capture them.

You send an email to it, it creates a note where Email subject = Note title, and email content = the note text I linked my gmail account to it (it doesn't require to sync email between the gmail and the outlook account) and I email "me@onenote.com" all the time.
