digital notebook

Screen-based note keeper

A digital notebook is software that mimics a physical notebook, allowing users to write, type, draw, and organize notes on a computer or tablet.

Unlike simple text editors, digital notebooks typically support freeform input, handwriting recognition, and multimedia: I keep all my meeting notes in a digital notebook.

Popular examples include OneNote and Notability.
