Best all-in-one note-taking apps
Apps that want to be the only tab you keep open: notes on top of databases, tasks and shared docs.
Top pick: Notion at 8.5 out of 10. If your notes are really a small internal wiki, Notion is hard to beat. If you just want to write things down quickly, it asks for more setup than it gives back. Compare it with Craft.
