Best note-taking app for managing work, school, and everything in between

Do more in less time with OneNote

Life moves fast, and your notes should keep up. Included with Microsoft 365¹, OneNote is a flexible, digital notebook that helps you capture everything from class lectures and meeting minutes to grocery lists and project plans. With notebooks, sections, and pages, it’s easy to organize your thoughts in a way that works for you.

Create a notebook for school, another for work, one for personal projects, and anything else on your plate. Whether you’re tracking assignments, managing family schedules, or planning your next big idea, OneNote helps you keep it all in one place and within reach.

Access your notes anywhere

With OneNote, your notes go where you go. OneNote syncs effortlessly across all your devices—Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and web—so you can access your content from your Surface Laptop at work, your Surface Pro at home, or your phone while you’re on the move.

Thanks to OneDrive integration, your notes sync automatically and stay up to date across all your devices. Start a list on your phone and finish it on your laptop. Or review your class notes from your tablet while riding the bus. OneNote gives you flexibility without any extra effort.

Powerful tools to stay organized

OneNote helps you bring structure to your ideas, tasks, and content. Use OneNote to organize your ideas, tasks, and content clearly and efficiently. For example:

• Break content into sections and pages
• Add tags for to-dos, important notes, and follow-ups
• Attach files, insert images, or link to websites
• Draw, highlight, and annotate with digital ink
• Speak your notes with the Voice Transcription feature

Planning a family vacation? Create a shared notebook with itineraries, packing lists, and travel confirmations all in one place. Outlining a report or collecting research? OneNote helps you organize your notes in a way that makes them easy to find, share, and use whenever and wherever you need them.

Seamless integration with Microsoft 365

As part of Microsoft 365, OneNote connects smoothly with the tools you already rely on. Pull in emails from Outlook, drop in a chart from Excel, or link to files stored in OneDrive—all without leaving your notebook.

The seamless integration with Microsoft 365 makes OneNote a natural extension of your workflow. Everything stays connected and in sync, so you can move between tasks without losing momentum or switching apps.

AI that works for you

With Copilot in OneNote¹, smart features help you do more in less time. Ask Copilot to summarize long notes, compare content across pages, or highlight key points so you can quickly get the information you need.

You can even ask questions about your notes and get instant answers. No need to scroll through pages of content. Copilot works alongside you to help cut through the clutter and stay focused, making it easier to think, plan, and get things done.
