The 12 best new note taking apps in 2023

Even though I’m very happy with my current note taking software setup (thanks, Bear Notes), I always like to keep an eye on the latest personal knowledge management and note taking apps that are coming to the forefront. I was an early adopter of Obsidian, and even though I don’t use it right now for personal use, I’m so excited to see how much growth it has undergone over the past few years. Likewise, I’m excited to watch the growth of these promising new note taking apps.
