I'm starting up another campaign shortly and I used to use OneNote for my session notes because it's so easy to just put stuff anywhere on the page, which is really helpful for the scattered way I think.

But I switched to Linux since my last campaign and I can't find something that I like that's similar in that sort of freeform canvas.

I tried obsidian and hated it. I tried OneNote in browser and it's just so much worse. I tried Notion and I did like it for a bit, but it's really pushy about using its AI and linking to other pages and such.

So, yeah. I mean, my next thought is literally to start using Krita or Paint or something because I can't find a program that's just kinda bare bones and free form but lets me enter text wherever and slap down some character art, maybe draw a few arrows or something.

Help?

I came across Joplin recently. It’s multi platform and has a cheap cloud sync. Other option is p3xnote which uses one note api or something and works as onenote , in Linux

I second Joplin - works well on Linux Mint and on my Android phone and syncs seamlessly

Just switched to Mint and want to use Joplin. What are you using to sync?

I use OneDrive, but there are plenty of options - Dropbox etc
