Yeah, we all have been there searching on Google for:

best free note taking app

Recently, I was watching a YouTube channel of Theo — t3․gg and whenever he had to explain something, he would open a tab and start typing, drawing, and annotating text and images. I really liked the interface and the overall vibe of this tool. Well, I did not know the name of this specific tool. So, here comes AI, haha, as I took the screenshot from the video and asked ChatGPT, “What note taking app is this?” And there it was — Excalidraw!

Why am I saying it is the best?

Well, whenever we test out a new tool or check out its features, we look for very specific and targeted utilities and comfort in that tool. Like, is it too complex, overwhelming, easy to use, or free? Let me tell you the things I have found about this note taking app that are absolutely according to your needs and wishes.

  • It is free and open source
  • No account is needed. Just start drawing or Typing
  • It has no annoying ads
