notes.so is not another notes app. It's a place to help you pick the right one — and to use it better.
The note-taking market is fragmented, expensive, and full of hype. Every tool claims to be the last app you'll ever need. Most are either too complex, too expensive, or just not worth the switch. We test them, compare them honestly, and help you decide what fits — not what pays the most.
I'm Franck. No VC funding, no team of 50, no content farm. I've spent years building and running digital properties, and a good chunk of that time living inside note-taking and productivity tools — evaluating them, switching between them, and watching teams argue about them.
I got tired of "best notes apps" roundups that rank tools based on affiliate payouts rather than actual use. Every comparison on this site is based on real testing. I use the tools I recommend, and I say clearly when something isn't worth your time.
notes.so sits on a five-letter exact-match domain on the .so TLD — the extension popularized by Notion. The plan is to use that as a distribution asset to build something genuinely useful for people navigating this space.
