Yes the simplified version that MS made was also much much crappier. The tabs for the different notebook disappeared and much of the functionality too :'(

The syncing with Sharepoint also works pretty crap. I preferred when the database was just stored locally and I could choose where to store it.

I'd love to get a new application just like this that works like the old OneNote. Without a whole cloud backing it which locks in my information (e.g. Evernote, Notion etc). Just a file (or collection of files) I can store locally or even in a local git server or whatever. But with options for attachments and cross platform.

I haven't really found anything good. Most of the things are not WYSIWYG but markdown with a double pane (one for the input and one for rendered) which I don't like - I'm not a dev so I don't really idolise markdown or have the muscle memory for it.



I’ve looked and it seems that one can still install the old 2016 OneNote. I still have a cd key out there somewhere. I’m going to give this a go.

I still manage to save my modern OneNote files locally. I save them to my Dropbox for syncing.


You can of course yes but it's not really being updated anymore.

And I don't just use windows these days so it's not really an option for me.
