Our verdict
A free-form notebook where you can type, draw, paste screenshots and clip anything anywhere on the page, synced through your Microsoft account. It is especially good with a pen or touchscreen. It is free without Microsoft 365, though notebooks live on OneDrive, so free storage limits apply.
