The OneNote alternative that actually syncs reliably
OneNote's free, but the sync conflicts and the Microsoft-account lock-in burned you. Noteshik flags sync conflicts instead of silently overwriting, works with any email, runs on Linux too, and exports to Markdown.
Free for 60 notes, no credit card. New subscribers get the first year of Pro for $18.99, then $24.99 a year.
Sync that actually works
OneNote's sync conflicts have been an open complaint for a decade. When the same note changes on two devices, Noteshik marks the conflict so you can pick what to keep, instead of quietly dropping an edit.
Standalone, not Microsoft-bound
Sign up with any email. No Microsoft account, no Office 365 dependency. If you don't already pay for Microsoft 365, you don't need to.
Linux is a first-class citizen
OneNote's Linux story is web-only with broken features. Noteshik is a web app, so it's the same on Linux, Mac and Windows.

Common questions
Can I import OneNote notebooks?+
Not yet. A direct OneNote import (sign in with Microsoft) is coming soon. For now you can copy pages over or attach exported PDFs.
What happens if two devices edit the same note?+
Noteshik detects that the note changed on the server since your device last synced and flags it as a conflict, so neither edit is silently lost.
Does it work on iPad with Apple Pencil?+
For sketching, yes — in Safari, with pressure-sensitive strokes and palm rejection. There's no native iPad app and no handwriting-to-text yet.
