Onenote does all those things. clunkily in the case of free arrangement, but hold ALT and it will do it.
In my crazy moments, I imagine porting Onenote's files to a linux program for read/writing Onenote pre-Windows 10 local files.
Then I remember there's almost no way I'm up to finishing that task, even if the file format is open, and I never get past the quagmire of 'what IS desktop linux, is it a .deb, a .rpm, must I use C or C++ i wanna use F#, GTK or QT and strange licenses and and'...then i fire back up my Windows pc and jot down my thoughts, embedded images, files, audio and all right in one file, and decide not to start yet another software project.
Onenote is just about irreplaceable for the following use cases, but open source stuff is close.
roam and notion dont even get on my list
1. notes are stored in an offline file
notewiki and wikidpad falls short here.
4. viewable images inline
cherrytree iirc falls short here? or maybe not but it deserves to be on the list ranked better than 'cloud notes'
5. tables
it is below here where joplin falls short afaik
7. ink and touch features
it is below here where xournal++ falls short though they have a ticket open to eventually use a newer file format that would support this use case...and then i plan to switch if at all practical
2. embed files right in the same file so i only have to sync / backup one file, not any linked files all over the disk
3. image / audio embeds that display/play the media inline
- least 5y agoThanks for this. I'm aware of OneNote being pretty flexible but have never really committed to using it for any length of time to really see if it's what I want or not. It seems to have similar pitfalls that Curio does, though the plus side being that Microsoft is unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon and tend to be pretty good about supporting its Office suite well. Xournal++ [1] I had never heard of. It doesn't seem like it's what I'm personally looking for but what an interesting project and definitely one worth looking at!
