Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Amplenote.
NotePlan
A daily-note app that combines notes, tasks and Apple Calendar events for Mac, iOS and web.
NotePlan pairs daily notes with Apple Calendar and Reminders, which limits it to Mac, iOS and the web and requires a paid subscription after the trial.
Notion
All-in-one workspace combining notes, databases, wikis, and task boards.
Notion combines notes, databases, wikis and task boards with real-time collaboration, but it lacks a Linux app and takes time to set up well.
Superlist
A task and notes app from the creators of Wunderlist, combining to-do lists, notes and projects.
Superlist puts tasks and notes in shared lists for households and teams, but it has no Windows desktop app and its AI features rely on a hosted service.
Twos
An app for quickly writing down notes, to-dos, reminders and events organised by day.
Twos captures notes, tasks and reminders in a daily view across all major platforms, but it is lighter and less suited to long structured documents.
Agenda
A date-focused note app for Mac, iPhone and iPad that links notes to calendar events.
Agenda ties notes to dates and calendar events on a project timeline, but it runs only on Mac, iPhone and iPad and some features require Premium.
Mem
An AI note-taking workspace with an agent that tracks your tasks, projects and goals from your notes.
Mem uses an AI agent to track tasks and follow-ups from your notes, but its desktop app is shown only for Windows and notes live in its proprietary cloud.
Evernote
A long-running note-taking app with notebooks, tasks, calendar links, search and web clipping.
Evernote offers notebooks with linked tasks, calendar and a web clipper, but it has no desktop apps listed and keeps notes on Evernote's servers.
Reflect
An end-to-end encrypted note app with backlinked notes, calendar integration and an AI assistant.
Reflect adds end-to-end encryption to linked notes with calendar integration, but it is paid after the trial and available only on iOS and the web.
Also worth comparing
