No lock-in - criteria

Zotero comes to mind as does Mendeley.

A favourite program of mind is Notezilla, a sticky note app. It allows for categorizing notes, having separate memo boards for note devotes to specific topics, has ability to stick notes on items from other programs.

I find its flexibility and elegant simplicity appealing. In some ways I use it like a lot of ppl use OneNote though it lacks some of OneNote’s features (which I am unlikely to use anyway). More and more I do my thinking, reflecting, and brainstorming in Notezilla.

Many ppl work Evernote into their system of notetaking, as well as WhizFolders and MyInfo - I have used, and continue to use all three, for notekeeping.

I’ve been disappointed by qiqqa.

If I was doing heavy duty academic work I’d probably buy Citavi, but it is beyond my means right now.

Much of my writing related notetaking is also done the old fashioned way - using index cards and a fountain pen inked with one of my favourite Noodler’s inks (incidentally, Noodlers make a water based ink which binds immediately with cellulose in paper, creating a bond which makes it waterproof).
