Web Clippers

A web clipper is a tool, usually a browser extension, that allows you to save web content that you want to view or reference later. This can be text, images, and articles that you find on websites. Popular web clippers include GoFullPage, Notion Web Clipper, and Raindrop.io.

If you need to capture something on a website, you can use the OneNote Web Clipper for Chrome (it also works for other Chromium browsers like Microsoft Edge). It can capture a full web page, an article, or a particular section of the website. You can even bookmark the website. Everything you clip can then be saved to the relevant notebook with a few clicks.

Voice Recorders

OneNote has a voice recording feature that you can use on both the desktop and mobile app. It’s an efficient way to insert recordings alongside your notes. This makes it easier to keep everything organized in one place rather than juggling between separate recording and note-taking apps.

What I like about OneNote’s voice recording feature in the desktop app is the ability to transcribe the audio. Even if the recording was done using another app, you can import it into OneNote and have the tool transcribe it using AI. This means you can quickly convert spoken ideas into searchable text, making it easier to review and reference later.

Task Management Apps

OneNote’s task management capabilities are often overlooked, but they can effectively replace dedicated apps like Todoist or Trello for basic project tracking. It can help you plan parties and vacations or track project milestones.

You can create to-do lists with checkboxes, set due dates, and organize tasks by priority. The ability to add tags to your notes makes it easy to categorize and filter tasks, while the search function helps you quickly locate specific items. If you are on Windows, you can also manage your daily tasks with Sticky Notes and OneNote.
