Microsoft OneNote is a free digital notebook that's part of the Microsoft 365 suite. With Copilot integration introduced in 2025, OneNote now doubles as an AI assistant that helps you summarize pages, rewrite messy notes, or generate to-do lists from long discussions. The app offers a flexible canvas where you can type, draw, insert images, record audio, and organize notes in notebooks, sections, and pages. Its deep integration with other Microsoft tools makes it particularly powerful for users already in the Microsoft ecosystem.
