What most note taking apps ignore is OneNote's strong drawing tablet capabilities, but Obsidian is here to save the day with the Excalidraw plugin. In total it is not as user friendly as OneNote, but the data portability cannot be weighted in gold.

I did a lot of hemming and hawing over stylus support.

In the end, I realized I really just wanted to export/share the sketch or notes from the Samsung app as a PNG or PDF to whatever note organizer I used. So ended up with anytype

Joplin also has a drawing plugin called Freehand Drawing.

Does it have premade forms available like circles?

@[email protected] That extension is more for freehand drawing. For pre-made shapes and diagrams, you can use the Draw .io extension instead:

Freehand drawing: https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/io.github.personalizedrefrigerator.js-draw/

Draw .io: https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/com.github.marc0l92.joplin-plugin-drawio/
