Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/notability

Note-taking app for handwriting, typing, recording audio and marking up PDFs on iPad and Mac.

Notability works best with an iPad and Apple Pencil, and its full features need a subscription. Alternatives include typing-first note apps, PDF markup tools, and recording apps that turn lectures into searchable transcripts on your Mac.
