OneNote to perish alongside Windows 10.
-
OneNote for Windows 10 will lose support on October 14, 2025. Users are urged to switch to OneNote on Microsoft 365 as soon as possible. A delayed switchover can lead to slower synchronization and regular notifications from Microsoft.
No, The OneNote UWP app is going away ("OneNote for Windows 10"), OneNote itself is still a part of office & still maintained

What's up Joplin gang!
Joplin is nice and what I use currently. I came across obsidian the other day which I found a plugin that makes it function more like OneNote. Only issue is the sync as far as I can tell is subscriptin based. I imagine a plugin exists for that but haven't looked yet.

Frankly they should have nuked "OneNote for Windows 10" long ago and quietly replaced it with the Office version. Or better yet, not launch a separate version to begin with under the same name. But this is Microsoft, having multiple apps with the same name is just the norm.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
But how? And why? Where’s the profit in that?

I use both Dropbox and iCloud to sync Obsidian vaults and have no issues. No need to pay their subscription in my experience.

I use syncthing with obsidian, and save my files in a cloud synced folder on my desktop. Free sync across all my devices, plus easy cloud backups.

I fucking hate how Microsoft makes several different versions of OneNote, Teams, Outlook, MS accounts, etc. and then gives them the same name, and a very similar icon.
I can't wrap my head around who thought it was a good idea to have two Teams apps installed, with almost identical icons, and if you log into the personal Teams with an enterprise account or vice versa, you just get an error message.Amen. There were actually three Teams clients at the same time (the Windows 11-bundled Teams "personal version", Teams [for business] and Teams [the new version]). Not to mention they also have Skype for Business (which is actually Lync rebranded, which is Communicator rebranded) which is not interoperable at all with Teams even though it's also an Office 365 app. And of course, Skype for Business is a completely different code base than Skype.
It's a complete and utter shitshow and I can't fathom why heads aren't rolling at Microsoft. Makes me think of this email from Bill Gates back in the day. If he was CEO now he would be fuming.

Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)
I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.

Do what I did a few months back and switch to Obsidian.
Especially if you write any code. It's way better for that.
You will need to either
- Pay for their sync at $5/m (hugely overpriced imo)
- Use your own sync solution like Dropbox, Google Drive, Resilio Sync or Syncthing.

You have to have redundant software in order to operate. More versions is more purchase transactions. End user hostile garbage.

This. Your data is stored in .md text files so even if Obidian somehow stopped being the best your data is so easy to move around.
Also add to your list mega.nz works for syncing Obsidian across many systems.

Every time I talk to my mom about her work with Microsoft products I'm dumbfounded "you have 3 tools from the same author and none of them interact with each other in any meaningful way but you have to use all 3 to get anything done?"
In order to resolve a concern, she has to check teams for the message to check her outlook for the email which will link to the ticket on Azure... And this isn't even an uncommon workflow lmao

What plugin is it? Been using Obsidian as well since it's the best replacement I've found that also has easy self hosted syncing (Remotely plugin via WebDAV)

Eww no, Teams is a Slack like work chat app, Outlook is an email client and email is the worst thing to happen to corporate communication, email is only good for company wide announcements. The threaded view of a email chat looks idiotic, I've never met someone over the age of 40 who knows how to find an old email with attachments, so they keep asking you to email them the same files as attachments over and over again, it's slow as he'll, nothings more excruciating than the silence where you are on a meeting someone sends a email to someone else and now everyone has to wait for the email to arrive in the inbox. If it's not instant messaging I dont want it, "Yours sincerely" has no place in 2025 for me

Or just push your entire vault to github or some other git host and then push and pull commits using the Git plug-in from the Obsidian community store

I wish there was an open source solution in a similar manner to immich (quality and organization) wise.

I can't imagine OneNote will ever disappear. It's ingrained in a lot of businesses. The under-featured UWP on the other hand is no loss.
Yeah but I think the UWP version was the only version that didn't have the stupid bug where your handwritten notes would move around randomly after you exited the notebook sometimes. Idk if they fixed that but last time I checked it was a very old bug known to exist in the other version and only work in that version.

I could go a lifetime without ever using OneNote again. That goes doubly for a web version.

OneNote was definitely one of the apps of all time
