+ Snowbound — Freeform note taking
+
Type and draw notes on any platform, while maintaining ownership of your data.
+Snowbound does not use a typical markdown or structured note format, but rather
+uses rich text on a free canvas. Unlike other infinite canvas apps, our canvas
+feels more like a standard text editor software as textboxes automatically
+create and resize as you would expect. In addition, Snowbound (TODO) supports
+pen and drawing tools, recording audio and video, revision history, multi-machine
+live collaboration, and much more.
+
+TODO: insert a screenshot once the UI is polished.
Snowbound implements the file and sync protocol used in 2010 Microsoft OneNote,
-so notebooks are fully compatible.
+so notebooks are fully compatible, including collaboration features. It (TODO)
+supports OS X 10.6, all the way to modern macOS, iOS, Linux, and Windows.
+
+For my songwriting for *[paper clover](https://paperclover.net)*, I use this app
+alongside OneNote on my Windows 7 laptop.
