3 Snowbound — Freeform note taking
4</h1>
5
6Type and draw notes on any platform, while maintaining ownership of your data.
7Snowbound does not use a typical markdown or structured note format, but rather
8uses rich text on a free canvas. Unlike other infinite canvas apps, our canvas
9feels more like a standard text editor software as textboxes automatically
10create and resize as you would expect. In addition, Snowbound supports pen and
11drawing tools, recording audio and video, revision history, multi-machine live
12collaboration, and much more.
13
14Snowbound implements the file and sync protocol used in the 2010 edition of
15Microsoft OneNote, so notebooks are fully compatible, including collaboration
16features. All features work on every OS, with competent
17mobile[(WIP)](https://shale.paperclover.net/snowbound/issues/24) apps too.

19For my songwriting for _[paper clover](https://paperclover.net)_, I use this app
20alongside OneNote on my Windows 7 and Snow Leopard laptops.
