  Snowbound — Freeform note taking
</h1>

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 supports pen and
drawing tools, recording audio and video, revision history, multi-machine live
collaboration, and much more.

Snowbound implements the file and sync protocol used in the 2010 edition of
Microsoft OneNote, so notebooks are fully compatible, including collaboration
features. All features work on every OS, with competent
mobile[(WIP)](https://shale.paperclover.net/snowbound/issues/24) apps too.

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