In summary, the conversation discussed various options for note-taking apps, including Notability, Goodnotes, CollabNotes, and Obsidian. Notability was mentioned as a popular choice with its recording feature, while Goodnotes and CollabNotes also offer similar features. Obsidian was suggested as a free option that allows users to link their notes together in a personal Wikipedia-like network. Some Ph.D. grad students use it to manage their thesis notes. Another option is specialty notebooks that can record handwritten notes and be uploaded to a computer later on. However, the traditional method of using a simple or fancy notebook and rewriting notes during quiet moments was also mentioned as a tried and true approach.

TL;DR Summary
Nebo note taking app
Anyone familiar with the Nebo app for note taking? Good? Bad?
Most folks use Notability with its recording option, where what you write while recording is attached to the time mark of the recording. It allows you to tap on a note and jump to where the relevant information was said in the recording.
Goodnotes and CollabNotes (free but somewhat experimental) also have these features.
Another option to consider is Obsidian (free) which can link your notes together to make a personal Wikipedia-like network of notes. Many users swear by it, not at it. I've been using it to collect my note mess into a coherent whole, a never-ending work in progress.
Some Ph.D. grad students use Obsidian to manage their thesis notes. There are many videos on Obsidian on youtube.
A third option is the specialty notebooks, where a pen records what you wrote and can be uploaded to a computer later on.
Of course, the tried and true scheme is to write your notes in a simple notebook or fancier Moleskin notebook and then rewrite them elsewhere during quiet moments of reflection.
