Digital notes can solve a surprisingly simple problem: helping you remember something when you need it later. The difficulty begins when the number of notes grows. A few quick reminders can eventually become hundreds of ideas, saved articles, meeting notes, research findings, project details, and unfinished thoughts scattered across different folders and applications.
