I spent 10 years taking notes in Evernote. When I started using Notion in 2018 for project management, I had a hard time adapting it for my note-taking needs – so I built this template.
The result of months of experimentation, my note-taking template is the closest you can get to replicating the best features from note-taking apps like Evernote, OneNote, and Bear – while still retaining the tools that make Notion so powerful. And yes, it’s free.
Ultimate Notes comes with all of these advanced features:
- An Inbox view for quickly capturing new notes and web clips – even on the go.
- Favorites and Recent Notes sections, which give you quick access to your most frequently-accessed notes.
- Clips section for organizing full articles, highlights, and resources you capture from the web (check out Flylighter, the best web clipper for Notion!)
- A robust Tags system for keeping your note-taking system organized.
- Mobile-friendly pages that work well on your phone.
Want a Full Productivity System?
I don’t only take notes in Notion – I also use Notion as a complete productivity system. I use it to manage my tasks and projects, track my goals, plan my future, and more.
If you want to do the same, you can go beyond note-taking by getting my Ultimate Brain template.
Ultimate Brain includes all the same note-taking features from Ultimate Notes, plus extra bonuses:

You’ll also be able to add notes directly to projects, letting you see a project’s notes and tasks all in one place.
