Man, you left out Obsidian, it is a godsend for studying and notetaking.

Get an ultra-wide monitor, split it into four panes, one pane to import the pdf you want to read, another for note-taking, and spare another one for the AI for Markdown formatting and explaining texts (optional). I can't think of a more efficient workflow for studying digitally.

    Yeah, they don't let you self host the server for syncing either. They wanted like 8$ a month for their service last time I checked. It's really nice software and you can use other apps for syncing but that aspect is annoying.

    There are tons of alternative ways for you to sync notes. I have used it for so long without spending a dime.

    What method are you using? I have Nextcloud running but it's not great on android and I can only sync notes from my PC not create them on the phone. I've heard syncthing works well but their android app is sketchy too last I saw.

    I used to just use a cloud service like you years ago, but try sync them through GitHub, there is a 1gb limit on private repositories though, but it should be fine as long as you don't put videos and sounds in there.

    The reason Microsoft sponsors it to universities is to get you used to their systems. Free yourself early, or you will start a long life of digital sunken cost that will make the change even more difficult.
