OneNote + ShareX's OCR tool = easy note-taking/searching

Highly recommended 👍

I personally recommend PasteIntoFile, easy to manage screenshots https://github.com/EslaMx7/PasteIntoFile

I'm using Steam's Screenshot and Notepad feature. It's nice when you don't want to use an extra software (although I recommend using shareX in general anyway)

I was thinking of using Steam's notes thing until I saw you can't separate pages and things, so I knew it was going to be a big mess if I tried to keep things in there.

I even noticed OneNote automatically tries to OCR the text on images, so except for the ones that are handwritten, I can actually ctrl+f and find text from an image if I want to look something up but don't remember where the info is.

Got a 'section' in OneNote for every room (and 'pages' within sections if needed (e.g. the different grade variations of Classroom), and one for general notes and stuff, now. 🐭🎶 Way better than the massive Word document I had before, lol.

The one note is smart, I play on my laptop however and would rather not switch between tabs, so I have about a stack of 20 note cards piled on my desk with information thrown on them making it hard to find anything, which I think is fitting for a game like this.

What do you mean you can't separate pages and things?
If you mean that in general you want to separate the notes into multiple pages, you can do that.
I keep my notes separated into about 8 pages (click on the pencil icon in the bottom left corner to add a page).
I keep one page for each specific puzzle I'm working on, one with all my safe codes, one for random screenshots I don't know the importance of yet, one for notes specific to my current run, etc.
