keepnote / Cherrytree - this is good for CTF/challenges… self contained
Microsoft One Note - I use this for a general scrapbook/wiki off stuff like cheatsheet guides. quick simple to slap stuff in
Notepad++ - cant go wrong with text files and a good folder structure and named screenshots. i typically use this for pentests. others like dradius, canvas, dart, serpico are ok but i feel over complicate things…
pentest.ws looks good and i want to try the self hosted version could be good.

I am still waiting for the selfhosted version also. They are also in the works to get a shared encounter going also for a team type attack. They will hopefully soon be everything that I need. I just wish the did Inline Code Snippets instead of just Block Code, and have the ability to add screenshots to the hosts notes and not just in the report section.
Cherrytree ftw. Free, offline, open-source, Markdown, hierarchical, font support, password protection, searching through everything… what else is there I could possibly need?
I hate anything that is online-only like pentest.ws because it makes assumptions about my network setup. Sometimes I want to work on stuff offline or away from wifi, and then what use is that service to me?
I also used Boostnote because of the markdown support and it was a really great note-keeping tool. But because I wanted something that I could access from any device I am now using GitBook which also supports markdown format!
In the past I’ve also used jekyll which is very easy to setup locally. Also a jekyll-blog can be easily published and integrated with github anytime which is very convenient.
