My whole system, minus the Apple Pencil bits, is described here: https://cpbotha.net/2019/09/21/note-taking-strategy-2019/

In short:

- Emacs OrgMode with a specific setup as the core of everything.

- I store interesting web-pages as PDFs on my local drive, currently synced using Dropbox.

- Academic articles go in Zotero, with PDFs on local drive, synced using Dropbox.

- On mobile, I use the Dropbox app to create and edit markdown files (I wish they would just treat .org files as normal text files!), and to save any web page to PDF.

- I sometimes draw flow charts, architecture diagrams and UI using an Apple Pencil and the Notability app on a 2018 entry-level iPad, which syncs these sketches as searchable PDFs to ... Dropbox.
