Hi, I was looking at some free, open source note taking apps for pc, and as much as i hate to say it: they all were shit for accessibility.
​
Can someone recommend something free, open source ?
Thanks!

Google Docs works well. It is not specifically for notes but it has several great tools and super easy way to make headings and lists.

Not what i want at the moment, but can you maybe share your workflow ? for example how do you navigate throu headings ?
blindbat84 2 points 2y ago
When you have headings just get out of forms mode and just use the h key to navigate headings or use the number row to navigate through heading levels 1 through 6.
I use NVDA so not sure if forms mode and browse mode have the same name in JAWS.

Using NVDA at least it is NVDA key and space. Not sure about JAWS.

I use one note it’s made by Microsoft. It’s not open source but it works well for me it has a phone app and Mac/ pc integration. I really like that I can access it on all my devices

Microsoft To-Do works great and has similar features to the one you linked. It works well with TalkBack, but I haven't tried the PC version.

Microsoft todo is a todo app, not so much a notes app, nor is it open-source :)
On Linux, I've had good results with Cherrytree, which unfortunately doesn't work well on Windows. I've been playing with TiddlyWiki which is quite obscure but just like OP, I haven't found a tool for this rather basic pursuit that's actually ...you know ... good / productive / accessible.
Microsoft OneNote, if you can deal with their somewhat ...interesting ... way of doing things, might be another option.

I do not agree with their terms 🤷 Opened OneOne once now I'm getting login screens everyday...
