📝 Description
A Linux compatible version of OneNote.
Main Features
P3X OneNote Linux is, actually, an independent browser window for the online OneNote. You can use this program without having to clutter your browser. The main functions are:
- that is independent from any browser, as it works in it’s own process
- it provides a tray, that allows you to close your browser while it keeps running in the tray
- the data is cached and is faster than always opening a new window
- it allows you to sign in with the corporate or the personal login
- when there is a new update, it auto updates itself
- the program allows to use other Microsoft online applications, but the dedicated purpose is to use OneNote

- The language for OneNote is managed by Microsoft; efforts are made to support multiple languages through the Electron UI:
- Language translation resources are available at:
- Support for multiple instances is available, though with limitations:

Windows
It was a request to build a Windows version. Issue 168
MacOS Compatibility
Our application supports builds for both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures.
Handling Downloaded Files from GitHub
Although I’m not an Apple expert, if you download the zip file for the arm64 version, you’ll need to execute the following command on the unzipped app to remove the quarantine attribute applied by macOS:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine P3X-OneNote.app
This command ensures that your system trusts the application, allowing it to run smoothly without security interruptions from macOS.

Change log
Development
For file names do not use camelCase, but use kebab-case. Folder should be named as kebab-case as well. As you can see, all code filenames are using it like that, please do not change that.
Please apply the .editorconfig settings in your IDE.
For generating rpm on Ubuntu distro, you can use:
sudo apt-get install rpm
If you try to build the app with NPM, you have to change from electron devDependencies to dependencies, this is because it is created to be able to run this app from AppImage instead of an NPM.
