I understand what you’re saying. I have that problem with Curio as well. Blank canvas. So many choices of how to start. Makes my brain freeze up sometimes.

But I’ve been reading the lamenting about OneNote going cloud-only, and Curio is an excellent replacement for the Mac version of OneNote. In fact, in my view, Curio is a far superior application for Mac users than ON is, unless you need cross platform options. Curio integrates with your calendar. It has some nice features for working with PDFs. You can attach a full-featured note to any of the figures you put into Curio. And, of course, you can make your pages beautiful… if you care about that.

On the other hand, OneNote is sort of free, while Curio isn’t.
