Pulsestacks, April 17th - Following the earlier release of the Office suite for Apple's mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, Microsoft today unveiled the native OneNote app for visionOS.
A Microsoft product manager confirmed this in a blog post. According to Microsoft, OneNote will harness the spatial computing capabilities of Apple's Vision Pro to offer an "infinite canvas" and can be displayed side by side with other Microsoft apps already on the platform, such as Word and Excel. OneNote is a popular note-taking app by Microsoft.
Microsoft states that the visionOS version "shares many of the same features as the iPad version of OneNote," including note-taking, creating digital notebooks, marking important notes, creating to-do tags, locking notes with passwords, syncing to OneDrive cloud storage, and sharing notes with others.
Of course, the OneNote app for visionOS is specially optimized to take full advantage of Apple Vision Pro's hardware capabilities, allowing users to operate it with gestures or with a Bluetooth-connected keyboard and trackpad. Microsoft also confirmed that future updates will add support for Copilot and two-factor authentication.
pulsestacks noted that since the release of Apple Vision Pro, Microsoft has been actively among the vendors providing visionOS apps. Currently, users can find apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams in the visionOS App Store, and the newly added OneNote app has also officially debuted in the visionOS App Store.
