I work in a mixed Apple/Android/PC environment. I use a stylus to take notes on my work iPad with Penultimate and on my personal Galaxy Note 4 with S-Pen. I also make notes on paper or by emailing myself when I'm at my desk. As you can imagine my notes are a mess and I need a way to organize this. Help me come up with a seamless (probably cloud-based) notes workflow.
Off the table: replacing my work PC with a Mac.
On the table: switching from Android to iPhone but I really don't want to do that if I can figure out a way to make note-taking work with what I've got.
Ideally I'd like a way to have a seamless notebook that I can add to either from my computer, my iPad, or my phone. I'd like to be able to sometimes add a space BETWEEN notes to add extra info. And I am pretty married to using a stylus to write longhand on my tablet and phone, I'm terribly slow when I try to type on them. But when I'm at my PC obviously I want to enter things via typing.
I'd ALSO like to be able to OCR the things I enter by stylus so it's all searchable. Did I mention my handwriting is not amazingly legible?
Please hope me!

You can ink directly in OneNote on Windows and it includes organizational tools and universal sync, but not sure about inking on Android/iOS. Might be worth checking out?

I love onenote. I ink on my tablet, and pull up the notes on my iPhone. If it works with android, it's worth it.
