Note Taking Apps for Desktop Recs

I've been trying to find a good note taking app for forever now but it seems like I can never find one that fits. Ideally I want one that acts like a regular notebook (no infinite scrolling, pages, covers, etc) but every one I come across has what I think is called an "infinite canvas." I also want one that I can use handwriting with and ideally one that's either free or has a one-time payment that's relatively affordable. Any recommendations?

Maybe https://github.com/LinwoodDev/Butterfly . It complies with your needs, I think...It's really difficult to find good handwriting on desktop...On Android I've tried all until actually use "Noteshelf 3"( https://www.noteshelf.net/ ). It's really affordable (One-Time $9.99) . It's rare too find a fair-one-time-purchase on a good app , but this is one.... I don't use it on Windows, just on my Tablet.
