Yeah, plenty.
I use Mendeley that keeps my books on a cloud library, and to take notes on my digital docs. I do a lot of highlights in different colours representing different things, and use the note function to attach notes to parts of the texts.
Most of the time I read things only once so I like to have it super easy to search if I need to go back to it for a specific thing I'm interested in.
I think they're about to retire mendeley desktop but that's the one I use, it's worth trying.

a few semesters ago i started to take my class notes in onenote, which i like but i don't necessarily like being locked into the ms subscription model so I've been looking for alternatives and stumbled across this video: https://youtu.be/L9SLlxaEEXY which i saved to think about later.
yesterday i remembered that i was looking to replace onenote this semester and went back and watched this video and i really like how they set up their notes so I've been doing a dive into zettelkasten.
i enjoy how it mirrors the way i learned how to do research and take notes when i was in high school before digital notes were a thing - index cards, which helps me to organize ideas together to come up with my own ideas and develop understanding.
obsidian seems to be a popular program in organizing your notes this way.
