Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am an avid note-take, both for my engineering job and as a freelance writer. I used MS OneNote when I had a PC, but when I migrated to a Mac, I was left searching for a suitable replacement. I have used Aquamind's NoteTaker and NoteShare for the last several months. But that program is so burdensome to use, I just couldn't take it any more. I finally landed on Notebook, which has been a great fit. It is similar to the Aquaminds product, but much easier to use and works better with Mac OS X. So far it has integrated perfectly with Address Book, Mail, Grabber, Services, and other Mac system elements. Some of the best features are stickies and flags, as well as the Multidex, which creates an index of your Notebook on the fly using several different parameters (e.g., capitalized words, highlighted text, check boxes, flags, web clippings, attachments, etc.). This allows me to quickly find project information, web clippings, etc. Notebook also allows you to record audio notes, and if you take notes or type while audio is recorded, it keeps track of where during the audio the typing was done. Another very neat feature is that you export a full Notebook as an interactive web page and it behaves very similarly to the actual notebook. I have used this when I wanted to send project notes to a colleague. I exported the notebook and he was able to work it in his browser. Notebook also syncs to-dos with iCal, but I don't use this feature very much. I use Things for my To-Dos, which is a great program is you have lots of tasks and projects with a multitude of To-do's.
What about areas for improvement? The program acts a little funky sometimes when I use OS X's spelling corrector on the fly. The program will occasionally appear to freeze, but it does come back to life. There are other program tweaks that would be nice, but they are not significant enough to list out here. Notetaker has just the right features and is just comprehensive enough to not get in the way of taking notes.
