Note Taking Tips?
Adam Schoales | Sep 29 2007
I'm in my first year of university and trying desperately to come up with the best way to take notes on my mac... I've been looking into notae and yojimbo (I like the tagging features alot, but dislike that I can't put in pictures and such) but have heard good things about journler and devonthink. The problem with Notae (which I used today) is everything is in SQL databases which is going to make it difficult. Plus most of these apps REQUIRE you to make a new database file rather than a bunch of text files which it will database and collect, etc. I've also heard wiki's are a great way to take notes but have no clue how to do so on my mac. So please, if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'm sure there are many like me who also would love to know any suggestions for great apps for us Univeristy kids. 105 Comments

My list...Submitted by AndrewM on September 29, 2007 - 5:41pm.
I never used a computer to take notes when I did my undergraduate degree, but with my PhD my Mac was my whole lifelife. Here's all I used (some more than others). Not all relevant, but still a good list of apps. Curio - Great application, really helps you get a project organised. OmniOutiner Pro - Nice, but I tend to not to use it that much OmniGraffle Pro - Essential (you don't need the Pro one really) Papers - Collect research papers if you ever get that far! Scrivener - Write things! Textmate - The text editor. MacTex - LaTeX makes writing easy (once you have learnt the syntax) Journler - Nice, but I tend to not to use it that much Mental Case - Supprisingly useful, look at Kinkless for a screencast Igor Pro - Graphs and stuff. Hope this is of some use. You did well getting a Mac, it is actually a big help. » POSTED IN:
