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

I've been using Journler for a while in meetings and in grad classes. The ability to sort entries into smart folders by tags/categories is great; I have an entry for each article, meeting, etc. grouped into convenient clusters that allow for easy retrieval. The ability to drag media into Journler entries is nice too; you can even capture and embed a quick audio or video recording in-program if that's your thing. Often I'll find myself sketching out a quick chart or diagram and including it--on the fly--in a Journler entry with a simple click/drag. It's not the prettiest program out there, and there are plenty of features that I never use, but for my needs Journler gets the job done. » POSTED IN:
