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 registered VoodooPad, CircusPonies Notebook, and DevonThink Pro. I also gave Yojimbo and OmniOutliner good workout. I can not get my random notes arranged in any kind of order that makes sense to me in VoodooPad. I found searching for anything in Notebook is klunky and frustrating. I just did not like Yojimbo. Search results would not easily drill down to the specified text in each note. OmniOutliner is a great product, but not too great for collecting and searching for notes. I have been tempted to try Journler but have not yet. It looks cool. I use Devonthink Pro. I do not love it, but it does what I need it to. I have not been able to find anything better to fit my needs. For something simple but pretty cool, check out iNotepad. » POSTED IN:
