It’s not all just Evernote vs OneNote anymore. To find the best Evernote alternatives, we tested and used over 30 apps, reviewed top threads on Reddit, and consulted reviews on G2 to hear what the community had to say. Other times your notes are prepared at length at your computer over a large project, meeting, or study session.Įvernote is fine, generally-speaking - but you’re not just anyone, and your notes aren’t just any notes. Sometimes a note is a quick thought, jotted down on-the-go on a mobile device. Some are taken and never looked at again. Still, search for the best note-taking app and you’ll invariably find Evernote at the top of most lists. It has as much to do with how your mind works as it does with what you’re taking notes about and why you’re taking them in the first place. You really don’t have to pay for very much at all if you don’t want to.Note-taking is personal. ![]() All the apps that come free with the MacBook are also pretty awesome - I hadn’t realised you get such a plethora of useful utilities, such as Notes, TextEdit, Grab and so on, not to mention the increasingly powerful iWork trio (the online versions of which have just been updated yet again now much better than Google docs IMHO). I haven’t got round to downloading/comparing Outline yet (one of my favourite iPad apps), but probably will once my CRIMPing frenzy really takes hold. Then of course there’s Microsoft OneNote. Others worth mentioning are Metanota Pro (rather elegant minimal version of Ulysses, I suppose you could call it), and Day One (I use this journal software on iPad, but the Mac version is very nice indeed, especially the little reminder feature, which positively encourages you to diarise your life!). Notebooks on Mac is actually rather better than it is on PC (faster, for one thing), and Tree is as good as I hoped it would be. Other goodies I’m trying are Ulysses III (nice, very nice, although lack of table support is a little disappointing) and Scrivener, which is positively awesome (not to say overwhelming) on Mac. NoteSuite also has a rather nice little widget-thingy that sits in the Mac menu bar and allows you to make quick notes, todos etc., but Growly Notes has a better search function.īest of all, the very nice and responsive developer says he’s working away on the iPad version, which is very good news. I still have to test that out with foreign-language PDFs, mind you. Although it’s Mac only, it gives OneNote a run for its money - in particular, by offering a very nice ‘Print to Growly Notes’ feature that embeds PDFs in the actual page and then indexes them so the full-text search function can find them. The new version is astonishingly cool and quick, with a great search function. NoteSuite is rather elegant on the Mac, but my unexpected favourite du jour is the amazingly modestly priced Growly Notes, which has been completely rewritten since it was being given away a few years ago. Some of them will have to wait, because they’re rather expensive (I’m looking at you, OmniOutliner), but others have already been subjected to a bit of serious tyre-bashing. , I’ve been trying out all kinds of interesting note managers. Well, now my lovely MacBook Air has arrived >and therefore the end of my interest for this app. Unfortunately, for me anyway, it’s MAS only and therefore the end of my interest for this app. If Growly Bird comes out with the iPad version mentioned in the App Store release notes, Growly Notes might be a contender in the catch-all notebook category. $4.99 (U.S.) isn’t a bad price for a moderately feature-rich notebook app that has hints of Circus Ponies, Curio, and OneNote. Growly Notes (for Mac) recently released version 2 on the App Store. ![]()
