This last week, I’ve spent more time than I care to admit to, in checking out several Free Note Taking apps to see which one is the best one for me. Personally, I need help to organize my daily ‘To Do’ Tasks, my ‘Things to Fix’ tasks, and also to Collect and Save text, images and audio when researching new topics to write about – and a dozen other things I need to do, to organize my day – home and office, and become efficient, and more productive.Įvernote : Simply the Best! By far.

Aside from that it’s a great app: it has an Apple Watch app, a Today widget in iOS, a Mac menubar quick-note facility, dictate/transcribe, and more.There are many free Note Taking software apps available today.

Free apps I like include FSNotes and Google Keep (or the very similar Zoho Notebook), but font choice and theming is limited or nonexistent.Īnd of course there are many pay/subscription apps out there.Įarlier this year I spent $7.98 to unlock the pro/synced versions of SnipNotes for Mac and iOS (iOS app is a free download), and although I like it a lot and was hoping to use it as an Apple Notes replacement (it has some nice features like document-counts for folders and an Inbox - so I can see which docs are currently unfiled) I didn’t realize that the app doesn’t yet take attachments like PDFs, only jpegs.

There are lots of good Mac/iOS options for basic note taking, starting with Apple Notes which is surprisingly capable. Probably not worth the subscription price for you then. Is Ulysses good for that kind of thing too? Notes aren’t that sophisticated, usually things like meeting notes or jotting down ideas. I cannot recommend Scrivener for a general note taking app, but it is fantastic when making notes for a document being written in Scrivener! I moved my notes into Scrivener, which since I write in Scrivener was always the obvious place to keep them.

But then Notebook broke with a new Mac OS version. Now I used Circus Ponies Notebook when I needed to have notes for writing. It’s actually a closer substitute for One Note. I did a search and found Growly Notes, which at the time cost some money but is now free. Then I was underjoyed when Circus Ponies closed. Also it was incapable of saving locally and I couldn’t save to the cloud because of corporate security. I was overjoyed when One Note came out for the Mac until I tried it and found it had fewer features than the Windows version and the files could not be shared between them. I was a big One Note user in Windows, and basically “settled” for Circus Ponies Notebook for the Mac.

The first is Growly Notes which is free and works very much like Microsoft One Note.

I’m late to the party listening to this episode, but want to add two other note apps to the list. Not really sure what it’ll offer compared to something out for years like open-source FSNotes aside possibly from including some existing Terpstrian Markdown tools.

I am unsure what is new that is unique in this upcoming app, especially compared to apps already offering nvALT features plus additional ones like better or user-created themes, or WYSIWYG, or cross-platform, or attachments. Terpstra’s nvALT fork of Notational Velocity supported MultiMarkdown, tags, and a 3rd-party browser-clipping extension. I assume we’ll see speed and well-implemented searching/tagging but aside from that I’m not sure the hype I’ve seen from Mac technoscenti will be justified. I’ll be interested to see what they come up with but from what I’ve seen so far (and from quietness from beta testers) there aren’t going to be any surprises (eg backlinks) beyond what’s been shown. Between him and Penney they’ve made some very useful, geeky tools over the years, emphasis on geeky. I own Marked/Marked2 (not used much these days, though) and I regularly use one of Terpstra’s PopClip conversion extensions.
