One word

EVERNOTE

I went though an entire month review and demoing note taking software Evernote won out. Like most I have a mac at home and a PC at work. With Evernote I have my notes where ever I am. On my phone, my PC, my MAC even my Ipod touch all have native clients. If you find you self on an unsupported platform just pop up a web browser.

wikipad is a good alternative. Installing on Mac is not easy but it should be possible. It is an open source project. I have used it on windows, it is great.

When it comes to a note-taking software program,
“Consider the following three critical criteria

Ease of Use;
Functionality;
Flexibility of the Data (your notes) and the Software itself.

On the last one, is the data proprietary? If yes, bad, other than that tool you won’t be able to do much with you valuable notes. Would other developers be able to add Add-ons like Mozzila’s Firefox?
If yes, then the note-taking software’s capability would not be confined by the limited resource of the software company.

Can any of these applications be synced or backed up on the net?

I still find Google Notebook to be the best, if only they have a widget for OSX, that would be super!

Then again I’m worried about having all my data in Google, I just had my contacts mysteriously disappear and there seems to be no way of getting Google’s attention to the matter.

Another great web-based app is Springnote (http://www.springnote.com). It’s totally free and it’s got a ton of great features that makes note taking a breeze. Highly recommended!

Josh, I don’t quite understand why in your mind outliners (and thus OminOutliner) aren’t apt for serious note-taking. I recommend a look at the older but excellent Outliner column over at ATPM.

BTW, Circus Ponies NoteBook and Mori are outliners, too!

If you write an acticle on *that* subject and present a so seemingly random pick of app, you have to be prepared to take some criticism for that. Calling a text editor like WriteRoom a note-taking app, for example, is a bit strange—if so, where are TextMate, BBEdit, TextWrangler etc.? And where *are* the DEVON apps? Where’s EagleFiler? Where’s VoodooPad? Notae? NoteTaker? The list could go on …

Tackling *such* a topic and on the Mac, a plattform that might very well have more note-taking apps (in a broad sense) than any other platform, and not going the full way is kind of bound to evoke critical remarks—don’t you think? ;-)

Luminotes is another great notetaking application. It’s a personal wiki, so it’s not only great for quickly jotting down notes, but it’s also designed for making connections between your notes so you can keep them organized. Sort of like your own personal Wikipedia.

(Disclaimer: I’m the developer of Luminotes. But of course I also use it for my own notes!)

Anyway, check it out at http://luminotes.com/

Please, please note that the possessive form of “it” does not take an apostrophe.

Try ubernote. It's Firefox compatible so you can use it on the mac or pc. Good as a one stop solution if you use multiple cross OS computers. www.ubernote.com

I suppose I was … but I think OL clearly does more than write lists, and can act as a supreme note-taker — with out pretending to be a full word processor. Many others have used it with kGTD to get-things-done.

I retract my “a waste” and replace it with “a shame”. I’ve been searching for a basic comparison chart for software in this broad amorphous category, and your article does the job fairly well. Omnigroup has been a leader in this category, however, so I guess it’s a shame they weren’t included, oh well.

@ Panamajack: OmniOutliner is just that, an “outliner”. It creates lists.

This article was written to cover note taking applications…not outlining applications.

Calling the entire article “a waste” is a bit sensationalist don’t you think?

Disappointing this review didn’t compare the already many mentioned Omnioutliner …. kinda makes the article a waste.
