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

 Yojimbo does allow picturesSubmitted by benbr on October 1, 2007 - 1:16pm.
I use Yojimbo for project notes (one big textfile for a project). You mentioned not being able to use images in Yojimbo, but you can drag picture into you Yojimbo and place them wherever you like in the text. I've also written papers in Yojimbo, including diagrams (handy because I could sneak in a little work at the office and sync the changes with my home computer later). Gideon mentioned some trouble syncing Yojimbo. I can't deny his experience, but I haven't had any trouble syncing my Yojimbo files with either .Mac or my new .mac alternative, SyncTogether. » POSTED IN:
