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

Notebook is an amazing product, in that every word in indexed, and placed on index pages, with the page references where that word appears, hypertext linked into the source page. Search is extremely powerful, allowing almost any combination of search criteria to find your entries. Screaming fast, the product becomes an indispensable tool, not only in the classroom, but in studying. It supports not only text entry, but graphics as well. Create pages or sections by class, subject or whatever. Spectacular for educational uses, and even business documentation. Nothing like it - totally freeform, with just the right amount of structure, and extensive use of the power of the computer as something more than a place to capture text. http://www.circusponies.com/ The academic license is $30 - $20 off the regular price. » POSTED IN:
