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.
