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

I am taking a class this semester and went back and forth between a lot of apps. Eventually I settled on using Basecamp + WriteRoom. I created a project called "reading and notes" and one for each assignement. In theory it works pretty well. It turns out that my instructor doesn't allow laptop use during class! argh. Anyway it's worked really well outside of class. Another choice would have been Scrivener. » POSTED IN:
