Your Mac’s Best List Of Personal Notebooks.

NotebookENCORE Review: The Mac is all about getting things done. It’s the digital GTD machine for the rest of us to get things done.

What do you use to organize and track your notes? An outliner, organizer, notebook?

All of the above? Stop looking. Here’s my favorite list of Mac notebooks, from high end to low end and in between.

Organizing, note taking, outlining are all personal ventures on the Mac. It is, after all, the most personal of personal computers.

Most of us.... (excerpted).

I am using a combination of Soho Notes, OmniOutliner and Sticky Notes. I would switch to Circus Ponies Notebook given all the good reviews but wish it had a “post to blog” feature like Soho Notes does. It looks like Notetaker has the feature but you have to buy a separate product to do it making it a very expensive solution.

I don’t know of a notebook app that does was CircusPonies’ notebook does. I tried MacJournal. It’s a clumsy imitation. I tried Yojimbo, too, but it’s not really a notebook app, more of a catch all.

I’ll tell you what I like about Mori, is the free form organization. You’re not stuck with a specific format for files and folders. This is one category where simple is good, but it’s easy to outgrow apps with limited features. I always seemed to want it to do more.

Some of these have steep learning curves.

I wouldn’t put Journler or MacJournal in the same category as the notebooks in the article. Different beasts. Notebooks have different purpose and feature sets than journals. Journler doesn’t hold a candle to Circus Ponies Notebook.

My favorite ‘lite’ notebook was Mori until HogBaySoftware sold it to some clown who forgot how to add features.
