Whilst I’ve previously not heard of GrowlyBird software, the product appears to be a decent enough one-note clone. Whether it will ever be developed sufficiently to perform syncs with iCloud/DropBox etc remains to be seen. An IOS implementation would, I suspect, remain something of a dream unless Notes sold like hot cakes and there was a proven demand for it.
CP Notebook it is a bit clunky and, MS OneNote is one of the few things I can envy Windows users for…
NoteBook may have a different approach from OneNote, but it is the original model “imitated” by Microsoft. It is very flexible, even if I agree it could receive some refreshing after so many years.
If you like freeform, you can also give a look to Springpad. I think it’s brilliant, even if it might not be what you are looking for.
CP Notebook could do with a complete revamp as could NoteTaker - a similar app. As I recall both originated on NEXT.
What I liked about Growly Notes is the ability to create horizontal tabs with individual items listed down the sidebar; similar to OneNote which seems to have got it right. Add in the seamless cloud sync ability and MS are onto a winner.
Yojimbo is OK (and simple compared to DevonNote which for my usage is overkill) but at present BareBones are having a great deal of trouble working through iCloud sync and, at present the iPad version will sync over WiFi but won’t allow direct data entry.
Really the perfect note taking app is the one that works for you.
In my view, the best choice as a OneNote replacement on a Mac is Curio. I wrote about that in the review I did for Mac Appstorm. If you’re interested, you can read it here:
