I hear that the Windows Phone app is pretty swell also.īottom line: don't change your notes system if it's working for you. There are obvious advantages to using OneNote on Windows, and for the low price of free, you can't lose by trying it out. You should give OneNote a try, on the Mac or PC. And it will be organized where I want it. I can configure what I need to and drop whatever I need to in it.

It collects everything I need it to, and it syncs to my devices for later use. As it stands, I'm not, but OneNote is still a great standalone app for me. If I was an Office user, I would be absolutely giddy over OneNote. OneNote interfaces with Office much better. I can put blocks of text, to-do lists, pictures, and anything else I want to - anywhere I want to.ģ. OneNote is also pretty great in the fact that it lets you type anywhere on the document open, almost giving you a canvas feel to the thing. With OneNote, everything is categorized into your tabs and then subdivided into your pages if you wish. I never bought into the tagging system - even with multiple tags on one note, I still didn't feel like everything was organized. From a basic functionality standpoint, OneNote does everything Evernote does for me. I will use whatever I deem is the best for me, no matter what company makes it.Ģ. What's weird is that after kicking Office to the curb six years ago, all this doesn't bother me one bit. Microsoft's stamp is all over the product and it should be - from Calibri font to the famed 'ribbon' for formatting at the top.

Then those tabs can be further subdivided into pages in that tab. In OneNote, you can add notebooks, which go down into tabs that you can color any way you want. I know that doesn't matter to some people as long as it's not ugly and it's great at what it does, but it matters to me.

I plan to do some comparing and contrasting of OneNote versus other note-taking platforms in the coming weeks, but I can faithfully say that I've found what I'm looking for.ġ.
