OneNote equivalent for Mac?

Question

I just recently bought a Mac. Before I bought it, I was looking at the different 2007 Office versions for Windows (I downloaded a trial version of it). While I never actually used OneNote, the concept of it sounded great for me. However, in the Mac's Office version there is no OneNote (or anything like it that I can see). Is there something similar to it that would help me to organize my notes (I did read somewhere that some of the OneNote features were built into Office for Mac, but I'm not sure if this is correct)?

Answer 1

There is no OneNote for Mac so you must choose something else and see if it satisfies your needs. If you search Yahoo or Google for "OS X note organizer", you will find at least six similar products. One that seems close to OneNote is Note Studio. Link is below.

OS X comes with iCal but that is calendar related and not designed for making long notes.

Years ago I took notes in a simple text program and bookmarked them in Netscape. I used this "database" for all my tech support notes when I worked for Dell and later for Apple. I got a lot of "Hey, that's very handy and quick" remarks from my co-workers. Several even copied my method. I could share the notes over our network and the recipient could then make his own bookmarks.

Most notes come in handy when you are out and about. Wouldn't you want something that will work on a mobile phone, Blackberry, Palm Pilot or iPhone?
