NoteBook

Version: 3.0 || Release Date: 2008-10-18 || License: Commercial with demo ($49.95)

Are you drowning in sticky notes? Is your desktop cluttered with files? Do you remember where to find that important web clipping? Circus Ponies NoteBook is the award-winning application that helps Mac users manage all those bits of information that lack a good home: from the notes, clippings, and to dos of your life to the e-mails, diagrams and spreadsheets of that important project. With NoteBook you create electronic notebooks, with sections and subsections, to hold it all. Add notes and other text. Drag in files and folders. "Clip" web pages and other content without leaving the application you're working in. Annotate your information with highlighting, keywords, even voice recordings. Find anything instantly with just a few clicks using NoteBook's patented indexing system. Then convert it all to PDF, or to HTML and publish directly to your .Mac account or elsewhere on the web.

"Macworld's buying advice: ...to organize all your Mac thoughts — text, image, sound, web links — you should plump for Circus Ponies NoteBook: an app so Mac-like that the name should get the 'i' prefix." -- Richard Dyce, Macworld UK (4.5 stars)

Dear mlivingstone,

I couldn't find NoteBook in the SmileOnMyMac website (as for now, June 3rd, it is 1Password only), but was happy to find it include in the current MacUpdate Spring Promo: http://www.mupromo.com/

And that TechTool Pro and Parallels are included as well — does not make it worse! ;-)

PS: I get no benefit from mentioning this, other than feeling good having told you…! ;-)))

At first glance a handy collector of all kinds of information, attention has been lacking for the details:
-iCal writes not syncs
-no table formatting
-clumsy positioning of graphics
-no proper pasting inside the application
-non standard keyboard shortcuts
-formatting for regular printouts is not very intuitive
-no localization
Sorry but this for $50 and v3 this is not acceptable.

Notebook is exactly what I was looking for. I've undertaken a lengthy, complex research project and I need to pull in disparate content--images, text, movies, PDF files, web page clippings, e-mail clippings--and organize it. And, it's an outlining tool. It's important to be able to do both.

I have used this app for a few months now and had no problems with it until recently when I used it for a big uni report. I had several serious issues when editing a page outside of the main window (using the 'open in new window' feature) where the page was not saved correctly and could not be opened by NoteBook anymore. I lost hours of work because of this and am highly disappointed

I cannot recommend this app for any kind of critical work.

I have used this since it first came out some years ago. The improvement to clippings, and the choice of page formats from text, outline with text comments and full outline, has really made it for me. I'm a speaker who also writes a lot and does papers and research. I really like being able to dump material into a point of first reference, rather than creating a lot of files.

WISH (unlikely tho) I have to work a lot in various Windows environments. I would like my Notebook to be online, like Evernote, and accessible on more than one platform and on a flash drive.

Maybe I'll have to shell out for a macbook and take that around with me . . .

In addition to my last post: I'd very much appriciate to get a germ localization of this app. If there are more germanspeaking people around here, please tell the developper. I have this done and got the answer that this is an issue they hope to get done ...

I use NoteBook since about 3 years. Love espacially the clipping services.
Now there is v. 3.0 of the great app and brings lots of new promising festures.
Have a look and try it.
