What's New
Version 3.1.2:
- The Ink toolbar item menu now contains a command to turn off stroke smoothing, so that mouse and stylus strokes appear as they did before 3.1.

- The contextual menu for text links to documents outside of a Notebook now includes a Reveal in Finder command.
- Fixed a problem where NoteBook would sometimes display an error message when clicking on a page's name in the Multidex instead of taking you to a Divider page that contained the page.

From simple tasks to massive projects, Circus Ponies NoteBook handles it all, so you can stop spending hours doing what should take just minutes.
Here are four ways NoteBook will save you time every day:
Keep Everything Organized in One Place:
- With NoteBook, you create electronic notebooks to hold your information, perhaps one per class, task, or project. A notebook is a familiar and natural way to keep things organized, and saves time just like a paper notebook saves time over notes and documents piled on your desk or stuffed in a drawer.
- Whether research on the web or to-dos in e-mail, just select and clip it to a page in your Notebooks. Clipping happens in the background so you aren't thrown into another app and forced to spend time regaining your train of thought. And when doing web research NoteBook saves the page's URL with each clipping, so you don't waste time later trying to get back to that page.
- The Finder was designed to work with documents, so it's difficult to add a simple note to a project folder. And if you've ever tried to organize documents in the Finder you've probably resorted to elaborate naming schemes to force them to appear in a particular order. Even after all of this effort, it's still just a long list of stuff.
- With NoteBook, pages can contain not only text, but also attachments, so you can keep your project's documents right with your notes, stored directly within the Notebook. Double-click an attachment to open and edit it in the app that created it.
- NoteBook's patented Multidex helps you quickly find things based on what little you remember about them. So if you're looking for a note that mentions someone's name you might see it on the Capitalized Words page. Or if you remember you entered it last Thursday the Creation Dates page shows you everything you added to your Notebook last Thursday. And so on. No more time wasted sifting through hundreds of results from a simple text search.
- The minutes NoteBook saves you each day add up to extra hours each week.
- Take notes using a full-featured outliner, multi-font text, even attachments. Build diagrams from shapes and lines. Create sketches with your fingers.
- Never miss a detail from a meeting or lecture with voice-annotated notes. NoteBook records the person speaking as you type your notes, and can start playback from any note you typed. Review the recording at a later date and fill in anything you missed, or listen to it again on your iPod or iPhone.
- "Clip" selections into your Notebooks without leaving the application you're working in. Great for web research.
- Annotate class notes and other PDFs. Insert PDFs as separate pages in your Notebook, then apply shapes, sketches and text notes to mark-up them up. A great way to take notes in class!
- Keep notes organized your way, not as lists of notes. NoteBook's natural "notebook" interface keeps your notes organized using pages, sections and subsections, just as you would with a paper notebook.
- Find anything instantly. NoteBook's patented Multidex helps you locate your notes by what little you remember about them: a name, a number, the date you entered them. Find any note with just a few taps.
- Share your Notebooks as PDFs, or as websites published on the web or via your .Mac account.
- Access your Notebooks on the go, or on your desk. Work with your Notebooks on your Mac, then pick up where you left off on your iPad using the iPad version of NoteBook.

Only annoying thing is that it has a weird startup where it minimizes and unminimizes notebooks repeatedly, and in the end doesn't bring the notebook you started it with (clicked on) to the front. Its trying to remember the last session but kinda seems confused...

Also, it is a pity that this product has stagnated so much. Still no true concept-maps, cloning, etc. Like their rival, NoteTaker, they have lost the ball.
Scrivener seems promising...

Not that Scrivener can't be used as a task management or concept/organization/planning app - it just sounds silly to complain about something because it can't do what it wasn't designed to do, before saying that you'll switch to another app that was definitely not designed to do what you want it to do.

I've never experienced the issues you are having and one person's bad experience does not conclude this app is bad. It's actually very intuitive and has a lot of great options when you get the hang of it. The only concrete complaint you've made is about the bullets... which I don't think is enough to demerit the entire app. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

As for the location of the NoteBook files, they are here:
Users/Username/Library/Application Support/NoteBook
Users/Username/Library/Caches/com.circusponies.NoteBook.plist
Users/Username/Library/Preferences/com.circusponies.NoteBook.plist
Users/Username/LibraryPreferences/com.circusponies.NoteBookMac.plist
Users/Username/Library/Spotlight/NoteBook.mdimporter
Doing any of the above may not help at all, but it's just a suggestion. Trashing the preference files usually helps me in the case of many apps acting funky.
The crashing issue may just simply be an issue of coding. Sorry that you're having troubles.

There are two things to try before giving an app a bad revew: Find the preferences file in your library/prefrences and delete.
If that doesn't help—trash the app and try downloading a fresh copy. The repair permissions, just to be safe. Despite current pop lore, messed up permissions can seriously hang up an app.
CP Notebook is not generally a crashy app. In fact, most Mac apps, unless released too soon, are not.

I have recently completed a Masters using Notebook as my single repository of notes. The inbuilt search engine made revision even easier. Also the list of services enabled to allow the capture of URLs, AAV resources provides power to do almost anything.
While Circus ponies provides ample resources to learn the application, parts of the functionality are not really intuitive. However, time spent reviewing these resources is rarely wasted. The recent addition of an iPad companion app increases the use of the application in a mobile environment as well.
I initially found the price of the app a little expensive, but when I started to understand all the functionality in the application I can comprehend the charge.
