NoteTaker is for organizing your information lifestyle, your digital workstyle.
At its most basic level, NoteTaker is a personal note and idea organizer. With NoteTaker, you can make a list, organize an outline or jot down an idea. It's that basic. But with everyday work and lifestyle demands, our information needs are far more complex and diverse. And NoteTaker reflects this reality so that users can add and change the content and use of their information as needed.
Version 2.2.3:
Fixed a crash occurring in some Web Notebook creation events.

VIVIAN I have used this program for a little over a year. It is a feature rich program--the clipping and annotation feature is excellent and I really like the toolbar. Like others there are features that I would really like to see included in future updates--ical integration is high on the list as is a better table features. I use this along with circus ponies notebook. I use notetaker for teaching, it is offers far superior website and slideshow possibilities than notebook. But for my research, I use notebook, it is far easier to use when you are in an archive and taking 6-8 hours worth of notes at a time. I too agree that outliner features would be improved if it were more like omnioutliner. One major drawback is the absence of a user forum. I find it an annoyance to have rely on contacting the company every time there is a problem or I have a question. That approach seems wrong for a mac product.

MABELLE I've been using NoteTaker for quite a while now, and although it could use some improvement, I haven't found anything that does all that this app does. I teach, so I especially love the slideshow feature and the ability to post my notebooks to my website. It's clumsy on features (styles, fonts, multi-line), it needs tagging instead of (or in addition to) categories, but it's still very useful. I store documents so they're together with notes, thoughts, to-dos, mail (which i paste in). I've looked at Circus Ponies' Notebook. It's so much a clone of NoteTaker (which came first?) that I wonder why they don't marry their efforts. CP is marketing more aggressively and their website is better looking. Their product has a few features I like (more options in text features, different wallpapers) but not enough to make me switch away from Notetaker. Here's what's missing in both these programs: (1) better outlining - they should match some of the features of Omni Outliner (columns, notes) but leave off the complicated styling features, (2) calendar integration, (3) email integration. %80 of what comes across my desk is in email form. Why do I have to copy and paste emails between programs to keep mail, docs, notes, and calendar item in the same place. Yes, yes, I know: Entourage project. Hate it.

LEV Rather a silly remark of no value to anyone. If you can't afford it or don't want to pay for it, don't buy it. If you use it every day to run all sorts of projects and gather & collate masses of information, then the price is pretty much negligible.

TOMEM I've been looking at NoteTaker, NoteBook, VoodooPad, Journler, viJournal. NoteTaker could use some tweaks, but if you want all these things in one tool, it can't be beat: * Daily Journaling (not in Notebook, VoodooPad) * Daily To Do list management (not in VoodooPad, viJournal, Journler) * Light database note storage, categorizatoin, hyperlinking, report generaton. (not in Journler, viJournal) * A clipping service for gathering notes from other apps. (not in VoodooPad, Journler, viJournal) The tweaks I would like to see are a switch to Apple's toolbar configuration tool, a way to generate non-ToDos in a ToDo section (journal entries), and a link interface that defaults to generating a new page titled according to the link text.

ANON BUD Actually, VooDoo Pad CAN do all these things! I quit using Notetaker a few years ago precisely because I discovered VDP! Give it another try. You might be surprised.

TOMEM I do own and use VDP quite often. And it is temptingly programmable to do almost anything. But it doesn't do what I need gracefully for journaling and ToDos, and I'm not inclined to figure out how to train it...

DLFOSTER If Anon Pad could provide more info on how to train Voodoo Pad or point us to a tutorial on how to easily accomplish these tasks in that program, it would be much appreciated.

POKONYAN I now try this lovely NoteTaker. This includes almost all what I expected. However, one problem I face now. I have some outliner documents. All of them include some copies of images from PDF files. When I try to copy and paste the documents, the pages become messy, because the whole page (not only an image, but the whole page!) of the PDF pages showed up, If it works well, I'll get the license key. Does somebody tell me the resolution?

POOP1 Macjournal can do anything Note Taker can for the most part. Macjournal rocks and is far more useful and faster then Note Taker. Macjournal makes Note Taker obsolete, there's no comparison really MJ is way better and it cost alot less. (12/21/2005, Version: 1.9.9)

LEV This doesn't really help anyone. You are comparing two entirely different products that use different approaches to achieve different things. Perhaps you haven't had time to investigate NoteTaker properly (I would imagine that's the case since you don't mention any of its features) but in that case it might be fairer not to say anything at all. For anyone who doesn't know either app, NoteTaker is a broad and powerful information manager which uses a spiral-bound notebook metaphor. MacJournal is a journalling application. Comparing them as this "reviewer" has done is a bit like saying Word is pointless since you can enter text in Excel... Oh, the humanity...

SJK Hope you understand that claiming "MJ is way better" is a meaningless "recommendation" to anyone seriously interested in either product. It's a shame how much product commentary is shallow and opinionated.

ANONYMOUS I've used NT, not terribly extensively, and it I've been happy with it. It seems to fit the way I think. It's not infinitely flexible and I'm not using to design websites. It is nice that your work can become a website. That's not the same thing really. I like it.

ANONYMOUS Had a glitch with using an old license and tech support responded effectively within 12 hours! ANd on a weekend. Excellent! One limitation: 1.9 still does not seem to have the ability to add more than two levels (e.g Section and Page) on the Contents Page. NoteBook by Circus Ponies does. This matters greatly if you hope to output your notebook to a website or for longer documents.
