OneNote is a great app for taking notes, organizing ideas, and much more.  There are several versions available for different platforms such as Windows, Windows Phone, iOS, and a few more.  Today, Microsoft announced that OneNote will be free and a version for Mac users will also be available.

From their announcement:

  1. OneNote for Mac is available for the first time and for free. With this, OneNote is now available on all the platforms you care about: PC, Mac, Windows tablets, Windows Phone, iPad, iPhone, Android and the Web. And they’re always in sync.
  2. OneNote is now free everywhere including the Windows PC desktop and Mac version because we want everyone to be able to use it. Premium features are available to paid customers.
  3. The OneNote service now provides a cloud API enabling any application to connect to it. This makes it easier than ever to capture ideas, information and inspirations from more applications and more places straight into OneNote, including:
  • OneNote Clipper for saving web pages to OneNote

I've tried Evernote several times, never cared for it.  OneNote is real good, and I think it's one of the best apps for this type of task.

I really use it for everydays work, taking notes at costomers, doing to-do lists and even for my shopping-lists. Great program. In comjunction with onedrive even better.

The Mac version is not ready for prime time yet. Th web Clipper utility needs to be integrated into the right-click menu and not able to "Clip Selection" as you can with Evernote.
