Thoughts for Mac OS X – journaling, organizing and managing notes and information
The problem with being someone interested in note taking and management software is people send you links to software. That’s not really a problem, but I feel like I am disappointing the readers when I don’t enthuse over someone’s favorite software. I’m going to tell you now that I am an EagleFiler man. It has all the note taking tools I need, and what I need more is the file management that comes with EagleFiler, so I am not likely to change ship. More of my thoughts on Thoughts after the break.
If I were likely to change ship, then Thoughts by Green and Slimy software would likely be my go to note taking software. Thoughts is very much like Circus Ponies Notebook, or Microsoft’s OneNote. Each note database is a book and the UX is very much like a 3 ring binder.
This metaphor is over used in this product space, but that’s what people like I guess. This software was developed in Vienna, and their website is a little rough on the english, but it is all very intelligible.
Central to the theme of thoughts is the bookshelf, and here is where you create your notebooks. If you get the demo, you will find it to be limiting, 3 books with 3 pages only, and only for a limited time, but you should be able to tell if it is worth the 24 euros.
Am I jumping ship? No, there is nothing here compelling enough for me to switch from EagleFiler. However, if this was available when I switched back to the Mac from Windows, then It would be on my Dock. If you need a note taking and management program and you are used to a notebook metaphor, then this might be the program for you.
