Product Description:

NoteTaker is powerful new OS X software 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.

NoteTaker's user interface metaphor uses a visually rich "spiral" notebook pages with section tabs. Some users will simply have one tab and a long list of outlines while others will organize entire project and research journals with many sections and many pages within those tab sections. And it makes no difference how you decide to organize and use NoteTaker, it's flexible yet easy to understand. It's like having electronic paper on your OS X desktop.

In short, NoteTaker applications are unlimited. From managing the daily to do list information to sharing a project team binder across the Internet, NoteTaker becomes the software of our everyday lifestyle. Use it to communicate ideas. Organize personal information. Keep a project journal. Think on paper. NoteTaker is software you'll want to use every single day.

What's new in this version:

New Features
  • A new Preferences tab called "Web" allows the specification of web server, web notebook locations, and global Web Notebook options.
Enhancements
  • The Preferences panel has been modified to use a standard OS X toolbar using buttons with icons and labels.
  • The "Copy Page URL" and "Copy Entry URL" commands now include HTML and RTF representations on the pasteboard, with the notebook name as the text for the link.
Fixes
  • Fixed problem causing RSS feeds to fail to display, if they claim to be UTF-8 but contain non UTF-8 characters
  • Fixed bugs related to creation and display of movie attachments.
  • Fixed bug in web notebook updating. If an Index section was present but not all index pages were included in the web notebook export, the entire web notebook was being updated on every save (instead of just the changed portions).
  • Fixed issue causing blurred rendering of QuickTime controls (and possibly other attachments) on ruled pages.
  • Fixed issue causing unfilled areas in the attribute column background after certain actions on ruled pages, with line spacing > 0.
  • Fixed issue with tabbing between fields in the license panel.
  • Fixed issue with page marks that point to the Contents page of a notebook.
  • Fixed bug causing premature deletion of docked page mark and folio files that had been dragged directly from the toolbar.
  • Fixed problem with translation of internal notebook links to web notebooks.
  • Fixed issue causing Index page entries to be editable.
  • Fixed issue with templates created from collapsed entries.

NoteTaker ReviewA Powerful Free-form Database with Outlining - Version: 1.9.15, 6/19/2007 11:25PM PST

I have used (and paid for) Omni Outliner, NoteBook, and NoteTaker. I've experimented extensively with all three, and I believe each application is a fine example of good coding. However, I have come to the conclusion that NoteTaker is the best of the the bunch. It offers users a wide array of options and features that are just not available with the other products.

From an organizational standpoint, I love NoteTaker's use of the "drawer" which offers an always-available display of notebook contents, history, and a library of other notebooks. I like the application's integration with the internet, Apple's iApps, and AppleScript.

Clipping services are handled with skill by the application. The way NoteTaker implements "clipping services" is more intuitive than the other applications.

Think of NoteTaker as a free-form database with outlining capabilities. It's strength is in its ability to break out of the outline structure (unlike Omni Outliner) and act as a repository for thoughts, information, and date in various formats. NoteBook makes a valient attempt to achieve this kind of flexible power, but it doesn't quite achieve NoteTaker's sophistication. NoteBook offers users elegant simplicity at the expense of some of NoteTaker's more sophisticated features and options.

Frankly, NoteTaker is not without it's faults. I would like to see a more rapid launch time (both Omni Outliner and NoteBook are faster). Likewise, NoteBook manages images in a notebook with greater finesse.

However, all-in-all, NoteTaker is the superior application.

Just an aside: The developers are very responsive. For example, this evening I reported a problem I was having with the positioning of a notebook within my display screen on applicaiton start up. I had a response from the support team with within eleven minutes. You've got to give them credit for responsiveness!

I've been using NoteTaker for a few weeks and recently ran into a puzzling problem. My emails were responded to swiftly (within the hour), intelligently, and the problem, which was on my end, was identified, explained and fixed efficiently. And all at around 11pm EST! Kudos---

NoteTaker ReviewThis would be a great program if - Version: 1.9.10, 3/29/2006 11:23AM PST

This would be a great program if a couple of things were changed.

(1) It needs to be multiuser. We use it in a law office for client management, but the fact that it is not multiuser limits us considerably.

(2) The user interface is non-standard and we spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do things. Apple has a great standard interface, why not use it?
