The down side is lack of OCR and dealing with PDF (annotation in general and non-destructive annotations - Evernote wasn’t great with annotations). The folder structure and ability to mix media in a page / note is helpful. OneNote is where I will keep some light notes for work projects and organize information for projects and some papers I working on.

I used it heavily for years, now it mostly gathers dust except when I travel and tuck travel docs in their for easy access (much of its purpose other than OCR I now use with Dropbox and Box). The combo of one of these, Curio for planning/organising and DevonThink for info collection seems to be working out quite wellĮvernote is sort of an archive of important docs, use for OCR to search against, but not a note taking app for me. The nest I’ve found for actual note taking are iThoughts (Mac and IOS - mindmapping but good for notes) and. Curio has no IOS equivalent, which is a problem for me. I’m now trying Curio for organising information (the next update will search DevonThink directly - big plus), but I haven’t yet found a reply good notetaker. There’s a thing called Outline which has a similar UI to OneNote but better functionality. I tried Notebooks, but it doesn’t work for me.

I used Circus Ponies Notebook for years, but it’s dead (even though it still works). I like OneNote, but there’s something about the UI that makes it hard for me to use. I switched because (a) I don’t like the way EN is going and (b) I can keep y data on my own server, instead of ENs. I’ve just switched from Evernote to DevonThink for collecting information - works and syncs really well, great searching and a lot of additional scripts - also, really very good support.
