PS - Yep, I know I can run OneNote in Parallels (and did for a long while!), but the constantly running a heavy virtual machine for only a note-taking app has made it not worth it.

So while I love my Mac, I sorta wish I had a PC back for a perfectly integrated OneNote for faster, intuitive note-taking that just works. The more keyboard friendly, the more likely my mile-a-minute brain will actually jot it down in my notes system, which keeps me more focused on working than trying to remember. Maybe it’s just me, but the first one is way more intuitive.In OneNote, you type an asterisk (*) and then just hit space.Bullets and quick notes go together like tabasco ‘n eggs.Now I have a calculator app open all the time too.

OneNote had become my quick shopping notebook: I was constantly pricing out tech equipment or software apps (okay, I need 3 users for our team, at $35 a month, plus a fee…), and quick addition plus quick tables makes cost comparison charts faster than Bruce Lee in an ice factory. Once you get used to the idea that you can type 3218+340= and the answer automagically appears… you start getting frustrated with every other text editor on the planet that isn’t as smart. Tables aren’t a special graphical feature in OneNote, they’re part of the normal thought flow: as easy as typing a sentence. No need to define how many rows you want in advance, shading preferences, or spacing details. You type a word, hit TAB, and you’re already in column two. To create a table in OneNote, you press TAB. OneNote still has these features that I haven’t found elsewhere: Quickest Tables Ever

It’s about the tiniest keyboard shortcuts or convenience options that make recording that note just a little bit more friction-free. And of course there’s the Mac Notes app itself-now with less faux torn paper than ever (thanks Mavericks!)īut for me, keeping organized in a Notes app is more than the essentials of a instant-save, searchable and sync-able notebook (though all of those are musts). I regularly have my Mac friends point me towards Evernote or trendier or even nerdier options. Sure, I know there are Mac apps designed to catch those notes and links and information clutter that pile up. Today is my two year anniversary switching from a corporate Dell to the Macbook Pro, and my wrists are still very much enjoying their luxury aluminum resting places.
