Control Your Information!

The combination of the OS X and iOS app for Notebooks is a huge win. In the desktop environment your files are stored in ordinary folders in the file system, so you can access them directly from other applications and the command line as needed. Documents created by Notebooks are stored in non-proprietary formats so you’re never limited / locked in to one application. Syncing with DropBox allows you to take notes, capture images, etc. from your iPad of iPhone in a meeting and have them on your desktop before you get back, and of course all of your existing documents will be available on all devices for reference any time.

I use Notebooks to manage documents for multiple projects and have used the desktop app since early beta versions. If you like to have full control of your documents but still have the ability to work with them on both OS X and iOS, you’ll certainly want to check out this app. The developers have been very responsive to questions and have a good vision of where they want to take the app going forward (check the iOS app for some additional features I’d expect in the desktop app soon).

The desktop app by itself is a 5 star application, but combined with the iOS version you need an extra star or two!
