    Is there a Mac application that is equivalent to OneNote?

    If there are multiple ones what do you recommend? This will be used for university note taking.

    Howdy. This is my first post and my iBook G4 is chugging along under Tiger.

    NoteTaker is a similar app...

    Also, Word for Mac (2004 and 2008) offers a Notebook Layout view which appears to be a subset of OneNote...including note flags and audio recordings.

    I'd tried all these solutions... Nothing comes really close to how awesome OneNote is (especially on a tablet PC).

    But I've used Mori as a free option for a while, and it's not bad. Some people like Voodoo Pad. The pro version is supposed to be a LOT better than the free one.

    Another option is Microsoft's new Project tool in Office 08. I've played with it a bit and find it REALLY nice. It lets you integrate all your office documents, including email into a "Project". It's really slick. If I was still in school, I'd use it in a heartbeat over anything else. Then again, I have not used it extensively, but it really is nice from what I've seen. For instance, you can tag emails and word docs for one project while setting due dates and reminders through entourage for a particular project. Nice when dealing with many different projects.
