It’s been about a year since Microsoft released (and I reviewed), which was,, available only from the. Over the past 14 or so months Microsoft has made numerous incremental changes to the app, adding or updating features and making the app more versatile and, perhaps, making it a better note taking choice than the everpresent. Whether OneNote is suitable as an Evernote replacement for you will depend largely on what you use Evernote for. For me, as I’ve used OneNote over the past year, I find it to be the tool that best suits my needs. And I say this after attempting to use Evernote (in stops and starts) many times since I first the original iOS version of the app several years ago.

But, mind you, I have very specific note taking needs. I’m using it to create large text documents with disparte but linked bits of information that I want to be easily shared and simple to navigate. I don’t use many media files and I’m not “collecting” information, which is something Evernote excels at. For me, OneNote, while imperfect, is a perfect solution. Organizational genius: OneNote isn’t perfect, but it offers powerful tools for creating sophisticated, interlinked documents. OneNote is still free, so, while it comes as a part of, you don’t need Office 2016 or an Office 365 subscription to use the app.

But you do need a account in order to save documents, as there is still no way to use a file saved locally on your Mac. Fortunately, Microsoft still offers free OneDrive accounts with 25GB of storage.

Your freeform typing is added to a text box that, once you enter text, can be rearranged, formatted, and organized on a page.

PDF files, Office documents, text files, and images can all be added to OneNote pages with a drag and drop. One of the things that makes OneNote excellent is the option it offers for linking to both internal and external references. As you might expect it’s easy to add links to web sites by adding a hyperlink to a page, but what I find most beneficial is how you can link other pages within any current Notebooks or to Pages that are part of completely different Notebooks.

This kind of Notebook linking capability allows you to create highly sophisticated documents that have both internal and external references OneNote is not perfect. It still lags behind the Windows versions with relation to features and capabilities. For example, in the Windows version of OneNote you can add an Excel document to a page, open the document, make changes to the spreadsheet, save it, and see those changes reflected in OneNote. If you open the same Notebook in OneNote for Mac you can see the same information, but you can only open a read-only copy of the Excel document.
