• Zoho Notebook App For Windows

Zoho Notebook lets you create, aggregate, and collaborate on multiple types of content online. Zoho Notebook create different types of content, aggregate your information in one place, fine grained collaboration, and version control. Create content of type text, image, audio, and video. Embed content of any type from multiple applications. Share a whole book, page or just an object on a page by granting read/write permissions. Keep track of changes not only at the book or page level but also at the object level.

If you’ve been looking for an attractive and easy-to-use note-taking app that fits somewhere between Apple’s built-in Notes app and the leviathan that is Evernote, you might want to take a look at Zoho’s new free app for Mac. Zoho’s award-winning iOS app had been around for a while, and has also gained some very nice iOS updates recently such as an iMessage app, Siri search support, and even searching of audio notes using new APIs in iOS 10. This addition of a Mac app makes for a big step in providing a more comprehensive note-keeping solution. Users familiar with the iOS version will find that Notebook for macOS provides the same common user interface, with attractive, fun, and gesture-rich navigation brought over from the iOS side; two-finger trackpad pinches are used to open and close notebook and notes, and two-finger swipes can be used to swipe on a notebook for more information or to flick through grouped note cards. Notes can be given unique colors for quick identification, and a variety of cover styles are available for each notebook — or you can use any photo of your choice. Notebook lets you write text, add images, create checklists, and record audio, and all of these can be combined in the same note, or stored in individual note cards. Sketch notes from iOS will also sync to Mac and can be viewed, although editing support isn’t available yet on the macOS side.

If you’ve got a new MacBook Pro, Zoho has also baked in TouchBar and Touch ID support, so you can quickly change views and create note cards, access contextual options, and secure notes with Touch ID or password authentication. Sadly, there’s no integrated iCloud support for syncing between devices, so you’ll need to sign up for a free Zoho account — however, the cloud-based SaaS provider has a pretty solid infrastructure built on the foundation of its dozens of other SaaS products over the past few years, so they’re certainly not a new kid on the block when it comes to the cloud. I was an Evernote user for a long-time, but when Apple Notes came into its own in iOS 9, I actually just switched over to that, and it's been meeting my (albeit simple) needs pretty well, and I like the fact that it's tightly integrated into the iOS experience on both the macOS and iOS side. I also have Office 2016 as part of an Office365 subscription, so OneNote is part of that, and while I looked to it as a possible Evernote replacement last year, it never really 'stuck' for me for whatever reason, although I think it's improved somewhat since then.

Notebook definitely seems to have a better overall design on the Mac side — the aesthetics are nice, and I like the gesture support and ability to stack and group notes. In the end I'd probably give it a slight edge to OneNote for those reasons, although you don't get the Microsoft app and cloud integration, of course. However, since Zoho makes both the iOS and macOS pieces and the sync service totally free, I'd say it's worth downloading to at least check it out and give it a spin.
