The fine folks at GrowlyBird Software offer a number of free applications that are definitely worth big money. Growly Notes is a note storage tool that makes capturing content easy. You can store text, web links, PDFs and even video clips in notebooks, organized into pages inside sections of content with the ability to indent and show the content in a hierarchy.
From the website:
Growly Notes lets you capture everything you’re interested in, all in one place. Organize research projects, trips, to-do lists, or journals. Scrapbook your images, web links, and video clips. Your imagination is the only limitation.
Pages can contain almost anything: formatted text, images, movies, audio clips, PDF files, tables, lists, web and file links, and drawings you create in Notes. There are no rules for where things have to go: put an image beside text or under it. Draw shapes on top of other notes. Put two snippets of text right next to each other. Click anywhere and start typing. It’s really that simple.
Notebooks are organized into sections (the larger tabs on the left in the image above), each of which contains as many pages as you like. All the open notebooks are shown in one window, for easy navigation and quick jumps.
You can find out more about the features of Growly Notes by clicking here. The application is free and includes comprehensive documentation. Two important aspects that you might not notice at first: you can print directly to a page in Growly Notes, like printing to a PDF, and you can use the standard format (pictured above) or a more business-like outliner format without the pretty colors and rounded buttons.
While this app (and the many other free offerings from GrowlyBird Software) are not (and will never be per the programmers) open source, they are regularly updated and maintained well so that they work well with enhancements to Mac OS X as those enhancements are added.
