For a few weeks now I’ve been using an application called Notebook from Circus Ponies.

It’s an application I’ve tried a few times in the past but never really found a reason to buy after the free trial.

After the update to version 3.0 I decided to give it another go and try to see if I could use it to consolidate information on my Mac and clean up some folders.

So upon looking into my folder’s I found there were a few candidates for that could do will a little better organisation.

• I had all my PDF web receipts in one folder.

• I had all my e-mail copies of software licences in PDF’s in folders.

• User guides for applications in another folder.

• And lots of similar things stored in folders all over the place.

So I set about reorganising things once I downloaded NoteBook V3.0 and soon had a everything in one place in a easily searchable notebook.

The searching and organisation is what makes NoteBook special.

With NoteBook, you organize your information naturally, using a familiar notebook interface, complete with pages and tabs, sections and subsections. Add notes and other text.
Drag in files and folders. Even “clip” web research, mail messages and other content into your Notebooks without leaving the application you’re working in.
Annotate your information with diagrams and sketches, highlighting and keywords.
Take voice-annotated notes that you can download to your iPod. And protect private thoughts with passwords, covers, and encryption.

My folder system is now a lot cleaner thanks to Circus Ponies NoteBook.
