with 49 posters participatingAs predicted a week ago, Microsoft has just released a version of its OneNote client for OS X—it's currently a free download in the Mac App Store, and it's available for any Mac running OS X 10.9. The full Windows version of OneNote 2013 has also been released as a free download, and it includes all the features of the standard OneNote client that comes with Office 2013 for Windows.
Install from unidentified developer mac. The new OneNote for Mac app is interesting both because the app has never been available in OS X before and because it has been a few years since the other Office for Mac applications—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook—have been updated. The application's user interface is more in line with the 'ribbon' UI used in the Windows versions of Office, and it may give us an idea of where Microsoft is headed with the next version of Office for Mac (the rumor mill says we'll see an update at some point this year).
When you download OneNote for Mac, you'll first be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account. Unlike the free Windows version of OneNote, you've got to use a standard Microsoft account with OneNote for Mac—you can't use it as a local, standalone application, and you can't use it with a corporate Microsoft account either. Once you've signed in, you'll be presented with an OS X-ified version of the Windows OneNote client. Microsoft has done a good job balancing its own design language (namely, the tabs of the ribbon UI) and OS X design conventions (a search box in the upper-right, full Retina display support, and full-screen mode support).
After years of treating the Office for Mac applications as second-class citizens with entirely separate designs from their Windows counterparts, Microsoft has been making an effort to unify the applications in recent years. The Office for Mac 2011 apps feature far better compatibility with documents created by the Windows versions, and they jettisoned the execrable Entourage e-mail client for an imperfect-but-still-better version of Outlook. If OneNote for Mac is any indication, the next Office for Mac applications will be much better translations of the Windows versions. Even the application's icon is a better cross between OS X and Windows, marrying the Windows application icon with the gentle color gradient used in many OS X icons.
While the OneNote for Mac application is pretty good, the Windows version remains more feature-rich. The free OneNote 2013 application for Windows has all the same features of the version that comes bundled with Office, including several that the Mac version lacks. Here's a list of what you can do in OneNote 2013 that you can't do in OneNote for Mac: Brother mfc-j470dw software download for mac.
- Insert file attachments, online images, or images directly from scanners
- Insert recorded audio or video
- Insert symbols or equations
- View detailed information on revisions and what users those revisions were made by
- Use drawing tools
- Send screen captures or text clips to OneNote through the 'Send to OneNote' add-on
- Save or open local files
You'll also find these kinds of limitations in the online and mobile versions of the application—it's too bad that Microsoft didn't try to support all of the same features across all of its desktop clients. Alternative notebook applications like Evernote do a better job of providing the same features to users regardless of their chosen platform.

All in all, the OS X version of OneNote falls short of the Windows version—you can't run a local installation with no Microsoft account, and there are several editing tools that just aren't available. Still, as a tool to sync basic notebooks between your Windows PCs and phones and your iOS and Android devices, OneNote for OS X is an improvement over the Web client and points the way forward for the next versions of Office for Mac.
