Before Evernote<\/a>, I was a long time user of OneNote<\/a>, Microsoft\u2019s note-taking application. OneNote is part of Office Suite<\/strong> and inherits the same tastes and features from its sister apps such as Word, in particular. OneNote is more flexible in terms of content management. Content can be placed freely anywhere in the working area of OneNote without restriction. We can insert bullets, checkboxes, and other complement marks to put across your notes, ideas, or thoughts more clearly.<\/p>\n

Generally, OneNote works sufficiently well. My only disappointment is on the synchronization between the web app and the desktop app<\/strong> \u2013 at that time, there was no OneNote mobile app. Sometimes it worked, but often it did not. Connecting the Notebook that was created in the web app to desktop app was kind of tricky.<\/p>\n

Now it seems OneNote is getting better. It\u2019s available in different platforms outside Windows including OS X, Android, and iOS. Regardless of what your favorite platform is, you can use OneNote. In this post, I\u2019m going to share my experience on how to synchronize OneNote notebooks across OS X and Windows Phone. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

Getting Started<\/h2>\n

To begin with, make sure that you have OneNote installed and a registered Microsoft Account<\/a>. Once they are set, launch OneNote and connect to the cloud through the OneNote > Sign in<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n

Sign in with your Microsoft account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a Notebook<\/h2>\n

Now let\u2019s create a Notebook that we aim to sync to Windows Phone (as well as other devices with OneNote). To create a new notebook, go to File > New Notebook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OneNote provides a number of colors to choose for the new notebook. Pick your favorite color and name the notebook \u2013 as an example, I will name my new notebook as \u201cHongkiat Notebook\u201d.<\/p>\n

The notebook in OneNote feels and looks similar to a real physical notebook. You can create sections in it and pages in each section. As mentioned, creating content in OneNote is fluid and flexible; for further information, see the following video.<\/p>\n
