Evernote for Mac 3.1

For some workers, taking a laptop and working with a 3G card, from any location is becoming a reality. To make this happen, all you need is the facility to synchronise data with other users and between computers. If you work on your laptop from a hotel room, you’ll want the same notes back on your desktop computer, when you get back to the office.

The the most obvious solution would be to take a USB drive and store your data, then move the drive between computers. However, it’s easy to lose, easy to forget to bring it in to the office and it’s a long-winded approach for making sure your notes are up-to-date on every machine.

Evernote is another idea. It’s a tool which you can use to store your notes, ideas, plans and interesting snippets of your favourite websites and other online material. You can then install another copy of Evernote on a different computer, and the first thing it does is synchronize your notes back on to this machine. Better still, there are version of Evernote for Windows, Mac and your mobile, so you are never far from your notes. You can also store your notes online, so if you are on a host computer where you aren’t able to install new software, simply open your web browser and access your Evernote account.

With Evernote, you can store and synchronize text notes, images, grabs, your photos, media and most other files. You can categorise your information so you can quickly find the files across every machine.

You can also choose to synchronize notebooks with other users. Invite them in to closed groups, add users to these groups and then choose the notebooks you want to share. Give them basic read-only access or allow them to modify, add and remove items. Ideal for sharing "to do" lists or tasks that need to be completely by the group.

The brand new Evernote 3.0 is designed for OS X Lion. Ships with a brand new user-interface, a full screen mode and more.

One of the best ideas, notes and thoughts tool gets even better and adds full support for OS X Lion.
