I've been missing my beloved OneNote since switching to Mac (I did install OneNote under Parallels, but since it's running on a virtual machine, it lacks integration with other Mac applications).
A couple of weeks ago, I discovered this: http://growlybird.com/GrowlyBird/Notes.html
It's supposed to be (saying it roughly) a Mac clone of OneNote. I wonder if anyone has actually tried it?

I've installed Growly Notes on my MacBook -- it's free after all -- but I haven't tried it extensively. My initial impression is that it is only superficially like OneNote, without any of the richer features. It seems a very nice program, but to me the better OneNote comparible is Curio. I wrote about it here:

Growly Notes is the featured program of the day on http://www.freedownloadaday.com/
I'm a former Windows and OneNote user, but for a few months now, a Mac user. I really missed OneNote and tried many Mac apps to replace it without much success. This program seems very close to OneNote, maybe a little rough around the edges, but still very good. It's brand new and I'm hoping the developer will continue improving it.

Thank you, Steve and Brad.
I installed Growly Notes some weeks ago, but still haven't gotten around to using it. Evernote sort of took over instead.
I'm using DEVONthink for long-term storage of research material, and Evernote as a web-clipper to store random bits of info that caught my attention, everything Mac-related, and more bits of info that I'm not sure where (and if) to put in DEVONthink. I used to use ShoveBox for temporary/random storage, but since it looks like ShoveBox isn't going anywhere anymore (too darn bad!), Evernote is now in charge of temp storage.
I sure want to give Growly Notes a serious try, though.

Growly is not listed in Apple Store, and therefore it is nothing to bother about
Do not try any program that is not listed there !!
I have tested Growlyl, had some correspondence with the author.
Don't waist your time !
Ever Note is a better alternative, yet not perfect either
