I'm taking a course with several modules. I want a software that will allow me to organize the course. I liked MS OneNote for this when I was a PC user - is there a similar software for Mac? With OneNote, you can have a "notebook" for a topic/course/etc. with "tabs" or dividers and "pages" under each.

EverNote doesn't seem to be similar, at least from what I have seen.

I'd prefer something where I can organize each module into a different tab with pages or information for each under that tab so I can keep each module organized.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I noticed the Notebook template under MS Word. Is this the best option? I like that it's not cluttered.

I had a similar need and started using Circus Notebook. It allows the use of tabs and is more flexible than Word notebook layout. Another (more expensive) route is to run Onenote through vmware or parallels. This would be a good solution if you need to run additional windows programs. I've run onenote this way and it works fine.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks all! I will explore Circus Ponies and Growly Notes today. :) I really appreciate it.
 
After exploring both Growly Notes and Notebook, I've found GN to be the better of the two for my purposes. I like the interface and it's closest to OneNote and most intuitive for me.

TY all for the suggestions!
 
Give EverNote a try, it is free if you stay under the limitations, which for your use is easy to do. I've used OneNote and EverNote and for note organizing they are very similar.
