Microsoft today released OneNote, its note-taking app, on the Mac App Store for free, as expected. The release marks an important change in terms of strategy for Microsoft — OneNote is now free across all desktop and mobile platforms.
OneNote has an interface similar to other Microsoft Office apps, with a variety of options to format and style text in notes, make lists, etc. Users of OneNote will get free 7GB storage on OneDrive, and they can use that storage to sync their notes on OneNote on other platforms like iOS, Android and web.
Here’s a video of OneNote for Mac:
Microsoft has also released a web clipper extension for several browsers to let users save webpages to OneNote, and also announced a new cloud API to let third-party developers integrate OneNote in their own apps. The company has also released a Windows Phone app called Office Lens, that’ll let you take photos of whiteboards, documents etc., automatically scan text and store it in your OneNote library.
