Zoho's note-taking app Notebook comes to Mac now

With smartphone and tablet apps, a browser extension, Zoho's Notebook app has got a desktop version now with the availability on Mac.

Notebook's iPhone app was named a Best App of 2016 by Apple's App Store and Zoho tied to bring the same visual elegance and ease of use to the Mac also.

Here are some of the features:

Create Notes: Notebook's mobile apps introduced the concept of Note Cards: dedicated note types for text, checklists, audio, photos, and sketches. The same concept has been applied to the Mac app, creating a simple and enjoyable note-taking experience.

Customization: A notebook is a personal, thoughtful space. Notebook encourages users to make the app their own by giving 25+ hand-drawn notebook covers to choose from, and the option to add their own. Individual notes can be grouped and color coded with default colors or by choosing from a color wheel.

Notable Gestures: Notebook brings the familiarity and ease-of-use of your smartphone to your Mac. With a trackpad, users can navigate Notebook without making a single click. Users can open and close notebooks, and group and ungroup stacks of note cards by pinching in and out. Users can see more information, lock, or delete note cards with a two finger swipe.

Touch Bar: Notebook works with the MacBook Pro's new Touch Bar, enabling contextual buttons within the app. The Touch Bar can be used on the note card level; it offers formatting options in Text Card, start and stop recording buttons in the Audio Card, and more. Users can also unlock notebooks and note cards with Touch ID.

"Creating a note-taking app is easy," said Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist of Zoho. "Crafting a note-taking app that redefines the market is not. That's what we set out to do with Notebook, and we believe we've achieved that, first with our mobile apps and now with our Mac app."

Notebook will remain 100% ad-free across devices, with no sync or device restrictions, said Zoho.

The app is optimized and available in multiple languages.
