![]() ![]() For me, paying for both the iPad and Mac versions of both apps has been WELL worth it because of how much headache and trouble they've saved me.Īnother downside I wanted to point out for both apps is that syncing your notes across both apps is not always a seamless process. I use both apps daily and when I'm writing notes on my iPad but then want to switch to typing up a summary on my laptop, it's nice to be able to swing around to my laptop and have it available there as well. I wrestled with buying the Mac app in addition to both iPad apps but in the end, I think it was well worth it. If you buy the iPad version of Goodnotes or Notability, you can automatically download it to your iPhone, but if you want it to sync to your Mac, it requires a separate Mac app. The bad news is that if you want it to sync across your different devices (e.g., your Mac) you will need to buy the Mac version of the app. The good news for both Goodnotes and Notability is that they are one-time purchases (not subscriptions) so once you buy it, it's yours to keep. The downside is that they both cost money - something that isn't true of all notetakings apps- and I know that with the low stipends given to most grad students, an expensive app may not be in the cards. It's definitely no Procreate, but if I'm just designing my own sticker for my planner - it does the trick! For example, I'm currently loving making my own polymer clay earrings and to plan this project out, I've collected photos of my favorite designs and put them all together in a scrapbook style Goodnotes notebook where I take inspiration from my favorite designs and make them my own.ĭoodles, illustrations, coloring: I also find that Goodnotes is a great place for me to collect simple coloring pages and create simple doodles and illustrations. Scrapbook/bulletin board: In my free time I enjoy doing crafts or DIY projects and I've found Goodnotes to be the perfect fit for planning out those projects. Notebook - Like I mentioned before, Goodnotes has essentially eliminated the need for all of the notebooks I had floating around my home before! If there are any thoughts or to do's I want to jot down quickly, I'll jot them in a catchall notebook on Goodnotes so I can re-visit and even search for them later. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - but Goodnotes has always been the home for my goal-setting planner because I can collect different goal setting templates and fill them out all in one place! I am a big planner nerd □ so I've gotten into the habit of doing all of these goal setting worksheets and planning goals at a weekly and monthly level. I love having a digital planner because you can pick templates that work best for you and switch between templates if you have a busier vs. Planner: I have been an avid planner addict for years and purchasing Goodnotes, it has become the home of my digital planner where I use daily, weekly, and monthly spreads to plan out my teaching, research, and dissertation-related responsibilities. I read a mix of both for my research and notability has been a game-changer in this area because I can check out books from the library, use the document scanning feature on Notability to scan important pages, and then annotate them without destroying a precious library book :) Notability's audio feature has allowed me to record entire lectures via audio and it syncs with my written notes to show me at what point in the audio I took which notes.ĭocument scanning and taking notes on books: Depending on your field of study, you might be reading entire books for your classes rather than journal articles. On top of that, you can also record audio and take notes at the same time. You can also download lecture slides and take notes on them in real-time during lecture. Taking notes and recording audio during classes: I think this is truly where I fell in love with Notability. For me, buying an iPad just to take notes on academic readings has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. While there's nothing wrong with this, it's time-consuming, isn't great for the planet, and isn't easily accessible if you want to search for a certain note from your readings. ![]() Reading and annotating articles: This is the most obvious use case, but it should not be underestimated! I've been in grad school seminars where other students have printed out all of the readings and highlighted and written on paper.
