Here’s the link to the Mac version.
And the iPad version.
And the iPhone version.
All free. Worth it? Time will tell.
Microsoft OneNote for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. All free.

Just tried the iPad version. Horrible! Please Bill just fire everyone and start over. This is pathetic.
I wonder how any of this helps Microsoft in any way.
Helping to build hype for Office for iOS? Doubtful.
Helping to build Microsoft mindshare in mobile? Negative.
Get everyone in love with free OneNote, then charge for it? Nope.
Trojan horse for other Microsoft iOS apps? Unlikely.
Aha! Maybe that’s Microsoft’s real tactic here.
They’re trying to convince the world that iOS isn’t very good. By releasing an app on iOS that isn’t very good. Or something.
Get Apple users to start using Microsoft products; like what Apple did with Windows and iPod.
The Mac version requires Mavericks. First app I’ve run across like that (I’m still on Mountain Lion for now).
… and it does not support drag and drop. Very helpful for a note taking app.
It’s not horrible. I just downloaded it on my iMac and iDevices. Looks OK to me. Nice to have synching across devices.
I believe it stores everything on OneDrive, perhaps that is their strategy?
Isn’t this a few years too late? I remember reading about OneNote many, many years ago, and remember thinking it’d be nice to have something that worked that way on OS X. It was one of the only things I could think of that could have tempted me to use a Windows laptop. Now there are so many alternatives… if this thing doesn’t make coffee and take out the trash it may be too little, too late.
I’m guessing that’s why the price point is “free”. I’d been looking at alternatives recently: Circus Ponies’ Notebook; VoodooPad, etc and they’re relatively pricey, especially when compared with £0… For that price, I’m at least going to try it out. (I already use Evernote, but it doesn’t have the structure I’d prefer; I’m looking for more of a mini-wiki than it seems to provide.)
On the other hand: Microsoft, it’s 2014. You’ve written a Mac note-taking app that supports images. You’ve not added support for dragging them into a note from the Finder/Desktop. WTF!?
