I’m looking at NoteTaker now but now sure it’s going to serve as well.

JanuUpdate: I checked the Circus Ponies site this afternoon and found that they had removed the reference to “turd note-taking apps.” It just says “Best of luck” now. Good riddance to you and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on they way out. I say, if you’d spent more time making a better product, you might have stayed in business. Instead of any of that, Circus Ponies chose to make this their final remark to their long-standing customers:īest of luck with all the turd note-taking apps that are left. If they are an information warehouse, like Notebook, a FAQ on the best ways to port information to other apps should be posted. An e-mail sent, well in advance of the day to their customers. But when they decide they are going to shut down they owe it to the people who’ve purchased their product to exit a lot more gracefully than this. I know that software companies can’t be expected to stay in business if they’re not profitable. If you need a copy of NoteBook 4.0 (3.x and earlier don’t run on OS X El Capitan) or need technical support, you can try sending an e-mail to There’s a chance someone will respond but no guarantees. Now word comes (via ) that Circus Ponies has, without warning, shut its doors, leaving its users in the lurch, with no support but this vague statement: But it didn’t and the long-promised upgrade never appeared. I might have more if the iPad version worked well-enough. While I updated to each new version, paying the upgrade fee a couple of times, I really never relied upon the app. Its outline-centric approach and notebook metaphor appealed to me, but once I began using it, I found it a bit too restrictive. Notebook by Circus Ponies was one of the applications, along with Scrivener, that lured me back to the Mac platform after 15 years. Circus Ponies gives its customers the finger on the way out the door.
