We believe you should be able to capture thoughts, ideas, and to-do’s wherever you are, and on whatever device you have at your fingertips–for free. That is why we made OneNote for iPhone and iPad, and just recently, OneNote for Mac. It’s important to us that you have a fluid and familiar digital note taking experience with OneNote on all the devices you love. In that vein, today we are releasing significant updates to OneNote for iPhone and OneNote for Mac, that deliver an improved experience on Apple devices.

OneNote for iPhone update
If you like OneNote for iPhone today, we think you’ll love these three major enhancements:
- This update untethers OneNote for iPhone from the desktop with the ability to create new notebooks and sections. This means that you can now create a new notebook, share it with others, and get on the same page–all from the convenience of an iPhone.
- We’ve built Office Lens into OneNote for iPhone. Similar to Office Lens on OneNote for iPad, this popular feature turns your iPhone into a pocket scanner so you can use it to take pictures of things like receipts or whiteboard notes. Then, with Office Lens you can trim, enhance and make pictures more readable. Best thing is, images are automatically synced to OneNote, and if your picture includes printed text, OneNote can recognize the text with optical character recognition (OCR) so you can search for words in the image.
- We’ve dramatically improved the look and feel of OneNote on iOS 7, making note taking and navigation of your notes much more fluid and efficient.

How to import from OneNote on Windows to the Mac edition of OneNote? After successfully importing, I plan to continue working on the Mac edition of OneNote. If OneNote on the Mac can not do this, are there any other applications on the Mac, like EverNote or Growly, which can import my work from Windows OneNote and let me continue on my Mac. Basic tasks in OneNote for Mac. OneNote for Mac is a digital note-taking app that provides a single place for keeping all of your notes, research, plans, and information — everything you need to remember and manage in your life at home, at work, or at school.
OneNote for Mac update
Introduced just last month, OneNote for Mac quickly became one of the most popular free productivity apps for Mac, and remains among the top in the category. Here’s what we’ve done to make OneNote for Mac even better:
- Print notes: You can now print out your lecture notes, travel itineraries or recipes by simply navigating to the page of your choice and bringing up the standard system print dialog from the menu. In addition, you can save the page as a PDF file through the Print dialog.
- Drag and drop images: Yes, this is as easy as it sounds! If you are browsing the web for ideas for a remodeling project and find some pictures you want to capture, you can easily drag and drop those into OneNote. If you have an album on your local machine, you can simply drag and drop multiple photos from Finder into OneNote. Additionally, this update also adds image formatting tools so you can restore the size of the picture if it’s been modified from its original state, or rotate pictures as desired.
- Format Painter: You may recognize this option from other Office applications. Format Painter is a handy tool to quickly apply the same text formatting throughout your notes. For example, if you copy and paste content from different sources with different formats, you can easily apply the same consistent format across all the content in a couple clicks. WARNING: this tool is highly addictive. Once you start using it, you won’t be able to stop.
- Copy and paste formatted content: When using OneNote for project management, class research or travel planning, capturing content from other places into OneNote is essential. Whether it’s formatted text from a Word document, tables from Excel or webpages, you can easily capture rich content and place it in your notes so it looks the same as it did in Word, Excel or on the webpage.
- Hyperlinks: Sometimes links can be long, unwieldy and aren’t always self-explanatory. You can now keep your notes organized by adding a display name for links in your notes.

While these updates address some of the top/immediate requests from customers, we’re only scratching the surface. We’ll continue to deliver updates at a rapid pace, however we won’t be able to do without your input–so keep the great feedback coming.
