For Mac users with lots to do. Mori is a digital notebook that makes it easy to record and organize your thoughts. Unlike the alternatives, Mori doesn’t box you into one way of thinking. Instead Mori’s simple and flexible design puts you in charge of your information. Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

A place to remember your notes and organize your ideas
Imagine a notepad that grows and grows. No matter how big it gets, you can search it in an instant, as if it’s all written on the back of your hand.
Mori is your notebook, project manager, research assistant, and more. In other words, Mori lets you decide how you want to keep your information. Notes, tasks, clippings, and writings: Mori does them all.

How can Mori help you?
If you’ve got things to remember or ideas to organize Mori can help.
- Food lovers - Keep all of your recipes in one easy to find place. Rate the success of each recipe and create a smart folder that will collect your favorites.
- Students - Don’t forget another assignment. Keep your class notes, todo items, and projects all in one place. Need to find something fast? Just type in the search field for instant results.
- Writers - Writing the next great novel? Grinding through a thesis? Use Mori to help structure your writing. Use aliases to gather all text related to a single character into one place. Use links to join your thoughts until they make sense.
Mori grows with you
If your needs are simple Mori stays simple. If your needs are more complex Mori can help.

Mori uses the familiar organizational notions of files and folders. But Mori doesn’t stop there. Mori gives you Smart Folders, so notes show up automatically when they match criteria you set up. Sort your data alphabetically, or by the date you created it. Or create an entirely new category: for example, keyword, due date, price, etc. Color-code your notes. Rate them. Mori doesn’t force you into anyone’s system; it grows with you.

Is Mori the best choice for you?
Buying a note manager can be a daunting process with many choices. On one hand you have great outlining programs. If your goal is lists and outlines, try OmniOutliner. On the other hand you have powerful and complex note databases. If your goal is to create reference database of "everything" try DevonThink. But if you need something in-between, give Mori a try. We think it’s the ideal place for your day to day notes, projects, and activities.
