Use PicoNote for dead-simple note taking anywhere

Take a look at PicoNote. Its available in three forms: a free Windows application, a web-based app, and a mobile-friendly web app http://m.piconote.com. From the moment you sign up, youll enjoy its simplicity – the registration form only asks for a username and password.

Once you’ve created an account, adding notes is easy to do: create, add title and body text, and save your note. If it contains a URL, Piconote will automatically turn it into a clickable link. Private notes are hidden from prying eyes, but you can also create public notes to share with anyone. There are no formatting options, but you shouldnt really expect those from a “pico” application anyway, right?

The desktop application is just as easy to use. Its interface defaults to Polish, so to switch to English just click notatnik -> language. Once youve created a local notepad, Piconote will sync it to your web account and automatically sync it every time you open or close the file.

BlueInstinct Apps — iQuickNotes

Note-taking on the iPhone is an important functionality.  However, the built-in Memo application becomes cumbersome to use when you start dealing with a lot of notes.

iQuickNotes was designed with the simple goal of having a better-organized notepad.  You can organize your notes into folders and subfolders.  You can tag your note or folder as a favorite and view them through the “Favorites” list.  Your most-recently added or changed notes and folders also appear under the “Recents” list.

We could add more features to iQuickNotes, but we did not.  We find that having too many bells and whistles can result in a less-friendly user experience – something we don’t want our note-taking activity to become.

iQuickNotes UNIQUE COMBINATION OF FEATURES

•FOLDERS: Group your notes into folders or subfolders, with the number of notes contained indicated

•SEARCH: Search for any word in your folders or notes title AND contents

•FAVORITES TAB: Tag notes or folders as your favorite and quickly see them through the Favorites tab at the bottom

•BY DATE: Want to view your most recently added or edited note or folder?  Just click on the By Date tab at the bottom

•BY NAME: All your notes and folders are indexed by their first letter for easy access
