Wanted: Great notes organizer

[SamF.]

Does any one use a freeware organizer that they think is better than
KeyNote or Treepad Lite and Treepad Asia? If it is out there I would
like to find it.

"Better" in what way? What kind of features are you looking for, or
what shortcomings do you see in Treepad and KeyNote? It would help
narrow down the choices.

Whatever the merits of EssentialPIM, and they exist, it's notes module
can't (yet?) compete with TreePad Lite (although that's plain text
only) or KeyNote. Both are, or appear to be, abandonware though.

An interesting alternative, however, is NeoMem, as it has some
features neither TreePad nor KeyNote has.

NeoMem is a very nice piece of work.

I'm rather fond of Tombo:

Nice points:

- uses regular text files in whatever directory structure one wishes
to set up
- opensource
- available for WinCE as well
- very small and light-weight

But so far cannot import Treepad type files.

It *can* be done, by cutting and pasting every node; not for the
fainthearted.

Evernote. Great organizing and search capabilities, which you will
appreciate after you have thousands of notes entered. Allows you to
"tag" each note with one or more categories and then list notes by
category. I use it for a daily journal as well as personal records such
as date of purchase of an item, etc. Very flexible.

Opera 8.5. What’s really great about the notes manager is that the search
fuctionality is phenomenal Btw, it does web browsing, newsgroups and
e-mail as well...

How about:

"NoteIT was designed to be a quick and easy to use address book,
calculator, search engine interface and note taking application, that
would be natural to use for the user that needs a fast and easy office
solution in a fast paced work environment.

We have achieved this purpose, with features that enable the user to
store, search, retrieve and password protect notes seamlessly, and to
search the Web, with a minimum number of key strokes."

I'm doing a head-to-head eval of notes programs now on my What's New
page. http://www.jhoodsoft.org/whatsnew.html

See the entry for January 22. Three choices are EverNote, Golden
Section Notes, and Keynote.
Correlate is also close.

Tiddley-wiki is interesting. I needed something that was a little more
seamless though.

I took a look at this. It requires MDAC 2.7 and above to run, because
it's an MSaccess MDB database and front end.
Web search takes you to Alltheweb.com and there is no way to change it.
No drag and drop. No Insert function at all. Notes are text only, no
bold italic or underline. No way to filter. No way to search by note
title. Only one note tree. No way to edit notes once you've made
them. Seems pretty big for an app that just takes notes.

On the plus side, it's skinable, looks pretty. and is nicely organized.
It's very simple, and if it's what you need, go for it.
