About
While working with computer using some sort of editor, a note tool becomes handy
to remember important ideas associated with current work. In addition, it is fine
to have an option to keep track of your activities. Easy Notes are unique tool
that provides multi-role editor, note tools, calendar and tasks. Moreover, you
can extend them with plug-ins in accordance with your needs.
To edit files, a multi-role editor called DocPad is integral part of Easy Notes.
Thanks to extensible architecture of the application, the number of recognized
file formats is given just by loaded plug-ins. For example, you can use it as word
processor and HTML editor at the same time. DocPad has all the features for work
with several documents - set of commands applicable to all kind of editors including
search, Multiple Document Interface, tabbed browsing and tree allowing you have your
documents hierarchically sorted. Moreover, the tree supports presence of single
document in several branches.
Everybody knows the sticky notes. They are just one of options you have with
Easy Notes. Each sticky note behaves as a small word processor, thus allowing
you to employ rich text formatting. As usually you can let them to always stay
on top, roll or recycle them, etc. Another note tool is a Note Tree. Use it to
manage notes, which do not fit to sticky notes due its size or features as such
Object Linking and Embedding. Last, but not least, there is a calendar giving
you a full month overview. Each day can be associated with note and several tasks.
In order to ensure reliability, each note is saved as it is modified - just like
real paper. Printing, recycle bin, stay-on-top, export, import, hyperlinks,
rolling, templates, etc. are matter of course here.
As suggested in previous paragraph, to complement the calendar, there are tasks.
Almost all features available to notes are available to tasks as well. Tasks are
hierarchically sorted in the tree and there's a view into a selectable piece of future.
While only a minimum of inputs is required, you can still have a perfect track of
your activities.
If you need to take your notes to another computer, or carry them on your flash disk,
Easy Notes make it possible by storing them in one single file. Entire access to this file
is transaction-backed to rule out problems caused by unfinished writes. In fact,
it is even possible to move your notes to ODBC-compliant database server.
