Options to save our notes
Windows Notepad is an application pretty simple which main use is that of quickly saving notes to keep them available in the event we need them, or as a reminder. There are some alternatives which perform the same task, but they also add some features, like EverNote, Note-It, PNotes, Notepad++ and Freebie Notes.
Freebie Notes is an application that allows us to create notes and to keep them on our desktop, or to have them transparent, always visible. It counts also with a temporizer which allows us to program alerts. Moreover, it supports text formats and we can apply color to the notes.
Another program that lets us determine the color for the notes and give format to the text is PNotes. Furthermore, PNotes counts with the alarm feature and also the transparency option. As if this wasn’t enough, it also counts with a text search engine among all the notes, saving us time so as not to go through them all one by one when we need to find a specific data that we don’t remember where we’ve put it.
EverNote is the only one of the analyzed programs that apart from enriched text, it can also save images, and send them through email. Apart from that, we can register and save our data on its server, having our data always available from any computer. As opposed to the others, EverNote is not developed to work as a reminder on the desktop as it doesn’t count with this option.
Another type of program is Notepad++. Very similar regarding its interface to the original Notepad, this one counts, however, with an assistant for programming languages. Without a doubt, an essential tool for those who work developing, as it counts with support for many syntax types and the possibility to organize different documents on eyelashes for its easy access.
Note-It is a simple program, opposed to the Windows Notepad, as its notes remain visible on our screen, without letting us add neither enriched text nor images.
As it can be seen, not all of them count with the same type of features, although they carry out the task of registering our notes. There’s no doubt, as regards possibilities of data to be saved, that EverNote is the best of these applications, apart from having the plus of being always available on the internet.
However, EverNote lacks an important function which Freebie Notes, PNotes and Note-It count with. That’s the feature of being always visible on our desktop. Inside this group, if we care about the looks, Note-It is, with its simplicity, an application that will satisfy our needs.
On the other hand, some utilities like the alarm and the transparency possibilities are not insignificant at all, provided by Freebie Notes, as well as the search among the notes which PNotes counts with. In the end, those who work with programming will see, for sure, advantages for counting with a program like Notepad++.
