DeskNotes Project Description

DeskNotes is Windows desktop application for keeping your notes on Windows desktop, like sticky notes. It helps you to keep your ideas in the place you visit and see the most of the time while sitting in front of your computer.
The things which should not be seen by everybody going around your Windows desktop can be hidden. DeskNote can be made top most of your windows so you see it even while working in some other application window. Since version 2.2 DeskNote can be switchable with other windows on Windows system, this means it is visible in Windows taskbar and in Alt+Tab windows switching window. If DeskNote is time dependent it can have a reminder (alarm) defined.

 

Simple formatting (RTF) of each DeskNote is available:

• numbered and bullet lists can be differently indented
• font and its style can be changed
• text and background colors can be set
• URLs inside DeskNotes are clickable
• timestamp can be inserted by single shortcut
• All features are described in Documentation.

DeskNotes can be synchronized with MS Outlook Notes, this allow easy transfer of DeskNote into Outlook and from Outlook to e.g. mobile phone. Emailing of DeskNote is possible with single command, it uses default email client. All or single DeskNote can be printed.
When some of the things you posted on your desktop is old, but you want to keep it, you can move these old DeskNotes into the Archive and save into different categories. If Archive gets too big it is possible to search inside. At the end you can print everything from Archive.
By default all DeskNotes are accessible from DeskNotes main icon residing in taskbar notification area and via its popup menu. Paticular DeskNote can be made visible in Windows task switching window (Alt+Tab) - switchable in order to make the DeskNote more handy and accessible while editing it and quickly swiching to it from other applications.
