HandyPad

When we need to quickly jot down a phone number or an fleeting idea, most of us start instinctively looking for a scrap of paper. HandyPad aims to be a substitute for that paper, especially if you are currently working on your computer.

One of the most important features of HandyPad is its portability. This means that you do not need to install it on your PC (which might have been a genuine hassle for novices) and that you can run it out-of-the-box on any computer.

Alternatively, you can copy it on a removable device like a USB thumb drive and carry it with you - when you want to open the notes you have previously created within HandyPad, simply launch the app.

Another very important function of this utility is its built-in auto-save, meaning that as soon as you activate it, you can rest assured that your text will not be lost, even if your PC crashes. On the downside, you might not be able to enjoy this feature if you are running HandyPad from your flash drive, as it might considerably slow down your device's performance.

On the other hand, you can erase all created notes with a single mouse click, as well as clear the clipboard which is especially useful if you have worked with confidential data that you do not want anyone else to access.

HandyPad is a basic note-taking application that can prove very useful to all those who often find themselves searching for a slip of paper to write down ideas or comments.

Its looks might not be overly impressive, but its simplicity is essential for rookies - they simply need to enter a note without additional hassle. Find and Print are also supported, along with automatically running at Windows startup.
