NoteMaster

NoteMaster is a cool, well-designed tool that you can easily integrate into your workflow because it is accessible, keyboard-friendly (allowing you to use a variety of shortcuts to manage and navigate the notes), and has a pleasant GUI.

If you are one of those people who like to access everything fast, mainly use shortcuts, and optimize their workflow, NoteMaster is the tool for you. It has super-useful capabilities such as the pin/always-on-top function for allowing you to keep it visible at all times, keyboard shortcuts for rapid navigation (plus, it has the Windows + N shortcut that always opens the app), the save-as-you type function.

The open-source program has another great extra: the smart search. Select a word or a phrase, right-click, and search it on Google automatically. Plus: the note window is fully adjustable (and goes in dark mode too), the design is modern-looking and minimalistic, the Command Palette can be accessed with F1.

When it comes to note-taking, we’re looking at the fun part. Your notes can be exported in text files, you can leave comments (using #), the font, size, line numbers and their height are adjustable, and the rest is super intuitive. The in-text search is really cool as it offers match cases, case-sensitive options, and even the Regular-Expression-type of search.

The Command Palette has a crazy amount of options: find and replace all occurrences of a matched expression, different folding levels or recursive folding, developer inspect tokens, traversing problems in different manners (e.g. in lines), custom insertions, additions, and many more. Last but not least, it supports emoji inclusions so you can truly have fun with your notes.

In conclusion, NoteMaster is a tool worth trying! Although it is in its early stages (the first version has just been released), it already has interesting features that will make your note-taking a lot easier, faster, and more enjoyable. The minimalistic approach is reflected in both the graphic design and the tool’s internal structure. If you love simple and efficient apps, NoteMaster is definitely for you.
