PNotes

PNotes is a lightweight tool that can help you keep track of your work, schedule or to-do list by providing you with virtual notes directly on your desktop.

Upon program initialization, you can access PNotes from the system tray. The interface of the app comes with a familiar and simple-to-use layout.

Numerous word-processing tools are provided by the application; they include undo, redo, cut, copy and paste, format (e.g. font, bold, center), insert (picture, smiley, date/time), spell checking, search and replace. Notes can be saved and organized into user-defined groups.

Additional features of the app let you create a diary and notes from the Clipboard, backup, restore and synchronize data, create a favorites list, as well as password-protect and lock PNotes.

The control panel of the tool can be brought on the screen to help you better organize notes and configure settings. Customization options for the appearance are available in the 'Preferences' area; thus, you can allow transparency, use custom fonts, display the scroll bar and change the skin, among others.

You can schedule a task (e.g. allow sound alert, enable visual notification, set text-to-speech settings), as well as change docking settings (e.g. custom skin, inverse docking order) and the behavior mode (e.g. save all on program exit, relational notes positioning), just to name a few.

PNotes contains user documentation and requires a low amount of system CPU and memory. We have not come across any error dialogs throughout our testing and PNotes did not freeze or crash. Too bad the tool does not offer multi-language support.

To sum it up, PNotes is certainly a worthy app when it comes to keeping a rich-featured and easily accessible organizer on your desktop. Thanks to its intuitive layout and wide range of customization options, users of any level of experience can seamlessly explore this environment.
