Sense

Sense is a user-friendly text editor that helps you easily write drafts and keep your notes organized. You can add sticky notes to clarify parts of your document and create outlines for the info that’s important to you.

User Interface Challenges

Now, here’s the thing: the interface feels a bit old and cluttered. It can be tough to find what you're looking for because everything is spread out in a long toolbar. A cleaner menu with stacked functions would make life so much easier!

Layout Features

The layout is split into two tabs: the outline and scratch pad, plus an editing area. There’s even a ruler to help you arrange content on the page neatly. You can set up your info in tree structures, which is pretty neat! Adding new child-nodes, connecting lines, and turning nodes into headings or lists is all part of the deal.

Easy Navigation

Navigating through records is super quick! You can promote or demote items between levels and rearrange them into expandable or collapsible chapters. Got text saved in your clipboard? Just paste it in and format it with different fonts, colors, and sizes!

Annotations Limitations

Annotations are handy when you want to give a quick definition or description of something. But here’s a little downside: you can't customize them with different background colors or styles like clouds or bubbles.

Image Insertion Issues

If you want to add images from your computer, you'll need to use hyperlinks first. Also, inserting tables, symbols, or special characters like sigma or dollar signs isn’t straightforward.

Status Bar Information

At the bottom of your screen, Sense shows how many pages, lines, words, and characters you've got. However, when it comes to exporting your work, you're limited to just one file type—SED—which might not open easily in other text editors.

Your Drafting Companion

All things considered, Sense is a handy tool for writing drafts and making outlines that help organize your key data effectively.
