It also opens up all kinds of interesting possibilities. This means your work stays yours and is easy to manage. Unlike other similar applications it can be configured to save the notes as separate text files rather than locking them inside a database. Notational Velocity is focused on keyboard work rather than the mouse, it works in plain text or Rich Text Format, and it can encrypt notes. A full list of apps, plugins and extensions is here.įor me the best of the desktop apps on the Mac is Notational Velocity, a simple, lightning-fast open source notetaking tool that syncs with Simplenote almost instantly.

Windows and Linux users should take heart from the Simplenote plugin for Google Chrome, a great replacement for the now more or less defunct Google Notebook (Update: Windows users might now also like to try Resoph Notes, or Notes, and there are continuing developments elsewhere too–thanks to David in the comments for the update ).
There are currently four desktop apps (Mac only I’m afraid) that sync with the Simplenote web app. But the clever thing about it is that it allows other applications to sync too. Like a lot of iPhone apps Simplenote syncs with a web-based service.
Synchronised data is a serious problem.Ībout a month ago I discovered Simplenote, a notetaking app for the iPhone/iPod Touch which has one simple aim: to replace the built-in notes app on those devices. In the course of my week I work on three different ‘full-size’ computers using three radically different operating systems and I use an iPod Touch for keeping on top of things while I’m on the move. In my ongoing and probably fruitless quest to find software that will do its job across platforms and devices I have been looking at notetaking applications.
