With this simple yet effective tool, creating and organizing notes is easy. Alot Notes has a basic interface that simply displays the list of notes as a tree display in the left pane and the contents of the highlighted note in the right pane. The interface icons may throw you a bit, but hover over them for guidance. You can input a text or spreadsheet note, and the notes are time-stamped with the exact time you began your entry. It has save options galore, including saving to the executable's database file, an external file, and a database backup. You can activate the stay-on-top feature for those individual notes you want to display. When you minimize the program, a small icon is placed on the lower-left side of your screen or in the system tray. Unfortunately, printing and hot-key features are missing. While the design won't mesmerize you, we consider this freeware a good notes option.

An oldie but goodie.

Pros
Best features are its small footprint, easy access and unobtrusive interface. Also noteworthy is the flexibility of either freeform text notes or table/spreadheet-type layout.
Cons
Since it has not been updated since 1999, it lacks a number of features that one would expect to find nowadays, including search, sort and hyperlinks.
Summary
I have been using Alot Notes for years, and despite its limitations, it remains the best easily accessible note application with a small footprint.

Pros
(Also known as Magik Notes) <p>Stays active in memory, tray icon to hide/unhide. <p>All notes remain open, with a handy tree directory. <p>Supports spreadsheet-formatted notes as well as text. <p>Overall excellent for a notepad app -- I use it CONSTANTLY.
Cons
Like Notepad, Alot Notes doesn't support font styles or special characters, although the app's basic font can be changed to whatever you like. The Undo/Redo buffer doesn't support multiple changes, only the last one performed. No drag-n-drop.
