Create a browsable database of notes.

HandyNotes is a small software program that makes it easy to keep all your notes organized in one easily accessible place. With HandyNotes, any time you need to jot something down you can just click on an icon and create a new note. If you need to refer to previous notes, you can easily browse them, or search for a keyword. HandyNotes users can now synchronize their notes with the HandyNotes.net Web site, meaning that you can access your notes from any computer with Web access, at any time! Or if, for example, you run HandyNotes at home and at work, you can keep all your notes synchronized and easily accessible.

Very Useful App For Jotting Down Notes
Moby_The_DalmatianJune 27, 2005
Pros
The author of this software named it well. This is really a very handy app for jotting down notes. It sits in the system tray. Can be set to automatically save when minimized, closed, or at a preset duration (how many minutes). I don't use the synchronization feature, so I can't comment on that. One can sort the notes either alphabetically or by date. I guess if one wants to sort it by category, one can work around that by adding Alphabets when naming the notes. But whichever way one sets to sort the notes, the drop down menu will show all notes. You can choose the background color too to suit your mood of the day :) But just one background color for all notes. You can set the program to automatically backup your notes everyday. You can also encrypt your notes. It works well with XP, stable and use little resources. I have been using it everyday since I downloaded it a week ago. <p> <p>I don't use this to replace my notepad. I more or less use it as sticky notes. But this is better if you don't want to see 10 sticky notes on your desktop. <p> <p>I transfer the info on these notes to .txt or .knt (KeyNote) if it's info I want to keep other than "return CDs to sister"
Cons
none for me personally
Summary
all I have to say is that its better than notepad/wordpad

good use, very simple but useful program...I would recommend this to people who like writing notes constantly on the computer. Example: you sign up for a new site, just use this to jot down the password :)
Perfect

Summary
I've been looking for something that would take notes for me for various things. I wanted something to hold recipes but this will do that and a whole lot more! I can search for a recipe by cooking method or whatever I need, it will hold urls for later for me not to mention job contact info and job listings.... no more word files for this... word was clunky for what I wanted!
well, at least it's free

Summary
If all you want is the ability to make a bunch of notes and search them, this works. That's not really very useful though. You can't categorize or sort for example. Still, it works and it's free. If that's enough for you, go for it.
This is a sticky note that gets rid of paper

Summary
What I wanted was a simple, clean format with nice options. That is this product. The transparancy/stay on top functions are perfect for for taking notes while you are working on another screen. If you are doing reservations or orders, download this. Good product.
Easy and Handy!

Summary
This is a wonderful tool. I just started using the synchronizing tool and it works too. I wrote to the author with a question and he responded quickly. The only thing I wish it had was an alarm, that way I can get rid of another program I use just for that. Try it out!
Excellent

I would highly recommend this to people if you like to jot down notes, and feel that notepad, or wordpad is to inconvenient. Try handynotes, it's so much easier to save, and add new notes whenever you need to.
