CintaNotes (CN) ： Free, Lightweight and User-Friendly Personal Notes Manager

CintaNotes is a Windows information management application that allows basic personal note keeping. It provides a way to store and retrieve text collected from other documents or websites (it does not support the collection of images).

CintaNotes supports clipping text from any application via a hot key and also captures the web or local file link. The software allows tags and has instant search based on tags, text, links or date. The entire database or individually selected notes can be exported into either Unicode text or XML format.

[ Detailed Description ]

CintaNotes is a small and easy to use personal note management application. It is designed to be your indispensable assistant in the daily task of collecting numerous pieces of information, whatever they may be: your own thoughts and ideas, book and article excerpts, job postings, famous people quotes, research data, curious facts, Wikipedia definitions, blog posts, important news, you name it.

It lets you quickly jot down and tag any piece of useful information that you come across while reading documents or surfing the Net – just select the text and press Ctrl+F12. With CintaNotes, this is really all it takes to make a note!

CintaNotes does not clutter your workspace with “sticky notes”, all notes are neatly organized in an easily navigable list. And unlike browser-based tools like Google Notebook or Firefox plug-ins CintaNotes does not require a web browser to work – it works in Microsoft Word, Outlook, Adobe Acrobat – the “text-capturing magic” works in all applications that can copy text to clipboard!

[ Main Functions ]

A free, lightweight and user-friendly personal notes manager

CintaNotes lets you quickly save and tag any useful information that you come across or just need to jot down.

Clip text from anywhere. Just select it and press the hotkey!

The text-clipping “magic” works in any application that can copy text to clipboard. CintaNotes automatically saves the text and its source URL, and you don’t even have to install a plug-in to integrate it with your web browser!

Fast as-you-type searching

Retrieving information is also trivial: just open CintaNotes and start typing! Only notes containing the typed phrase remain in the list. More sophisticated search criteria are supported, like searching by title or by URL the note was taken from.

Powerful tagging system

You can use tags for note organization, and later use tag union, intersection and subtraction filters to quickly find what you need.

Synchronize notes across multiple PCs

Live note synchronization is supported with the help of free online services such as DropBox or LiveMesh.

Run it from your flash drive

CintaNotes is a totally self-contained application, meaning that you can put it on a flash drive and run it directly from there. In this way, your notes will always be with you.
