Managing your day-to-day life is not an easy job to do. There are
so many things to concern for - housekeeping, shopping, children... And what about
cousin's birthday you always forget or important phone numbers? Undoubtedly
your working place is covered with dusty yellow (or blue, or pink) sticky notes.
If so - PNotes is right for you. Throw the physical stickies away and replace them
with virtual ones on your desktop.
PNotes (Pinned Notes or Portable Notes, use what you prefer) is written entirely
in C and Windows API (with Pelles C for Windows
IDE) - therefore it is fast and light-weight.
- Ease of use - no installation, just unpack the downloaded archive
to any location and run PNotes.exe.
- Portability - PNotes does not require installation, it can be started
from any drive (fixed or flash) and leaves no traces on host computer after finishing.
- Scheduling - use various schedule types to be reminded about significant
events by many different ways. Using this feature you may just hide notes and don't
worry, you'll be notified in time.
- Speaking notes - instead of sound files you may force the notes
to speak with you reading their text aloud - isn't it a cool feature?
- Notes' exchange over local network - keep in touch with your colleagues
and friends.
- Overdue notes tracking - stay alerted even with overdue reminders.
- Tags - add any number of predefined tags to each note for further
searching and sorting.
- Password protection - prevents unauthorized access to program.
- Encryption - allows all your notes to be stored as encrypted files,
so nobody could read their content, even in case you lose your USB stick.
- Password protection for single note/group - protect your notes
even more strongly.
- Synchronization - local or on-line via FTP protocol - always stay synchronized.
- Ability to pin notes to selected window - all you need appears in time.
- Control Panel - this is your central command post. All management
is put into effect here.
- Groups - divide notes into groups of your choice, create new groups
and subgroups, control all by mouse click or drag-and-drop.
- Diary group - special group of notes with its own settings, which
allows you to maintain diary-like set.
- Formatting - format and design each note as you wish, using all
the advantages of rich text formatting.
- Skins - there is a variety of skins for PNotes but if you wish,
you can run the program in skinless mode, in which case you can stretch notes to
any reasonable size.
- Transparency - you can set notes’ transparency level from opaque
to fully transparent. If you enable this feature each note can have its own transparency
level.
- Images - you can add images to notes, making them more expressive.
- Smilies - besides image files, the set of predefined smilies is
at your disposal.
- Docking - dock your notes to any side of the screen, forcing them
always to be straightened and look like a panel.
- Searching - search for (or replace) text fragments in all notes,
including hidden or in each separate note, or find notes with specified title, or
notes modified within specified interval.
- Quick search in web - select any word or phrase in note and search
for it in web using you preferred search provider.
- Favorites - access intensively used notes by a single click.
- Custom fonts - use your custom fonts which are not installed on
current machine.
- E-mailing - send notes via e-mail as mail body text or as attachment
to any target with PNotes running and open attached note on target machine.
- Recycle Bin - you decide how you want to delete the unneeded note:
completely or send it to Recycle Bin with ability to restore it later.
- Backing up - you decide whether to make backup copies for changed
notes and what is the deepness of backup levels. Also you can manually make a full
backup copy of all notes (and restore from it of course).
- Internationalization - PNotes is fully Unicode supported and translated
into many languages.
- Other features - of course there are many other unmentioned features
in program, but I suggest you to discover them by yourself, these are delights of
any new program, aren't they?
I hope that you will enjoy using PNotes as I enjoy developing it!

| 18 Nov 2011 - new version released - 8.5.106 |
See list of changes
You may install PNotes by two different ways: either by downloading and extracting
ZIP archive, or by downloading and executing standard setup program. Deinstallation
could be done accordingly: in case of ZIP archive just delete the PNotes folder,
in case of standard setup - use uninstaller which ships with installation.
Which way is better - depends only on your preferences.
Users installed the program with standard installer (NOT ZIP archive) of version 8.0, have
to backup "data" folder and "notes.ini" file before installing new version (because
of bug in setup script, these folder and file are deleted during uninstallation,
regardless of user's inhibition).
The small utility
PNotesShortcutManager may help to setup and distribute the program on local
network.
Tip: if you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7 under restricted account - install
it into root folder ("C:\"), instead of "C:\Program Files" (x32 system) or "C:\Program
Files (x86)" (x64 system) in order to avoid UAC conflicts.
Also at this page you can download help files, source code of program and various
files from previous version.
Web Help is also available in German - thanks to Holger Stöhr
