Create bulleted notes and get things done with Notable
by Lee Mathews Nov 7th 2008
I've been looking for a good, small note taking / gtd application for a while, and hadn't found anything that suited my needs until I came across Notable. To me, it's like a better, digital version of the $1 spiral bound notebooks I've always used.
It's design is simple, yet perfectly suited to the way I take notes. The top of the application window contains a list of your notes and the bottom allows you to view and edit them.
One thing I love about Notable's interface is the lack of, well, everything. It's about as minimal as it can be. It's designed for the way I work: with the keyboard and right-click context menu.
The first line of your note will automatically appear in bold and become its title in the list view. To bullet a line, press the tab key before you start typing (use multiple tabs to indent). Text can be formatted as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and fixed width.
Notes can be saved as rich text, and the archive function will both save a note and remove it from your list.
Notable is freeware for Windows only, and requires the .NET 2.0 framework - sometimes an annoyance, but it's worth overlooking in this case.

Before you write any more about your colorful alter ego, please use a nom de plume. :-)

98kb dl, no .net needed, portable, works with parent/child type of lists, partly customizable looks, protected pages, diary button, which automatically creates a page by day/date/month, a little marvel in it's smallness
