Notes++

Notes++ is a tiny and portable software utility that enables you to quickly take notes in a text editor that actually resembles sticky notes.

It comes packed with just a few options that can be easily modified by users, even the ones with no previous experience in word processing software.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file in any location on the hard disk and just click it to run.

There is also the possibility to save Notes++ to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.

An important aspect worth taking into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, so there are no traces left behind after the app's removal.

The GUI is represented by a small frame with a yellow background that can be moved anywhere on the screen. You can adjust its opacity, make it stay on top of other windows, as well as show it in the Windows taskbar. As far as the text is concerned, it is possible to change the font type, size and style, as well as to enable horizontal and vertical scrollbars. There are no other notable options provided by this software program.

The app is pretty light when it comes to system resources, using low CPU and RAM. There were no kind of issues throughout our evaluation, as Notes++ did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. Although it does not integrate rich features, Notes++ offers a simple solution to quickly taking notes on the desktop, and it can be used by anyone.
