Piggydb

Piggydb is a Java-based software application designed specifically for helping you organize interrelated and textual content into in a virtual working environment. You can use this program as an outliner, diary or notebook.

The tool comes in a lightweight and portable package which can be deployed on your system on the fly. The best part about it is that you don’t need to go through an installation process as you can directly run the utility on the target computer.

The portable mode brings some advantages to your computer. The app doesn’t leave any entries in the Windows registry and store configuration data. You can also copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices and take it with out.

Piggydb can be controlled via your preferred web browser, be it Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer or another one.

It delivers a clean interface where you can keep track of your information with the aid of multiple fragments. You may create relationships between the generated fragments.

Piggydb helps you store data on an online platform and insert multiple fragments for organizing your pieces of information. A new fragment can be easily created by providing the title, adding a tag, and writing a user-defined message right in the dedicated panel.

You can also paste the text from other third-party tools, preview the fragment before adding it to the database, as well as alter the text in terms of bold, italic or strike-through options, insert links, enter the fragment ID, add a custom file from your computer, and embed the quote symbol. A new fragment can also consist of a single document imported from your system.

The application allows you to create relationships between fragments using the drag-and-drop support, preview the content of a fragment in a new HTML webpage, edit or bookmark the fragment, as well as tag fragments as trash or add them to the homepage, and select multiple fragments at the same time.

The viewing mode can also tweaked using the built-in slider which allows you to hide or show details about your registered fragments. Plus, you can make the tool shuffle the notes, sort them in an ascending or descending order, or filter data by update or creation date, ID, title, creator or updater.

What’s more, you are allowed to generate RSS feeds containing all your fragments, check out a list with all registered tags, perform searches throughout the database, and filter data by tags or custom criteria.

Piggydb lets you change the current password, export the current database to a file for making sure you can easily restore it in case of data loss, as well as check out information about the current database, such as title, settings (database path, anonymous access), statistics (number of fragments, relationships, tags and filters) and debug info (Java version, vendor and directory, memory and database version).

Piggydb helps you create a database where you can store any type of information, such as your thoughts, ideas, articles, famous quotes, and to-do lists, and build a network structure where fragments can be classified using hierarchical tags. Not all of the program’s features are highly intuitive so taking some time in order to understand how the utility works may be a good idea.
