Simple Notes

Simple Notes is a small software application designed to help you stick notes on your desktop while offering support for a text-to-speech mode and several customization features.

The layout is not quite intuitive, so rookies may spend some time trying to understand the function of each built-in parameter. Looks are far from being impressive, as the minimalistic panel is quite crowded.

Simple Notes gives you the possibility to add multiple notes on your screen, enter the text message directly into the current note or paste it from other third-party programs, copy the text to the clipboard, as well as make use of the text-to-speech mode for hearing the custom text being spoken aloud.

What’s more, you are allowed to export the text embedded in the selected note to plain text file format, alter the size and color of the text, change the note’s color, set up the transparency, make the current note remain on top of other windows, delete text, pin notes on the screen, as well as place the note in the middle of the desktop with just one click.

Tests revealed that Simple Notes carries out a task quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

To sum it up, Simple Notes comes packed with some handy features for helping you place notes on your desktop in order to remember important events but it still needs some improvements in the GUI area to make the entire process more intuitive.
