Notez

Notez is a desktop notes software solution that allows users to save an important task effortlessly.

As compared to other similar products, Notez does not assault users with tons of features, but instead it focuses on the essential ones. What's more, it integrates a somewhat interesting tool that could very well set it apart from the rest of the crowd.

Whenever you want to create a new note, simply right-click the Tray icon and use the dedicated option developed for this purpose.

By default, all notes are yellow and configured with a timer of three hours. This is where the interesting tool we were talking about comes into play. Notez uses a specially-developed system to automatically fade out notes as the time expires, with every single item disappearing completely when the timer gets to zero.

Although this may sound pretty helpful, you can barely notice the notes on your desktop in the last hour and it's almost impossible to read the text your wrote down earlier.

There are some options though, letting you adjust the note color, an alarm sound file and the font to be used for new notes.

Notez doesn't hamper system performance in any way and it seems to get along very well with all Windows iterations, without requiring administrator privileges on Windows 7 machines.

Designed to appeal to both rookies and professional users, Notez comes with a decent feature package, but certain improvements are clearly needed. The time blend feature is quite interesting, so with a few enhancements here and there, it could really become the ace up its sleeve.
