Backlog

Whenever you have a lot of work to do, a simple application that enables you to store important ideas or backlog items can be incredibly helpful.

As its name suggests, Backlog is a program designed to help you manage tasks that you need to get to sometime in the future, but it is also great for saving ideas or quickly taking notes.

No installation is needed to get started, so you can just unpack the archive and start the application by launching the executable file. The user interface features a pretty straightforward design, but it would have been great if some alternative color themes were available.

Backlog can be used to store anything you need, and even very long texts can be added to the list. When inserting new items, they can be added to the beginning or end of the board.

Only one board is available when first launching the application, but you can add as many as you need afterward. You can change their names and customize their order.

When it comes to adding new items to your boards, things could hardly be simpler. Essentially, you only need to type or paste the text and press Enter, though you may also wish to specify where the note should be added.

While Backlog doesn’t offer a lot of features, this is not necessarily a bad thing. If all you need is a basic utility that enables you to store ideas, tasks or anything else you wish to remember, this application will do the job just fine.

On the whole, Backlog is a straightforward electron-based application for users who need a simple way to store memos or tasks without complicating matters unnecessarily. It lacks more advanced features, though, and there are no alternative interface themes to choose from.
