Melon Pro

Melon Pro is a straightforward piece of software that comes bundled with standard tools for helping you manage notes and tasks in a user-friendly environment. It targets all types of users, regardless of their level of experience.

The interface consists of a regular window divided into two main areas - for adding new notes and tasks, and for viewing a list of all recorded entries.

Creating a new note is simple, since all you have to do is write a title and content. Once it is saved, the note is automatically added to the list of recorded entries. This list is accessible through two tabs, dedicated to notes and tasks, respectively.

When adding a new task, you can establish a deadline, set up a reminder, and mark it as completed.

It is possible to attach files of various formats to either notes or tasks (e.g. archives, audio, video, data, web), customize font settings, and use a search function (for all entries, current tab or current entry).

Melon Pro also integrates a spell checker. Notes and tasks can be saved to file (TXT format), printed or sent via email. From the Options panel you can make the app load notes on search, confirm on deletion, as well as enable an auto-saving feature and a sound reminder for tasks, among others.

The utility has a good response time and minimal impact on the system performance, using a light amount of CPU and memory. No error dialogs have been shown throughout our evaluation. Unfortunately, Melon Pro has not been updated for a pretty long time, and it does not include many advanced options.
