MonteNote

Whether you're working on an important project for school or your job, or you're just the kind of person who likes to write scribbles and mark favorite items, you need a text editor for gathering all your thoughts in a single place.

Putting emphasis on simplicity and elegance, MonteNote tries to step up the game of a common text editor. Made with the Electron framework, the app is packed in a sophisticated-looking interface and includes rich editing and management features.

Notes can be organized into notebooks and saved to files, making it easy for multiple PC users to work with this application without having to worry about overlapping files.

The predominantly white theme that contains the editing area and search box is backed by darker tones assigned for the home, note, notebooks and delete buttons.

You can choose between several, uncommon and stylish fonts (e.g. "Indie Flower", "Playfair Display") provided by MonteNote, and even assign distinct fonts to different text selections within the same note. Multiple tags can be assigned to notes in order to easily locate them later.

More familiar but still practical Office editing features are available, such as changing the text size, crossing out text, customizing text color, writing subscript, superscript, headers or quotes, as well as creating numbered, bullet or check lists. It's also possible to insert images or attach other types of files, and to write math formulas.

The note app worked smoothly in our tests while remaining light on system resources usage. On the downside, it doesn't have a spellchecker. Also, some buttons are not accompanied by descriptions on mouse hover, and the setup package is fairly large.

Nevertheless, MonteNote provides a sophisticated approach to writing and organizing notes, backed by cool fonts and handy customization settings.
