Butterfly

While writing things down on paper is a generally good idea, the truth is that you can easily lose your notes this way and you are likely to have a hard time with organizing. This is why having your thoughts, ideas and any other creative concept stored electronically can greatly simplify things.

Butterfly is a note taking app that enables you to make electronic notes and conveniently export them to other devices, such as your smartphone or tablet.

The app includes an installer as well as portable version, so feel free to download the one that suits your needs. The interface is clean and non-distracting, yet smooth, fresh and modern. You can just open the app and draw or write down anything you need.

The program comes with quite a few customization options, starting with the background that you can select a color, stroke width, box and axes count. You can use the current color palette of the app, but keep in mind that you also have the possibility to import your own, making it a good choice for design concepts.

The pen comes with expected features, such as palette, stroke width, multiplier and fill. At the same time, you can add text that you can customize accordingly and you have an eraser available, in case you need to make modifications.

It is worth mentioning that the tool saves your notes locally, so you do have to worry about any third-party accessing your files. However, as previously mentioned, the program allows you to export the files to other devices as well. If you want to make sure that you can access a certain file while away from home, simply export them as images or JSON files so that they can be opened with other devices.

Packing numerous customization options, but not being too crowded or distracting, Butterfly can be a great tool for anyone who needs to make notes or write down concepts constantly.
