PrivateWiki

PrivateWiki is a small software application developed specifically for helping you create and store notes in a password-protected environment. In order to deploy the utility correctly on your system, you need to have the Java working platform installed on the target PC. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.

Gaining access to the tool’s GUI can be done in a short amount of time. You just need to double-click on the executable file because you do not have to go through an installation process.

You may opt for storing it on pen drives or other removable devices in order to carry it with you all the time. Plus, you may run it without having to apply administrative privileges.

In case you want to get rid of it, you can delete the package of files that you have downloaded from the Internet. It does not alter your Windows registry and leave other setup files on the host PC.

PrivateWiki reveals a clean feature lineup that helps you get an idea about how the program works on the fly. A help manual is not embedded in the package, only a ‘Readme’ file that contains short descriptions about the program’s capabilities.

A master password needs to be configured in order to block other users’ access to your private notes. By default, the master password is ‘wiki,’ and you are allowed to change it later on.

The application offers you the possibility to create a new note by providing information about the title and choosing the preferred type (public or encrypted). You can manually enter data in the current note’s window or paste the information from the clipboard.

You are allowed to copy data to the clipboard so you can quickly transfer it into other third-party programs, browse throughout your collection of notes by jumping to the previous or next record, as well as edit or delete notes.

To sum things up, PrivateWiki comes bundled with basic features for helping you take quick notes and encrypt them. It is suitable especially for less experienced users.
