KuroNote

While most work or education-related assignments require one’s full focus, free of any possible distractions, more creative endeavors may require some visual artistic cues, such as colorful backgrounds or suggestive wallpapers to provide writers with a touch of inspiration in the quest for the words worthy of expressing their feelings and ideas, which is where a simple yet intuitive text editor known as KuroNote comes into play.

Writing down almost any kind of information warrants proper protection from both curious and ill-willed eyes, and the app provides users with the option of locking their notes with a custom password through the Advanced Encryption Standard, thus giving them total control of their data on a local level without having to worry about cloud synchronization and the risks that accompany it.

As such, not only can users be the judge of how protected their notes are by foregoing any character requirements, but the built-in password strength analyzer can also help them pick one that is harder to guess by any potential snoopers. Fans of RPG-style games will also appreciate the program’s built-in achievement point-based reward system, meant to encourage them to write more frequently when motivation is running low.

By default, the app lets you pick from a respectable library of preset themes, each focusing on a main, vibrant hue, or a larger color palette, depending on the topic of your story. However, what sets this program apart from others is represented by the sheer amount of freedom users have in terms of altering the interface, since the menu toolbar, the status bar and the font shades can be changed into any hue belonging to the RGB color space that fits the custom wallpaper one can pick when creating a personalized theme.

When researching a specific set of descriptions for designing a particular character, users can make the app float above the opened browser window at all times in order to glance at the target text multiple times without Alt-Tabbing. Moreover, the more complex the workflow gets, the more features are needed, which is why KuroNote also offers an optional Rich Text Formatting mode when having to underline keywords important for the main plot within a paragraph or attach a landscape photo meant to be used as a template for setting the atmosphere in a particular chapter’s story.

Whether you want to start writing a journal meant to be kept safe from prying eyes, or you wish to unleash your inner storyteller and paint the text canvas with unique descriptions, KuroNote may be the right tool for the job, given its support for encryption and colorful themes that adapt to your writing style.
