There are all sorts of text editors around, but one that we all have used at one point is the built-in Notepad, offered by Microsoft in their Windows OS.

As far as jotting down your thoughts and the like, it does the job just fine. However, one can't help but think about how the program would behave if it had a tab-based design, allowing you to work on more than one writing project at a time. Fortunately, SuperPad was made with this scope in mind: it's an alternative to the built-in Notepad, featuring this great convenience booster.

This program is as simple as they come: simply open it up, and type away. You'll notice at first that the design is very similar to that of the Windows Notepad, and that's good because the familiarity makes it easier to operate such an app.

And if we are to continue this comparison with the base Notepad, you'll notice that this app features a tab-based design, which is especially useful if you want to work with multiple documents, or just want to group your writings in a specific manner. It's much better for convenience that way, as you no longer have to open a new window to jot down something separate from what you were writing.

Just like in the normal Notepad, this app gives you the choice to customize your documents: several fonts are available, while the size and color of your text can also be freely adjusted. However, do keep in mind that the adjustments will affect everything: the capability to have the changes only apply to the highlighted text is not present.

In the built-in Notepad, you had the option to toggle the Word Wrapping option. Here, it's automatically enabled, so you do not have to worry about it not being on.

Thanks to its tab-based design, SuperPad is an improvement over the Windows Notepad, scoring a lot of convenience points because of that.

What's new in SuperPad 2.5.0.0:

  • Allows opening of updater if signature invalid
  • Fixed a lot of bugs
  • Merry Christmas
