Knowte Portable

Irrespective of whether your company has adopted the paperless business practice or you are just searching for a better way to keep your notes, memos and other pieces of information neatly organized, you have several types of tools to choose from.

Knowte Portable is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to get your thoughts down quickly and organize them into categories or notebooks.

The setup is quick, straightforward and does not take any special attention from your part, except for specifying the location where you want to decompress the archive. The interface is clean, appealing and easy to navigate, so it is unlikely that you can encounter any trouble regardless of your technical skills.

In case you put in an effort to create a special palette for your operating system, then you will be happy to learn that the application enables you to maintain the colors. Alternatively, you can select or create a new color theme from the Settings window.

The application is as simple to use as it looks. You can create a note by accessing the corresponding function in the lower section of the UI and typing or pasting the desired content. It is worth mentioning that the utility enables you to format the text using Bold, Italic, Strikeout, Highlight, Underline or Fixed width.

These options along with the possibility to add bullets can help you structure the content in a way that makes information easier to find. Alternatively, you can consider using the search function, in case you are looking for something very specific.

You should know that the app is not overly complex and hence, lacks advanced features, such as a synchronization that would enable you to access notes across all devices, for instance. While some users can do without sync, it would have been nice if the app included an alarm option in case you create notes with events or tasks.

In the eventuality that you are not looking for something fancy, but prefer a robust application that allows you to write notes, format, edit and organize them effortlessly, then Knowte Portable might be worth a try.
