When you mentioned Keynote you hit my key! I used Keynote very happily for years. Then I found Essential PIM (freeware) to be a terrific replacement. It not only imported all my Keynote files & kept them organized nicely, but also added a sort of trimmed down version of MS Outlook as a great organizer. Take a look at it & you might be pleasantly surprised! www.essentialpim.com Hi everyone! When you mentioned Keynote you hit my key! I used Keynote very happily for years.

I’ve checked out many programs over the years. Recently, I delved into Evernote 3. Always, I stay fixed on Keynote.

Keynote delivers. The programmer made it USB-ready. He gave it virtual notes for each notebook. He did it all.

There's a full-featured free version, too. As for portability, it'll work anywhere you have a net connection. This won't meet everyone's criteria, but not being tied to a single computer or even a certain USB stick does have its benefits. Don’t forget to check out Luminotes at http://luminotes.com/

It does look a bit dated. And the fact that it was written in Delphi doesn't help (even though it is open-source). But I thought it was a worth a look, and thanks for doing that. By the way, I've enjoyed your blog. You've just been added to my Google Reader subscriptions. ;) I agree, it’s functional but not as slick as some other apps. It does look a bit dated.

It's interesting that you mention KeyNote because during my research I found a number of references to it by people that said that they still preferred it, in spite of it no longer being supported. I figured that unsupported software, or rather software that is no longer being updated or improved, will not be popular with newbies. Following your comment I decided to download and try it. I can see why it's popular and in most ways it was what I was looking for. It doesn't have all the features that EverNote has and it's not as slick, but it's very functional and has a smaller footprint. This is a good option for minimalists/purists - I wish that someone would pick up the project. Here's how the creator described it: "Keynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook, based on Windows standard RichEdit control. It's always accessible with a single keypress, even if you work in another application. The basic idea in KeyNote is that you can have many separate notes within a single file. This means that you do not need to open several files - for most purposes it is enough to create only one file and several notes inside it. With the addition of the tree-type notes, you now have a three-dimensional notebook: many notes within one file and a multi-level, nested pages within a single note. Optionally, KeyNote can encrypt your data securely using the Blowfish or Idea algorithms. Keynote's interface and behavior are extremely configurable. " Julio, thanks for your feedback.

I tried NeoMem and EverNote, but wasn't too crazy about them. Although no longer supported, I've yet to find a replacement for <a href="http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html" rel="nofollow">KeyNote</a>, which is free, portable, and allows me to present information in a way I have yet to see in other note-taking applications (such as the multi-tab view). I use it every day, and have my GTD template built on it. Nice article. I tried NeoMem and EverNote, but wasn’t too crazy about them.
