notes

notes is a small piece of software that enables you to create memos with all the important reminders, lists and other things that you want to avoid forgetting without too much hassle.

Includes a minimalistic, yet clean and intuitive interface

Considering that the program does not require setup, you can just unpack it in the desired location and then run it without any further configuration. The application comes with a simple UI that is designed as a table and hence, provides you with extra data that can help you identify memos that may share the same name.
Therefore, in addition to the name, you can preview the dates when the notes are created and modified as well as their size. It is necessary to mention that the filenames generated from the first line of text you enter in your note. While it can save you some time as it removes this extra step, it would be helpful if the tool included the option to name your memos.

Allows you to set dedicated key combinations

The utility revolves around the idea of convenient and hence, the app is designed to save and create backups of the notes automatically. In addition, you can add key combinations to access the tool and to start a new note or close the application hitting the Escape key. Moreover, the utility enables you to copy all content to clipboard and thus, save even more time and get less distracted.
Since you do not have to name your files, use shortcuts to add new memos and copy the content to clipboard with just one click, you can considerably improve your overall productivity and perhaps, contribute to a better workflow.

A useful tool for streamlining your workflow

In the eventuality that you are searching for a lightweight note taking tool that you can quickly access via custom hotkeys, then you can consider giving notes a try.
