Simple TODO

Simple TODO is a small-sized and simple-to-use software application that enables you to take quick notes on the desktop, so that you can remember important upcoming tasks.
It does not come packed with complex options or configuration settings, so it can be handled by any type of users, even those with little or no experience in such apps.

Portability advantages

Since there is no installation involved, you can extract the program files to any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to run, as well as save Simple TODO to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important factor worth taking into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

Attractive interface with simple options

The GUI is clean and intuitive, based on a regular window with a picture on the background and some example notes. You can edit existing notes via the right-click menu, add new ones from the top of the window by just writing a task and hitting the Enter key, as well as change the task color, mark the urgent ones with a star, clear completed jobs, as well as view only the completed or starred tasks.

Evaluation and conclusion

The app does not put a strain on PC performance, since it runs on low CPU and RAM. There were no kind of issues in our tests, since it did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. However, the colors do not correspond with their names in the list, and it is not possible to edit tasks by double-clicking them.
We must also take into account that Simple TODO has not been updated for a while. Although it is not feature-rich, the tool offers a simple solution to taking notes, and it can be used by anyone with ease.
