Keynote (notetaking software)


KeyNote is the name of a free notetaking and outlining text editor produced by Tranglos Software for the Windows operating system.

Overview

Keynote is based on the tree data structure concept, allowing "nodes" in a tree panel to represent separate fields within a single text file. Individual documents within the tree can be edited in Rich Text Format or simple text. As RTF format is complicated and may cause problems in user applications, the option of using the plain-text format may be an advantage, especially if the user wants to have a small-size notes file, also easily viewable in any text viewer.
Import and export of KeyNote files to and from TreePad files is fully supported. Each field is then treated as a separate virtual document within the tree.
KeyNote is open-source software developed in Delphi 3. As of October 2005, development of the original program has ceased.

Keynote NF

Development was picked up in 2006 by Daniel Prado; the new development project is called "KeyNote NF", to distinguish it from other Google search results. Initially released on , and presently on , it includes features such as alarm reminders on nodes.
Current versions are 1.7.8.1 stable and 1.7.9.8 Beta, however since that time the project does not seem to be under active development.
