Notational Velocity is an application that stores and retrieves notes.
In Notational Velocity, the same area is used both for creating notes and searching. I.e., in the process of entering the title for a new note, related notes appear below, letting users file information there if they choose. Likewise, if a search reveals nothing, one need simply press return to create a note with the appropriate title.
Its unique advantages are as follows:

Its unique advantages are as follows:
- Modeless Operation
Searching for notes is not a separate action; rather, it is the primary interface. - Incremental Search
Searching encompasses all notes' content and occurs instantly with each key pressed. - Transparent Encryption
All information is compressed and encrypted (enabled optionally) before it is recorded to disk. - Mouseless Interaction
Notational Velocity's window was designed for keyboard input above all else, and thus has no buttons. - Data Instead of Documents
There is no manual "saving" in Notational Velocity; all modifications take effect immediately. - Complete External Access
Synchronize natively with Simplenote, or via files in Dropbox with PlainText, Elements, iA Writer, and other iOS apps.

I also love the fact that the notes database is encrypted.
My only wish is that I could find an iOS app that will sync with NV in some way *other* than via the cloud. All the solutions I've found sync via Dropbox, Simplenote, or Evernote. But since I have some very private information in my NV notes, I don't want to have them sitting unencrypted on some third-party server.
What I'm looking for is an app that syncs with NV locally (via iTunes, Bonjour, or LAN WiFi). Any suggestions???

What's the issue with having ones Dropbox contents be encrypted? Are encrypted volumes unsafe via Dropbox, because such sparse bundles are quite possible on there. I think.

Just to prove how great this app is, I've been using the 2003 version 1.1.1 for all these years, flawlessly. Glad to see NV is alive and well. I'll get the iPhone app next.

On one hand, I love that it adds vi style navigation with control key. I have setup my capslock to control so it's really easy to navigate in NV now (rather than use cmd+h/j/k/l).
On the other hand I now can't use some of the emacs keybinding (which supported system wide in Mac OS). One of the most important and sorely missed is control+k to delete to the end of line. I've used NV to manage my to do list, and usually just put the cursor at the beginning of the line and delete/kill it.
Overall though, great work by developer. And NV is still the best notetaking app out there.

In comparison, Notational Velocity has enviable velocity, and its vertical orientation cuts down on on-screen real estate. But I was floored by its seamless import of PDFs. Presently, I use two types of notepad applications: textual (Notational Velocity), and graphic (Notebook, VooDooPad), and both types are essential.
