It's hard to believe no one has reviewed this app in the couple of months it's been out. Let me say flat out that it's just great as a do-anything organizer, simply considered as a Java-MAC hybrid. When you add the cross-platform capabilities (it's modelled on, and surpasses, a WIN app named Treepad), it becomes irreplaceable.

OK, Java grouches are going to say it's slow, it's ugly, etc, etc .... I can only say I'll take a small hit in performance (if it's there, I haven't noticed it, beyond slow loadup) for the kind of versatility Jreepad offers. I'm not just talking about the ability to take my old Windows cr** and make it function under MAC. (By the way, if you're a converted Win person like me, and kept your old files in Treepad form, Jreepad will read them right off the transfer disk.) I'm talking about versatility =within= MAC. It will swallow text clippings without a problem, and has lots of import-export options.

Because it keeps its files in a pure-text form, I can keep them as .txt files and do searches with EasyFind. (EasyFind is free from Devon. You need it because of Jreepad's one minor flaw: it searches only notes, not within notes. But it's a cool incremental search, and if you keep tiny notes, it offers no problem at all.)

Jreepad works beautifully with Devon products. I use it to siphon off accumulating notes in DevonNotes. Because it uses plain text format, I can also convert its content easily for SBook, and therefore MAC Address Book, and so on ... Also works just fine with HogBay, since both have a tree structure.

Investigate it for yourself, and you'll find it indispensable. And you can't beat the price ....
