SlipBoxA slip-box is a loose collection of slips in a box. Each time you have an idea you scribble a note on slip, put it into the box and forget about it. When the time comes to use your ideas, the functionality of the program helps you to quickly find relevant slips and, what is more, relations and links between different slips by associative searches (information scents).

Notational Velocity has an excellent minimalist approach if you want something even more focused.

I have always envisioned having a notes/ideas program that was essentially unstructured, yet allowed you to process or view your data in different ways. The way this program works largely allows you to do this. This is a very sparse and simple app. In general this is a very good thing- this is a far cry from kitchen sink-type apps like Circus Ponies Notebook or AquaMinds NoteTaker, but runs nice and lean. A couple of extra small features here and there would help maximize the usefulness of the app IMO.
The main thing I would like to see is better tag management features, since tags are so important in SlipBox. Renaming or deleting tags (as you can with labels in GMail), and being able to batch process entries would greatly improve usability. The ability to assign tags to multiple marked/selected entries is important for people importing lots of information from other note/PIM apps. I have literally hundreds of entries in my old app, and not being able to apply even some general tags to batches of related entries is a problem.
I waver between giving this app 4 and 5 stars. With some extra polish it is definitely a 5 star app, but the promise alone warrants the rating IMO.

One standard features well done: Keywords and source information for your notes are easily and transparently assigned.
Most noteworthy: Most other note organizers are either flat, or they require you to build your hierarchy. SlipBox however automatically builds a useful hierarchy of your notes from keywords.
Current issues for 0.3.1:
- No way to tab between the various entry fields
- Stores all information in one file, i. e. not Spotlight-friendly
- Does not allow attachments of files (maybe the underlying format should be HTML and not RTF?)
The first one should be easy to fix. The second two might find a solution if the file format is a package, i. e. a folder with multiple files of any kind.
- Tabbing: You actually can tab between the fields; however, to leave the main text field you have to use Control-Tab, because otherwise the tab could not be used within the text field. For switching between the other fields (including the Scent Table) just use Tab.
- Spotlight-friendliness: I agreee, that should/will change in some future version.
- Attachment of files: Included in version 0.4. (Let me know if there are still problems. RTF is a good underlying file format, but export to html/xml/tex is on my to-do list.)
