This is a fantastic free piece of software - for something that so many people need, there always needs to be a freeware version for the little guy. This is feature rich, and functions great. Would like to customise the interface a little more, but that is being really picky.
Keep up the good work, and THANK YOU.

Minor Notes update (1.2.7)

So many people are using web servers to backup their notebooks, and not zipping them as we recommend, that we enhanced Notes to recover when the server doesn’t copy all the notebooks’ components. This is the only change in this version.

This is great but there are still plenty of room for improvement:
- More formatting abilities in Floating note mode.
- The floating note window cannot be locked to the desktop for later use or continue where one left. Each time I put my laptop on sleep the window disappear and I have to create a new floating note which does not make sense.

The reason why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars is because the lack of possibility to lock the floating note to the desktop or even to pin it on apps so I can finish up where I left.

The Floating note feature is a major advantage for me and up to now I could not find something similar though there is SlidePad but it is not very mobile since this app offers left/right only.

I think this app has great potential and it is not fully exploited by the developers but it is still great. Now this are apps are would be willing to pay for compared to all the crap available totally out of price on Mac app store!

As most of the other reviewers have said, this is a great application. Has a very straightforward and easy to use interface, and the program lends itself to having a VERY functional/useful help/documentation component. Also has many very useful features that one would hope such a program would have. And, of course, the price just can't be beat.

For the record, the current version is 1.2.7, and the MU download link is not working. Just go to the developer's site (for which the link is working) and download the current version from there.

As a follow up, I appreciate this app the more I use it.

There is, however, a feature that would be very helpful: to be able to choose multiple page tabs for moving around at one time -- such as one is able to do with Finder. As is, one must move one page at a time, or create an auxiliary intermediate section to move them to first, and thee move this newly created section close to the one you want the pages moved to.

This application is incredible and the price (free) is nothing less than stunning.

It most closely resembles Curio. It is far simpler to operate though.

Try the export function. You can easily get very high quality notes back out of this app and into other programs.

I haven't seen free software of this caliber in years.

Notebooks are organized into sections (the larger tabs on the left in the image above), each of which contains as many pages as you like. All the open notebooks are shown in one window, for easy navigation and quick jumps.
