DESCRIPTION
Sidenote tries to catch the "Stickies" spirit but in the form of a multi-document drawer that will hide in the corner of your screen (left or right). You can use it to take all your daily notes, include images and easily modify text color and font. Sidenote will automatically expand so that you will be able to drag into it any picture, text clipping or pdf file from the finder or your favorite application. Sporting notes auto-saving, you'll never have to save your notes. Sidenote will handle that for you. You can also print them or export them to rtf.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.7.3
  • Resolves the GUI glitch on Leopard and adds Spaces compatibility.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

SUPERC  I LOVE Sidenote, however since my update to leopard, it seems a little buggy. I have spaces turned OFF and I still have to "choose" the application in expose in order to gain access to the drawer. I hope that these issues will be addressed in future updates!

Thanks again for a great, useful, program.

DNEM41  i just want to start out by pointing out that this is a 5 out of 5 overall, and that i gave EOU and features rating a 4 and a 2 respectively. thats because im hoping the people who made this will pay attention to these because this app is so close to being the perfect note-taker:

- i would like the ability to copy and paste screenshots into and out of the note when it pops up. sometimes i just need to hold a screenshot where i can see it until i decide where i want to use it for good. in essence the note-taker would act as a visual clipboard.

- i wish i could adjust the timing of the open and close separately. it gives me the option to choose whether i want to open with hotkeys only or close with hotkeys only, but it groups the popup/close delay as one setting. sometimes i would like it to open faster and close slower using my mouse. that way i can use my mouse to bring it up immediately and go and grab what i want to paste it into the note w/out it closing on me real fast.

- yes i would like the option not to have/adjust the auto-save option. i usually end up saving it manually if i think its that important anyway.

-overall, using the drag menu to navigate between notes when the note is open is pretty easy.

- i do wish that right underneath the drag menu, the icons were on the bottom instead. if this would get rid of the drag pad that is already at the bottom, then this would be a problem (since i like to sometimes move it up and down the side), but maybe the drag space can be put somewhere else (or hopefully it wouldnt interfere with it).

- yes, the expose thing is annoying but i can deal w/ it in the shortrun

this is like the only 6 things out of the maybe 8 that are stopping this from being the most functional/useful note-taking app out there. its already the best, in my opinion, but that doesnt mean it cant still be made better.  (Version 1.7.3)

FAYYAZB  I used to love it till I upgraded to Leopard and all my default note NOTES have suddenly cleared out. I had a backup but today again all my notes are my empty. I think I have to look for a good alternative till Sidenote is upgraded.  (Version 1.7.3)
