Loved this app. I used the Notepad desk accessory in MacOS 9 for a long time, kept a lot of notes on it, and this allowed me to migrate those notes easily to OSX. I continued using it until Apple killed off 32-bit support with Catalina. It was a good, simple, useful application the likes of which are few and far between, and I still recommend it for anyone using an earlier version of OSX despite the fact that it is no longer supported by its developer.

A good App for a good Price

Nice, would like to see more of the original look and feel. The same window style, à la original, would be nice (no title bar, good ol' page flip animation). I like how you can keep track of the pages you have going, but at the same time still miss the page flip and overall interface, and I'd be willing to sacrifice the nice new features like backgrounds and a separator control to keep track of how many pages there are. Still, this took a good while to make and is high quality. In terms of bugs, I found just one: the minimum amount of pages is 8. Press the button to delete a page and choose to go ahead with this, then make a new page. The new page will be numbered 8 because the page count supposedly decreases, but the control doesn't remove the eighth section from it. Nonetheless, keep working on it! If you work hard enough, I'm sure the day will come when it's an exact reproduction, which I'd love :-)

Great to see an update on this app. A couple of issues. The scroll bar for an individual page only exists on page 3 (at least on my computer). A few times there were some strange effects while scrolling the notes on page three. I wish I had taken a screen shot when this happened. At first I would see lines underneath the words. Then the characters started bending back at the top of the page kind of like the marquee at the beginning of Star Wars No I don't take acid). If I switched a page then went back, the page would be normal. It happened about three times. It has not happened since I moved the app. to the applications folder. When this happened, I was running it from my download folder. I do not know if this would make any difference. I have a MacBook Pro running on 10.4.1. I have used this particular notepad for years any am very happy with it's simplicity. In fact I use it every day and want to thank the developer for updating it.

Sorry about those startup crashes. It was an error with the application trying to read the data file on a system that had never had the application run on it before. The issue has been corrected and itshould function correctly now

What makes this better than TextEdit that is included in OSX?

Per me deve essere ancora molto perfezionato. Se si aggiungono troppe schede non Ã¨ possibile utilizzarle. A che serve dunque il poterle aggiungere?

At first I thought "What's the difference between this and TextEdit?" So I downloaded the app to test it out. Tried launching 3 times and got: "The application NotePad has unexpectedly quit" etc, etc. The difference I discovered is that TextEdit works and subsequently deleted NotePad.

More kudos for your glorious lil sanity saver, April. Thanks!!! Had no trouble downloading 2.0.1 just now with Safari 1.2.1. (My only problem is hating to quit 2.0 long enough to install 2.0.1! *LOL*)

File (.tgz) downloaded instantaneously, but only 140 KB not the full 400+ KB, and I found Expander having problem expanding it into .dmg file. After force-quit it, the expanded .dmg file inside a folder could not be mounted. I'd really love to try this app if only I could somehow download the file.

An excellent deja-vu plus product by a talented and responsive developer. I agree that donations are in order.

This is a wonderful app. Although it's not the "classic" notepad in some ways I like it better. It's free, but I'd pay for it none the less. It's that damn good.

As a follow-up to my anonymous review directly below, I would like to add that 1.5fc2 mends the one thing that, even though I was extremely satisfied with NotePad before, I had wished for: In the previous version, I had been unable to quit by clicking the red bubble; I had to go to the menu. Now, I have the red bubble, what more is there to wish for? Besides the creation of a browser by someone that would actually make being on the web as fun as it used to be, I don't think there's anything (in regard to software, that is).

People, did you notice that this is free--as in FREE? What do you want/expect? Apple shoves World Book NotePad down our throats and along comes someone who creates a note pad like the one we all miss. I say thanks, thanks, thanks.

I put it through its paces. This is a work in progress, but it is better than most betas I have seen. Developer is responsive and pleasant. It is likely to be a hit with those of us who want the ease of use and sure-footedness of the Classic Apple pad.

Sorry. This is an okay first project. Needs to have the ability to add pages, and resizing shouldn't cause buttons, and page number to loose their relative positions. I know you'll have an update in a few days. ;)

Very good, works basically the same as the Classic note pad. Some additions (that I always though would be good, or were already in the Classic note pad) I suggest are a 'new note' menu selection, basic rich text functionality [style & color) and an 'Export note' File menu selection that takes a note, saves the contents as an rtf, then clears the note. Just so long as the interface stays simple. Though no changes would not reduce the app's usefulness.

This is actually quite good.
