Scribblet for Mac2.22

A must have. I want a simple note taking, that I can access from menu bar or keyboard shortcut, to take note of texts, then save sorted in folders by subject or project, that I can store where I want (Dropbox or Google Drive forlders for example) and access with any other app or device. Perfect concept. And FREE. Thank you to the developer.

Is it just me or is anyone else able to launch this but can't see the MenuExtra?

Just as a disclaimer, I've served as a beta tester for the 2.0 incarnation of this app, and I've chipped in for a donation when this app was freeware. Personally, I realize that a lot of people see the new price as overly expensive, especially since more powerful apps like SOHONotes only cost $10 extra. I've actually given the developer my opinion on this that he might do well to lower the price. However, some other competing shareware apps that I can think of off the top of my head bracket Scribblet 2's price as well; ShoveBox is $25, and Snippet and CheckOff are $13. Given that Scribblet does a lot more than Snippet and CheckOff (in the context of usage as a general purpose note taking/management app), and does somewhat less than SnoveBox, I think $20 is a reasonable price, since the developer himself provides an excellent level of support for Scribblet; he's also very open to feature requests too. Additionally, I'd also hasten to mention that the last freeware version of Scribblet, 1.5.1 (which continues to work well for 10.6 and 10.5 for me) is still available from the developer here: http://www.not-salad.net/scribblet/files/Scribblet_1.5.1.zip - also, he's given out free 2.0 licenses for all of his donors, no matter how much they've donated.

Apparently, the developer will let you try scribblet for free; if you want to use it, you pay. It would be nice if MacUpdate was accurate about pricing.

Thoughts can indeed come to one at any time. Actually, the thought that came to my mind swiftly when I examined this application is that it is none too smart to advertise an application on MacUpdate as FREE when it is, in fact, nothing of the sort !!

I like the update, but the price is shocking. I think $20 is too much.

It's $19.95 according to their WEB Site.

The update option from Scribblet itself indicated the upgrade to 2.0 is NOT a free upgrade. A new 30-day trial will be initiated. However there is no mention of $$$ here. Is it free or not?

I finally found what I was missing, a basic little place to deal with text, that has a window that can float on top !!!!!!!!! YEAH !. Can be toggled shown/hidden or shown with a key... What more can one ask for... oh... I know... I'd lik a folder structure allowing to maintain a hierarchy in the notes. Adding file aliases and url's by DnD could be useful too, that way it could act to quickly launch whatever file is attached with a note. And also I'd love a HUD interface option, I love my black translucent windows :-) Anyway Scribblet is very practical.

I used the earlier versions of Scribblet every now and again but didn't find it quite right for my purposes. This latest update (1.5) though has seen the multiple notes feature added and that's made a world of difference to how useful I find the application. I've now imported all of my old to-do text files which were cluttering up my desktop and can view and edit them all from within Scribblet, which sits quietly in the menu bar waiting for my call. Scribblet has gone from a useable luxury to a fully functional everyday application, I've even put it in my startup list!
