Flashnote is a rough copy for your texts

How often do you need to quickly write something down?

Whether it's recording a telephone number when the phone book is far away, saving a URL to reuse or just copying pieces of text for editing, there is any number of examples. And just as many solutions: open Notepad, use a personal information manager, or use some other programs for creating and saving text. But all those options are slow. Even a PIM is a "heavy" class program. And before you use it to make rough notes, you must create a new file or find a place to write without creating a "litter" of files or damaging important work.

Solution

Flashnote was created for such cases. When you need a rough copy to save or to process some pieces of a text, Flashnote is small, quick and convenient. Press the shortcut-key combination and a rough copy is on screen in a flash of a second. Press ESC and the program hides. It's that simple. You don't need to find a place for text, to run Notepad or your PIM. Everything gets done quickly, simply and in a more convenient way.

Flashnote is NOT a personal information manager (PIM). Flashnote is NOT a substitute for Notepad or some other text editor. Flashnote is a fast rough copy utility that can be used any time during work process and without fear of damaging important data. You'll find it a real help for your computer work.

Read description from Harold & Candace Brochmann

Flashnote:- resides in the systray (tiny footprint). Click on it or type Alt+s and instantly you have a notepad-like page (any colour background and text). Auto saves everything. Faster than launching notepad, sticky notes etc. Excellent for copy/paste, quick notes, etc. Very fast on slow systems

Like a lot of other people I guess, I use and enjoy "Flashnote" since a long time (well, since the first version I think). I find it a great idea, and in my opinion the best way -in the freeware market- to save notes and reuse them. In the general market U do not find such a product, simple, alone -not "attached" and depending to another big one-... Now, with version 1.5, the sofware entered the sender of professional softwares, those ones you must count with, a "must have", and not only at home, I use it at work and make a great profit of it. It is very usefull, secure, not ram-eater allways present when U need it.

Flash Note: Not a Notepad but better and faster!
