Evernote The best notepad program I have found
Evernote is a notebook style application that stores your information both locally on your computer and on a cloud server so you can have access to it from anywhere.
It allows you to store text and a variety of other file formats where you can get to them anywhere.
I like that it offers an encryption option that lets encrypt individual notes so storing account passwords and other “important” information can be done with little worry of them being compromised.
Probably my favorite feature is that I can access it from my smart phone, which makes taking down ideas when they come to me very easy to do when I am not in front of a computer ( when most ideas come)
It also allows for making check lists which has helped me to organize projects and keep things straight.
Finally with the use of folders and the very powerful search feature I am able to find the notes and information very quickly and efficiently. This program has been a life saver for me. Helping me to organize my life into one place that I can access from pretty much everywhere.
They have 2 options of the program, a free version, and a paid version for those who need more storage.
It can be found at evernote.com
