DiddleBug is an application for the Palm
family of handheld computers. It is similar to a yellow-sticky note in that
it allows you to scribble information onto your Palm device using digital
ink. You can set alarms for each note from a pop-up list, and DiddleBug
will not let you forget your reminder. In addition, DiddleBug has
IntelliBoogerTM
extentsions
that allow you to transfer information from within DiddleBug to other
applications, such as the built-in ToDo and DateBook apps.
DiddleBug is based on the
Diddle sketching
engine, and has similar functionality to
BugMe!, which explains the DiddleBug name. Users of Diddle will find
the interface familiar, with the same menu shortcuts and the same hideable
titlebar. DiddleBug is free to use and licensed under the
GNU General Public License.
DiddleBug is a work in progress. If you have any suggestions for improvement,
or find a bug in the program, please mail me
(Mitch Blevins). You can download

- Freehand sketching with user adjustable smoothing and filtering.
- A variety of pen widths and shapes, including ones for Caligraphy!
- Sketching of lines, circles, rectangles, ovals, and other shapes.
- Nine different fill patterns (from white to black) that can be applied
to freehand sketching, as well as lines and shapes.
- Insertion of text (3 different fonts) into sketches.
- Titlebar can be hidden for more sketching area.
- A hardware button can be assigned to quickly create new sketches.
Optionally, it can be assigned to launch another application, which allows
you to "share" a hardware button between DiddleBug and another app.
- Alarms can be viewed and set either as an absolute time
(Tomorrow, 8:15pm), or as a running countdown.
- Can have multiple alarms at once (one per sketch), which will persist
even across a soft reset.
- Alarms can be snoozed after display to allow you to postpone
dealing with it.
- Sketch reminders can be locked to prevent accidental deletion or
overwrite.
- IntelliBoogerTM extensions allow
you to create entries
for the built-in apps directly from within DiddleBug.
