What is QuickNotes?

Have you ever wanted to jot down something quick, and you found that you had to create a new text file, type in the text, save it somewhere, and that you had to do this every time? Do you find this cumbersome and slow? Well, then QuickNotes is definitely for you!

QuickNotes runs in the system tray, and you can make it stay always-on-top window on your desktop.

Known Issues
Know Issues

- Each note is restricted to 32KB of text only.

Although I've tried my best to avoid them, QuickNotes may have some 'undocumented security features' (to be read "bugs") that I am not aware of. If this is so, please contact me and tell me the problem. If QuickNotes crashes, it will create a QCKNOTES.LOG file in it's directory. This is very useful for me to determine what the bug was, so please attach it to your message.
