A free, lightweight and user-friendly personal notes manager
CintaNotes will be your essential assistant in the daily task of collecting numerous pieces of information, like your own thoughts and ideas, article excerpts, blog postings, famous people quotes, research data, curious facts, Wikipedia entries, you name it.

Can clip text from anywhere.
Just select it and press the hotkey!
It lets you quickly jot down and tag any piece of useful information that you come across. Unlike browser-based tools like Google Notebook, CintaNotes does not require a web browser to work: the text-clipping "magic" works in any application that can copy text to clipboard!

Fast as-you-type searching
Retrieving information is also trivial: just open CintaNotes and start typing, and only notes containing the typed phrase will remain in the list. More sophisticated search criteria are supported, like searching by title or by URL the note was taken from.

No sticky notes clutter
CintaNotes saves your screen real estate and does not clutter it with "sticky notes". All notes are neatly organized in an easily navigable list.

Run it from your flash drive
CintaNotes is a totally self-contained application, meaning that you can put it on a flash drive and run it directly from there. In this way, your notes will always be with you.

# Search for multiple tags: Just type your tags in the search box, separated with spaces. And you don't have to type whole tags, partial matches are also ok.
# Fixed regression: Tags were not autoconverted to lower case which lead to problems with search.
# Fixed: CintaNotes did not save page URLs when clipping from Opera@USB.
