A note taking application for saving text paragraphs really fast.

  DOWNLOAD Free

Cinta Notes is a note taking application which relies on saving text paragraphs, no matter from what sources, by means of pressing a predefined combination of keys.

In my opinion, the main asset of the program is its simplicity. At first glance, this tool seems to be tiny, without any peculiar features. I suppose the developer's idea was to design something that could help you record pieces of written information on the spot. Just press a hot key (Ctrl+F12 by default, but it can be changed), save the fragment, and go back to whatever you were doing before. You don't need to customize the appearance of your text - that's the job of a text editor.

You can either paste selected paragraphs from other document files and websites, or compose a text of your own (e.g. some raw ideas that have just come to your head). I must say I was impressed to see that the text clipped from the Internet is saved together with its original website link. Another thing worth mentioning is the tagging function: you can thus group your stored written passages into categories; and when you click on a tag, you have a view of all the notes it's assigned to.

Cinta Notes runs in the background, hides in the taskbar, and pops up only when you "call" for it with the right combination of keys.

I enjoy using CintaNotes note taking manager already for several years! It is really simple and higly effective to use. Hotkey-driven note clipping makes it fast and effortless. Hierarchic tagging helps to build my knowledge base. Very quick and convenient search function and many more useful features. It Is Freemium, so there is a free version with restricted functionality available.
