KeepNote Review

Written by Joshua Anderson • Edited by Brenda Zhang

What Is KeepNote?

Productivity and organization go hand-in-hand with this tool. KeepNote is a note-taking application that acts as a hub for all of your lists and note sheets, with the ability to integrate images and rich-text formatting. You even have the option to retrieve past notes for reference when you need them.

How Does KeepNote Work?

Keepnote takes your notes and stores them in simple file formats (HTML and XML), serving as a cloud that holds all of your information in one central place so that you can locate, reference, and edit notes you've previously made. Additionally, you can archive and transfer notes at ease with the help of KeepNote's hierarchical organization and exporting options. One helpful tip: This tool can be especially useful for situations where you need to view multiple notes at once, side-by-side.

Top KeepNote Features

• Built-in backup, restore, and auto-save features
• Note-to-note links give users an easier way to refer to past entries
• File attachment insertion feature

The Good and the Bad

KeepNote Pros

• UTF-8 HTML file storing permits users to simply access past content by web browser
• KeepNote offers live spell checking
• Cross-platform compatibility allows for usage across all operating systems

KeepNote Cons

• The tool's interface lacks aesthetic creativity
• Confusingly intricate option menu and potentially not accessible to less technical people
• Users have quite often reported the tool as buggy, but there is an "issues list" to make sure bugs are noted and corrected

Insanely Cool Tip! Although KeepNote is not in active development anymore, it is now open source on GitHub, so anyone can make improvements to the tool or use it as it is. Issues can also be directly reported in the repository.

What's the Cost?

There is no cost to use KeepNote, but users can donate through PayPal if they would like to show support.
