DESCRIPTION

KeyNote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook, based on Windows™ standard RichEdit control.

It's always accessible with a single keypress, even if you work in another application.

A large number of text formatting functions allows you to create very readable, clear, and well-organized notes.
  The basic idea in KeyNote is that you can have many separate notes within a single file. This means that you do not need to open several files - for most purposes it is enough to create only one file and several notes inside it.

With the addition of the tree-type notes, you now have a three-dimensional notebook: many notes within one file and a multi-level, nested pages within a single note.

Optionally, KeyNote can encrypt your data securely using the Blowfish or Idea algorithms. KeyNote's interface and behavior are extremely configurable.

KeyNote is as simple to use as any text editor, but if you want, you can use many advanced functions that KeyNote offers, such as sending notes via email, glossary, hyperlinks, macros, styles, plugins, virtual nodes, and much more.
