What People Say?

I was an instant fan of SideNotes within minutes of installing. Love having lightning-fast access to my notes, categorized, and formatted exactly like I want. I live on my MacBook Pro, so this is the perfect solution for me.

I've been using SideNotes since Marcin first showed me back in May. It is a handy program for keeping my notes nearby. My notes are organized and always around when I need it. Just one click on the side bar and I have an easy place to put and get to my notes. Thanks for a wonderful product!

I got tired of being on the phone, and the person asking if I had a pen or paper for a confirmation number or something like that. Before I would go to my menu bar and try (and fail) to open a quick note app I had previously installed. Most of the time though, I just looked for a pen on my desk instead and wrote it down by hand since other quick note apps are not nearly as easy to bring up when you have 30+ menu bar items installed like I do.

I like SideNotes because its simple but full featured. It keeps my random notes in order and its always there for me. (In my case with a couple of hot keys that make it even easier to call up.)

The fact that it has folders and looks great is just more bonus on an already very useful app.
