KeepNote is a note taking application that works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS X. With KeepNote, you can store your class notes, TODO lists, research notes, journal entries, paper outlines, etc in a simple notebook hierarchy with rich-text formatting, images, and more. Using full-text search, you can retrieve any note for later reference.

KeepNote is designed to be cross-platform (implemented in Python and PyGTK) and stores your notes in simple and easy to manipulate file formats (HTML and XML). Archiving and transferring your notes is as easy as zipping or copying a folder.

OpenSource

This request was discussed with John via the support chat. Below is a excerpt from that conversation, which John requested to have included.

[14:33] <@JohnTHaller> I only see a few things optimized for home inventory in searching specifically for that and for WIndows it's some smaller paid publishers. On Linux, a couple abandoned apps. Nothing cross-platform.
[14:34] <GJac> Would it be difficult to build a portable app? with parts of LO, Guide, RedNotebook?
[14:35] <@JohnTHaller> This could be an option: http://rasm.ods.org/keepnote/
[14:35] <@JohnTHaller> Not portable, yet, but could be
[14:36] <@JohnTHaller> It stores stuff as a filesystem within a specific folder.
[14:36] <GJac> Would that be a project the group would take ok? I know a large arena of people who would benefit from it.
[14:39] <@JohnTHaller> I'd wager someone would pick it up if you post a note in Request Apps with the details. It is open source. It's Python-based, but the Windows build includes all dependencies. Settings are stored in %APPDATA%\keepnote. And I said it's a good candidate for inclusion. (include all that info)
[14:40] <GJac> Awesome. I'll do that. Thanks John - That is really helpful.
[14:41] <@JohnTHaller> You posted an app request yet?
[14:41] <GJac> Not yet. Looking for that now,.. and I'd wager it's under development, So that is were I am starting.
[14:42] <@JohnTHaller> Quick guidelines: https://portableapps.com/node/4507
[14:42] <@JohnTHaller> You can post it here: https://portableapps.com/forums/general/request_apps
[14:42] <@JohnTHaller> It's only been mentioned in our forums once, 4 years ago, in connection with Linux apps, so it would be a new request.
