TurboNote 3.4

TurboNote 3.4 offers an effective tool which helps you to boost your productivity, saving time and money. This popular downloadable Windows freeware is simple to install, easy to use and highly reliable, making it a powerful, inexpensive way to keep organized. You can "stick" notes to your screen and send them to others on your network.

Use them for reminders, messages, to-do lists, Web and email addresses. You can change note colours and sizes, have them ring alarms, print them, lock them and keep your screen uncluttered by hiding them. Notes even stay around when you turn your computer off. TurboNotes Quick Launch feature also lets you open Web addresses, programs and files which appear in notes, simply by double-clicking.

Network support suits organisation-wide deployment and TurboNote can be run by other programs or batch files to create new notes and send them to other computers. Sponsored versions are ideal for Web marketing. A full affiliate program, offering lifetime commissions, is available with the shareware version, TurboNote+.

1. TurboNote+ can help you, with handy on-screen notes that:
   • Remind you of jobs to do
   • • Never lose track of important dates, vital information or necessary filenames again. Quickly drag and drop URLs, file paths, selected text. Just grab information or drop it on a TurboNote+ to send to someone, and vice versa. No more risk of mistyping URLs, account numbers or filenames!

   • • Use the alarm and schedule functions, along with the calendar, to make sure you never forget an appointment or miss a deadline or birthday.
   • Web or email addresses to remember

2. Manage your tasks with notes that can:

   • Be fully customized
   • • Easy-to-use menus allow you to customize individual notes or set up the default look you want. Change the colour and size, choose your preferred font, lock them in place or create special templates.
   • Be password protected
   • • Keep the contents of your private notes secure by password protecting them so others can't see them. Or send notes to others in encrypted form — very handy for shared workstations and groupwork. If you're worried about forgetting your password, we also offer a special Password Recovery service
3. You can easily manage your notes:
   • Roll them up

   • Colour code or template them
   • • Pick a colour or background image to suit you. Notes with ruled lines, phone message templates, checklists and other built-in styles let you quickly and easily select the kind of note that suits you.
   • Lock note contents, or hide them
   • • Locking a note provides additional security for its contents. Use the hide feature to clear your screen and see the notes you want to, when you want to.
   • Use the Note Manager to group or filter
   • • Use the built-in Note Manager for fast, efficient control over grouping, organisation or filtering; or for quick searches, checks of titles, text, alarm status and so on. That´s very handy if you have as many as 600 notes to work with!
   • Automatic or one-click backup
