Just this morning I found this program called EverNote. Basically it’s a program for writing notes and todo lists. It can handle many other formats besides text. For example, you can draw/write by hand and embed images or files. Probably the coolest thing is ability to copy content straight from web browser. Very handy when doing research.

Also there is support for note templates. Unfortunately there is no UI for creating them so you have to write the XML files by hand. The Plus version also supports shape recognition which is really cool for drawing diagrams. It’s just too bad that the drawing mode doesn’t have ability to create text fields. Writing with pen tablet is OK but using mouse is really not an option, at least not for me.

There’s 3 versions available (here’s comparison chart)
- EverNote Plus $49,95
- EverNote Portable $19,95
- EverNote Free
