@RocketScience

I know it isn’t specifically designed for the purpose you need, but I’m sure Yojimbo would work using the tagging system to tag “priority:high” or “priority:low” on certain actions. Just a thought.

This reminds me (again) of my endless search for a usable “To Do” application.

I’ve tried about 10-12 tools for the Mac, but haven’t found something that enables me to enter a task, assign it to a category or project, and give it a priority – and then view a list of all tasks sorted by priority or category. A simple app, but I haven’t found anything that can fulfill these needs. Backpack is great, but has no priority or sorting features, which are vital.

It would be great to see an overview of all the apps out there in this area!

Well you can use Spotlight for text files searching right?

I enjoy using it. I had to choose between this and VoodooPad, but I didn’t want to pay for VoodooPad so xPad is working out pretty nice so far…

This one’s good, but I prefer Sidenote just because of its simplicity and ability to hide on the edge of your screen until summoned.

This is one of my favorite apps for the Mac. So glad it became freeware.

Man, I bet MacZot (and Garrett) wishes you had written about this app a few months ago….

I use it as a great replacement for Stickies, but for more extensive notes (and research), I use the suite of Software from DEVON. Say, why not feature a “notepad showdown” between DEVONnotes (or DEVONthink), Notae, KIT, Mori, xPad, and whatever others are out there?

Oh, and while Garret won’t develop it further, he ha said that he’ll release the soure code – soon this needs to re-filed with other first-rate open-source apps like Democracy and Vienna.

@erichd

I actually am planning a “showdown” for all the various note apps I can find out there, or at least as many as I can stand to install. There are TONS of these things… Anyway, look for that roundup here sometime in the near future, editors willing.

I was one of those who actually payed for xpad and I did enjoyed it for a time.
When the developer decided to give the app for free I was a bit annoyed – but what can you do?

Anyways, I moved to Notae – it costly but with tags, search and great and easy UI it became my favorite note taking app.
