What is KeepNote?

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.

• Full-text search
• Integrated screenshot

Initial impression is for my aging eyes, the icons are a little small and seem to have space to make a bit bigger.

I know this is a port, but it would be great to be able to zoom the text without having to change the font size.

A way to hide the left pane might be useful given the limited screen real estate.

This looks like it could be a useful program. I don't tend to use rich formatting myself. I prefer to do all my writing/formatting in a Restructured Text. My holy grail is to find something portable that lets me conveniently organize and view my Restructured Text files (I use the moinmoin wiki on the nokia and also like sphinx on the desktop).
