A system tool on Mac and Windows
… More EditOrangeNote™ is a free WPF-based text clipping manager for Windows that allows you to store an unlimited number of fully-indexed text clippings in its database and pull them up with a quick full-text search, or assign global hotkeys to clippings and paste them into any program. It also features a history of all clipboard activity so you can paste previously-copied texts and never lose something on the clipboard again.
There is also a pro version that allows you to sync notes remotely across multiple copies of the program, but the free version is fully functional for local use.

Been working hard on OrangeNote again, got some great things planned including a completely renovated infrastructure/platform and a new name for it. Stay tuned!
Great little gadget which has already won a place in my heart, something that only is reserved for apps that go from my hardworking laptop to the desktop. Looking forward to see where the features go from here.
Quite a lot of features, including sync, clipboard history, notes (especially), etc. It's really neat how many of these features are neatly done as they are rather customizable and explorable.
A bigger annoyance is how there are still bugs, but since OrangeNote is still something being worked on that's not too much of a hassle.
The interface is really nice with dimming, colors, auto-resizing of note font-size and finally something that uses the WPF! (Would've loved a more Aero-look.)
Downside: performance. OrangeNote will drag quite some memory and is in many cases slow to open your note menu.
Still, recommendable! Definitely!
Hey rioter, the next update (coming soon) will include a simple toggle to disable hotkeys, since I too have experienced a similar problem while playing games. Once hotkeys are disabled, OrangeNote should never steal control out from under a game and should run quietly in the background until you choose to re-enable hotkeys.
Got a problem here. I'm trying to play Worms Armageddon on my laptop (XP) and if I have orangenote in the background, it seems to force Worms which has gone into 640x480 back out and minimise. Then it will crash.
It's a real bugger!

I'll tell you, I'd love to get back into Mac programming, and definitely plan to (I learned programming on a Mac 512k) but at this point I'm treating it more as a business decision. I wonder sometimes if I would make more money selling Mac software than I would Windows, since there seems to be so much crapware for Windows that you just can't get noticed easily.
The reason I switched to Windows 5 or 6 years ago was so I could develop my software "for the masses", but it's been extremely slow-going and frankly I'm tiring of it. I have big plans for a revolutionary new application framework, and want it to be cross-platform (at least at its core), and the plan was to write it for Windows first, then Mac (and beyond), but if I snap I may just end up writing it for the Mac first.
Heh. Any chance of a mac version of this program :P
Lol I don't blame you, Rioter. Windows drives me crazy sometimes (actually most of the time).
I haven't had a chance to see the latest release, probably because I don't use windows as much as before. I will check it out :)
So somebody IS using synchronization, lol. That's great--I'll be sure to get around to finishing it now. ;) In the meantime I'll send out those free regs to the beta testers (I think I have all your emails--if you don't get a mail from me by the time you read this, send me a shout at beta@littlesoftware.ca and remind me).
Thanks all!
Nice!
Works rather well! All I'm waiting for now is the ability to use sync again. :)
1.0 is released! Unfortunately download sites have such long process queues so you can't really find it anywhere yet, but that's no matter cause it's available right here on Wakoopa!
@korayem: I will look into this further. In the meantime, you can disable dimming in Options->Appearance. That should help a bit.
@chaiguy1337 exactly. the proposed renames will makes things clearer.
As for the dimmed thing, nothing is shown on the screen. I only see whatever I had running but dimmed and not accessible. I am running Vista 64 SP1. Nothing appears.
