AlephNote

Slow response to bugs.

Best quick notes app after one small change! (see below)

The change I've done: rebinded "DeleteNote" shortcut to the "Alt+Delete" combination with the "Window wide" scope.

I think that's the essence of the "quick notes": quickly create, quickly delete.

An excellent and continuously updated alternative to ResophNote. Among the many options for text note engines, it works well with Simplenote but can also each note file as a .txt on the local drive allowing two-way synchronisation with Dropbox. It is wonderfully customizable and comes with a variety of themes.

This is a free and open source application, its detail and stability is excellent, and consumes very very minimal system resources. It’s by an order of magnitude faster and more responsive than any of the alternatives.

Last but not least, the developer is very responsive and engages with feature requests and bug reports through GitHub.

In its default presentation "AlephNote" is head and shoulders above "ResophNotes" (RM has bugs that were driving me crazy, and have never been fixed)
