recordando (Spanish for remembering) is a program in which to keep your written thoughts
This space has these characteristics:
It presents a simple organization on screen (like post-it notes)
It's safe and secure; it runs on your own computer and not on the Internet
It's completely personal; it's not for sharing anything with others
It's restful and without clutter
It's free, and open source too
It runs on any desktop or laptop computer (but not on smartphones or tablets)
If you're very meticulous, you can create highly organized groups of notes.
If not, you can create a disorganized jumble of notes, and use search to find things.
Or, maybe some mixture of those two.
It's a way to bring your scattered thoughts into focus.
In any case, it's a cozy home for your written thoughts.
Why was this program created?
Because the author needed a place to keep his written thoughts, and he couldn't find anything suitable.
Word processing documents were not a good fit; he wanted to scan an visual array of small notes instead of continuous text.
Programs with complex features weren't acceptable; it had to be simple and uncluttered.
An internet service wasn't a good fit; the security of a local program was needed.
Comments and Reviews
Esta bien. I like its simplicity, and that my notes are not in the cloud. The daily journal is best feature for me. Method for moving cards is a little awkward. Author responds to emails, which is good since it's a very young program.
This is such a humble, unassuming program, that, after downloading and trying it once, I didn't think much of it.
But, I gradually realized that it was a good fit for me, in terms of simplicity and visual presentation (I don't like the usual list-type presentation).
Evernote just doesn't work for me for some reason, and anyway, I want to keep my notes to myself, on my own computer.
The note_space online documentation is OK, but it should highlight some use cases, so people can see the program's possibilities.
The way the program starts up is a little unusual, but I got used to that after awhile.
