    First, one can color-code notes. Second, it now sync's to Microsoft OneNote. Third, you can keep/view on your desktop by adding to the 'Task' bar. Forth, I don't have to open any software; It is right on the screen, under apps in Windows 10.

    I was tired of always having to start a new instance of notepad to take a note of something during my busy work day. All the other note applications seem very bulky and didn't really work with the fast pace that I work at.
