Light-weight, flexible, skinnable manager of virtual notes on your desktop
PNotes (Portable Notes or Pinned Notes) is written entirely in C and Windows API - so it is light-weight and fast. It has flexible settings - both for the program in whole and for individual note.
Managing your day-to-day life is not an easy job to do. There are so many things to concern for - housekeeping, shopping, children... And what about cousin's birthday you always forget? Or important phone numbers? Undoubtedly your working place is covered with dusty yellow (or blue, or pink) sticky notes. If so - PNotes is right for you.
Throw the physical stickies away and replace them with virtual ones on your desktop. Skins, fonts, colors, alarms, transparency level - all-in-one. Any portion of note's text can be formatted separately. There is a variety of skins for PNotes and, moreover, you can create your own one if download PNSkinCreator - a small utility for creation PNotes skins.
Notes can also be skinless, that allows stretching them to any reasonable size. You may set the password, which will prevent unauthorized access to program. In this case you can also store the notes as encrypted files, so even if you lose your USB stick nobody could read them. Scheduling is also important feature of PNotes.
It is possible to schedule each note to remind you about significant events by three different ways - alarm you once, every day at specified time or pester you every specified interval. One more PNotes feature - ability to join notes into groups by your choice. You can create, modify, delete and relocate groups by simple click or drag-and-drop. Changing group for each note performed by dragging it onto appropriate group. PNotes is fully Unicode supported and translated into many languages.
And, obviously, it is portable - it leaves no traces in Windows registry and can be started from any drive (fixed or flash) on any computer. Take your notes with you to any location.

· Ease of use - no installation, just unpack the downloaded archive to any location and run PNotes.exe.
