Flashnote is a brilliant tool for creating and managing your notes. It does so conveniently by using a light interface that will quickly store your text content hierarchically. Press the shortcut-key combination and a rough copy is on the screen in a flash of a second. Press ESC and the program hides. It's that simple.

You can backup and synchronize your database as well as fully customize the look of the interface.
