CloudPad is a handy, lightweight GTD notepad with tag support

For once, a cloud app I downloaded had absolutely nothing to do with storing files on someone else's remote server. This cloud is all about the tags, baby!

CloudPad is an open source note/task pad application that is elegantly simple to use and incredibly handy. Title a new note, set its priority, fill in all the necessary details, add some tags, and you're done. You can also add tags in bulk via a pop-up window or by inputting a comma-separated list.

Two quick ways to view your notes are provided -- the tag cloud (left) and the priority items view (right). A speedy and flexible search feature is also provided, and will no doubt come in handy once you're saved a few dozen/hundred notes.

If you're willing to overlook the required .Net 2.0 runtimes [Filehippo download], CloudPad can also be considered portable. It is for me, anyway, since all the machines I plan to use it on are running Windows 7 anyway.

You may find fuller-featured apps out there, but CloudPad certainly packs a big punch for such a small package.
