Version 2.0 of bare-bones text editor WriteMonkey has just been released. This release comes after a lengthy testing period (some of it covered on Download Squad), and adds several news features: Text comments: When working on a manuscript, sometimes you may want to add comments and thoughts that should not be included as part of the final text. Now you can preface a paragraph with // (two ...

iOS apps are, perhaps, not the first thing you think about when Muji's concerned, but the modernist homeware and clothing brand has launched three iPad apps, two free, one paid for, and a Japanese-language only iPhone apparel catalog app. We'll start with the iPad apps. Muji Calendar Although the iPad comes with a calendar app built-in, Muji thinks it can do better. In their words, ...

[UPDATE:] As it turns out, wrttn.me is a clone of wrttn.in. I have now amended the links in the screenshot to point to the original tool, after verifying the fact. The review below is still valid for the original tool (all the more so, in fact). Thanks to alert commenter nuttendorfer! When I first laid eyes upon Wrttn.me, I couldn't help but notice how spartan it all was. There was nary an ...

Before I start, I'm not quite sure why you'd want to do this: why not just drag out a Google Docs tab and pretend it's Notepad? That's the whole point of Chrome and other minimalist browsers: they want to be an application platform! But, anyway, if you do want to edit Google Docs from your desktop, Nocs is an excellent solution. It's just like a super-powered, cloud-enabled Windows Notepad. As ...

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 ...

When you ask about a free alternative to Windows Notepad, chances are good that Notepad ++ will be recommended to you. Another alternative which doesn't get mentioned as often is Notepad GNU. It occupies the space in between Notepad and Notepad ++. Notepad GNU does offer loads of features, though not quite as many as Notepad ++. Which is fine, because plenty of people just want Notepad with a ...

There are a lot of ways to take quick notes and share them online. Some, like Google Docs, have large feature sets and require accounts. J.ot Down is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It lets you type, share and save, and that's about it. Going to the site opens up a new note. From there, you just type. There's no formatting with fonts, colors or styles, and no HTML support - just typing. ...

Judging by the large number of substitutes for Windows Notepad, people must have had issues with Microsoft's text utility since day one. This comes to no surprise as Notepad was built with a number of limitations like maximum file sizes, and minimal ability to format text. Akelpad, like many of the other Notepad substitutes out there, seeks to improve on Notepad while staying true to its sense of ...

Notepad2 is a simple and quick text editor with the added benefit of offering syntax highlighting for many popular languages. It uses the Scintilla source code editing component, making it quite powerful for its size. It's hard to find much more to say about it; if you're looking for something that affords the simple user interface of Notepad and is nice and quick, Notepad2 appears to be a worthy ...

Although I'm always a fan of simple utilities, this one may be a touch too simple. Send to Notepad is a tiny little application that sits in your system tray, using the typical Notepad icon from Windows. When you want to copy text to an instance of the Notepad, you simply copy the text you want to copy, then double-click on the Send to Notepad icon in the system tray. Poof, it opens a copy of ...

Everybody likes quick and dirty apps, especially me. Anything quick and dirty that is also free is my holy grail. Microsoft is offering the XML Notepad 2006 for download, which is quick, dirty, and free. It is exactly what it sounds like. It is a simple XML editor for editing XML documents. Sometimes less is more, and this app proves it. XML Notepad does a nice job of helping you organize XML ...

I first fell in love with the concept of wikis a few years ago, after reading an article at Sitepoint entitled "What is a Wiki?". Since then, I've used a number of personal wiki notepads (useful for organizing your notes and thoughts) as well as public online wikis. The somewhat self-organizing abilities of the wiki are still very alluring to me, but I've yet to be able to find one to settle on. ...

Here's an odd little feature I never knew was in Notepad, Microsoft's otherwise featureless text editor: It can be used to make log files. Give it a shot: Open Notepad and type .LOG on the first line, then save the file as whatever you want. Now every time you open the file the current date and time will be appended to it, which make it super-quick to create simple texty log files for whatever you ...
