NOTATIONAL VELOCITY is an application that stores and retrieves notes. It is an attempt to loosen the mental blockages to recording information and to scrape away the tartar of convention that handicaps its retrieval. The solution is by nature nonconformist.
Join the ecosystem. Simplenote replaces the Notes app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When you download SImplenote, you get free access to our web app and a variety of desktop apps, so you can access your notes from anywhere. Simplenote just works, and it works fast. You don't need to think about what notes to sync, or when. All you need to do is write, and let Simplenote take care of the rest.
With KeepNote, you can store your class notes, TODO lists, research notes, journal entries, paper outlines, etc in a simple notebook hierarchy with rich-text formatting, images, and more. Using full-text search, you can retrieve any note for later reference.
