Extranote

Extranote is a handy little tool for anyone who loves to do research online and needs a quick spot to jot down notes. You know how annoying it can be to open a new text document every time you want to save something? Well, with Extranote, you can have all your notes right on your desktop!

Getting Started with Extranote

Before diving in, make sure you have the .NET Framework installed on your computer. If it's not there, Extranote won’t work. The setup process is super quick, so you'll be ready to explore its features in no time! When you launch it, you'll see a sample note pop up right on your desktop.

A Unique Design

One thing that stands out about Extranote is its cool design. It looks like a small glass pane that’s totally transparent. You can place it anywhere on your screen, and it fits in perfectly with any background. Just keep in mind that the note can't be resized, and if you add too much text, it might get hard to read because there’s no scroll bar.

Edit Mode for Your Notes

To avoid any accidental changes, Extranote doesn’t let you edit text immediately. You'll need to hit a button to enter edit mode first. Once you're in that mode, a new panel pops up where you can type or paste things from your clipboard. However, don’t expect import or export features; those aren’t included yet.

Simplicity of Notes

The notes themselves are pretty basic—there’s no way to minimize them or change colors and font styles. Plus, there's no option for keeping the window on top of everything else. If you want more notes, just run the program again! You can even set up a hotkey for quick access.

The Bottom Line

Overall, Extranote is a stylish way to keep notes handy right on your desktop! But while it looks great, practicality could use some work—only a little bit of text shows at once and customization options are pretty limited. It might get annoying having to reopen the program every time you need another note.
