Slashdot Mirror

I researched this the last time Evernote bumped their prices by 40%+

Pim Software

1. EssentialPIM – Personal Information Manager for Windows, iOS and Android
2. Efficcess - Free Personal Information Manager (PIM) Software

Notes Organizer - Google Search

1. Notes Organizer - The Official Home of AlfaPad - PIM
2. TreeDBNotes Free PIM, Notes organizer, Document manager software
3. TreeDBNotes Pro: Personal Information Manager, Notes Organizer, Contact Manager, Password manager, Task manager
4. TreeNotes - Notes Manager, Notes Organizer for Windows - Notes in tree - Free trial
5. WhizFolders, Notes Organizer and Outliner for Windows
6. Treepad: Personal Information Manager, Notes Organizer, Word Processor, PIM, Database and more!

They all have better pricing than Evernote. Efficcess has a Lifetime license for 99.95, as well as Business|Enterprise options.

Most of the purely free options that I skimmed through don't support rich-text or embedding images.

I like to use EssentialPIM on the desktop. The non free version includes PocketPC connectivity. There is even a "portable" version for thumb drives.

No, I don't work for the company, I just like their app ;-)

Needless to say, I would love to see the lightning project finished and connecting with PocketPC.

A tidied up version

I suggest you consider encrypting part of the drive, TrueCrypt is a great little app and will run from the USB Thumb Drive as a way to store any info you wish to be secure.

You might also want to consider EssentialPIM or Getting Things Done tools like GTDTiddlyWiki or Next Action (requires firefox)

Check out portablefreeware for more apps and Slashdot

Microsoft usb flash manager is a way to backup you flash drive and keep the info safe, you might also want to consider a second flash drive

(PS: Getting Things Done is a simple and effective personal productivity method by David Allen. You can get the book from Amazon.

I use a little guy called EssentialPIM. http://www.essentialpim.com/ Its a free product, is very small, but only works on windows and isnt open source. Works really well for me.

i've found sunbird too heavy for my needs: Thunderbird is already eatin 50MB of my memory and i dont want Sunbird to do the same so I'm currently using EssentialPIM a small (1MB) and free PIM for Windows and it's quite ok for small todos and appointments. I think that Evolution could be the right solution on Linux, but i've not tried it too much...
