Simple and functional notepad
VoodooPad is probably the ultimate notepad. A first look at the interface might make you think that VoodooPad is more difficult to use than it actually is. Yet the application is incredibly intuitive and is great to jot down any sort of notes and sort them by categories and pages. You can sketch up drawings, which you'll associate with your notes and add links, bookmarks, or even images, video, audio files, and applications.
The best thing about VoodooPad is probably how you can link up elements. You can literally create your own network, into which each element has its own place and logic. This means that you can really organize notes according to your own way of thinking. VoodooPad also includes a search box at the top right and lets you open up elements in a tabbed view. I'd recommend using VoodooPad simply because you can more or less mold notes the way you want and also because it's easy to add anything to it. It feels more powerful than a basic notepad yet it is very intuitive and flexible to work with. VoodooPad lets you jot down and keep any sorts of notes, sketches, and files in one place, which you can then organize into your own sort of mini web.
