SynNotes

Simple syntax highlighted Notes manager with incremental full-text search and GMaill like tags as folders.
Most of the time app basically hides in the system tray. Then you push global hotkey, and it appears with last Note opened and Search field already focused. After you found data needed hide the app back by pressing ESC.

When you have some notes created - you probably would like to sync them to other your workstations/mobile devices. Also, versioning and cloud backups would be nice. All that provided if you enable sync with your Simplenote account

Used

• C# (XP users should have .Net4.0 installed)
• Scintilla.NET
• System.Data.SQLite
• ObjectListView
• Simplenote

Download

You can download compiled binaries in Releases section
Changelog is available in Commits section

Installation

Just unpack and use. App does not use registry and tries to keep db and ini-file config alongside with .exe file. If app dir is not writable (you unpacked it to %ProgramFiles%) then %AppData%\SynNotes directory used instead.

Configuration

That is very simple app and it will be so. No bells'n'whistles for reduced memory footprint (c# lol;).

Sync

Simplenote sync is configured when you first press Sync button:

Or at any time by Right-Clicking of that button. No any data exchange is performed when Sync Frequency set to Manual until you press the Sync button.

Settings

Some configuration could be done by editing settings.ini.

This part is for Global Hotkeys . Default is Win+tilde for Search, and no Hotkey assigned to just show app

[Keys]
HotkeyShow=
HotkeySearch=Win+`

App support themes of Notepad++ format which are stored in /themes folder. So, you can edit them or create new with visual editor of NP++. Then enable it like this:

[Scintilla]
Theme=Visual Studio Dark.xml

Lexers

• When Note has no explicit Lexer (language to highlight syntax) selected it will inherit it from it's tags.
• If Note has multiple tags assigned, privilege has Tag which is higher in tree (you can arrange tags by drag'n'drop) In this case name of Lexer would be prefixed by ^
• If both Note and all it's Tags has no Lexer assigned bash is used by default
