If you have a habit of writing a lot of stuff and managing notes then this can be a good alternative for the Notepad in Windows.

EasyNote is a great tool to write and manage notes and it also make you feel that you are actually writing on the note. You can also make it visible on any part of your desktop just like a real note tied at that location.

When using other programs, they don’t disturb you. Of course, you can pin a note to stay on top of all other applications and un-pin it when it doesn’t require your special attention any more.

Features:
•    Easy to use
•    Straight forward interface
•    Unlimited number of notes
•    Quick access from toolbar

You can also make use of another free tool called TK8 StickyNotes which is also a great software to make and save notes.
