A lightweight and user-friendly note taking application
CintaNotes lets you quickly save and tag any useful information that you come across or just need to jot down.
Clip text from anywhere. Just select it and press the hotkey!
The text-clipping “magic” works in any application that can copy text to clipboard. CintaNotes automatically saves the text and its source URL, and you don’t even have to install a plug-in to integrate it with your web browser!
Fast as-you-type searching
Retrieving information is also trivial: just open CintaNotes and start typing! Only notes containing the typed phrase remain in the list. More sophisticated search criteria are supported, like searching by title or by URL the note was taken from.
Powerful tagging system
You can use tags for note organization, and later use tag union, intersection and subtraction filters to quickly find what you need.
Access notes from your mobile device
Using the Simplenote synchronization feature in the PRO version of CintaNotes, you can get full read/write access to your notes on any iOS, Android or Windows Phone device.
Synchronize notes across multiple PCs
Live note synchronization is supported with the help of free online services such as Google Drive, DropBox, or SugarSync.
Run it from your flash drive

Only in PRO version:
- Working with multiple notebooks
- Unlimited number of tabbed sections
- Expandable tag tree
- Exporting notes to HTML
- Pasting notes into other applications
- Accessing notes from mobile devices
What CintaNotes users and reviewers say:
“This is a really cool notes manager that has more features than most. It works by allowing you to clip text from any browser or app that allows copy/paste while providing a source link to the original information. There is a tagging system for organization, multiple PC and device syncing, and it can run from a flash drive. It also has an on board search system with predictive text to find notes quickly.” – Gadget Advisor
“Fantastic program. Can’t say enough good things about it. Great design. Ultra ergonomic. Runs in the background. Simple, effective, rock solid. CintaNotes would be worth ten times the asking price. Not affiliated, BTW. Just like to do what I can to publicize good programs.” – Gary Carson, writer and blogger
“..For me though, the excellent interface and features of CintaNotes work better than any of the other apps. It is snappy, beautiful and the functionality is just right. It also handles the tag based approach for managing notes perfectly well.” – Ashish Bogawat, AppStorm
“CintaNotes offers a nice set of tools to facilitate your note-taking, while at the same time not overloading you with options or a complicated interface. As long as the lack of image saving isn’t an issue for you, this is a great program to try out. ” – Download.com
“Usually I am a real tightwad. I am one of those guys who never make a “donation” despite hints that a donation would be appreciated. But I did it in this case, because CintaNotes helps me enormously in things that I do. If I have a thought about a literary work that I am writing, I can just create a new note by bringing up the program (it sits in the tray). I type my note, give it a tag or two, and minimize the program.” – From a user comment on Download.com
“For the capture of notes for later processing, this software cannot be beaten. I have used it for many years (the free version) and never had problems with it. It just works! Fast, simple capture; searching; a record of webclips is also kept automatically so you can navigate back to the original web page. 10 out of 10.” – From a user comment on SnapFiles.com
“The program is a gem! Adding Simplenote sync and tabs have made it a definite keeper.” – From a user comment on SnapFiles.com

Reviews for CintaNotes PRO
During installation, there is an option (check box) to “Create a desktop icon”. When this box is checked, the installation program does NOT, repeat NOT, create a desktop icon. Of course, there is a work-around by going into “Programs” and doing a “Send To Desktop” to create a shortcut. Why doesn’t the installation option work in the first place? Not very “Pro” to me!

It did create a desktop icon for me. Repeat, it DID create a desktop icon. Cheers
Hello Karl,
Thanks for reporting this. Could you please tell what is your exact Windows version? Thanks!
This is probably one of the best offers on SoS for a long time. Honestly, if you’re into note-taking, knowledge management, keeping tabs on various projects, or browsing the web to collect information, take advantage of this, you won’t regret it.
I’ve been using Cinta Notes for ten months now, mainly to gather information online and file it for subsequent use, and it’s one of the cleverest pieces of software I’ve ever owned.
It makes it exceedingly easy and fast to clip information from any page with a text content — especially a web page. With a single hotkey combination, you create a note, populate it with the selected text, and automatically append to it its title, URL, date of collection, and even automatic tags following your own custom rules.
Editing the note further is a breeze. There’s a remarks field to give context to the note. Rich text can be dragged and dropped into the note, and it will retain any hyperlinks that were in the original text — this is especially useful for people who need to build knowledge databases out of the Internet. Of course, you can create a note as a blank slate, then type or paste your own text into it.
Searching your notes is extremely fast and efficient. It’s based on a powerful combination of tags, tabs and notebooks. The main filing tool is hierarchical tags, which combine the advantages of tags and nested folders. Those are displayed on the left-side panel, instead of the folder tree Windows Explorer, or other note-taking applications, usually put there.
Then there is a wider level of classification, with as many tabs as you want, spread across the top of the screen. And finally, you can group your notes in as many notebooks as you like, and switch instantly from one to another.
Searching into those databases is orders of magnitude more efficient than searching files on your PC, or bookmarks in your browser. Scraping information from the Web to file into Cinta Notes, then using Cinta Notes search tools at some later point, is a much safer bet than relying on Internet search engines, which might or might not retrieve, several months from now, a Web page you once came across.
The program’s design philosophy is based on guessing users’ intentions, doing what they want fast, and not getting in the way. This is in marked contrast with many note-taking apps, which take center stage, and throw everything at you but the kitchen sink.
Cinta Notes correctly assumes that note-taking is a secondary activity — very important in its own right, obviously, but occurring as a corollary to whatever you’re doing at the present time. By showing itself less, it actually does more.
Bear in mind that this is a rich text-centered application. You cannot paste an image into a note. However, you can paste a link to an image on the Web or on your PC, or attach an image file to a note. This is a very acceptable workaround, as long as your work is not centered on graphics.
A certain degree of cloud synchronisation is provided, but there are limits to it. If syncing several devices is central to your needs, there might be better suited products for you.
Regardless of the present offer, Cinta Notes has a free version which is already very powerful in its own right. However, here you get the Pro version, which has some extra functions you wouldn’t want to do without once you’ve grown accustomed to them. Also, at 39 $, the Pro version is rather on the high side of the price scale for similar programs, which makes the SoS deal all the more attractive. Cinta Notes is actively developed and has a small, but resourceful forum.

Thanks for a great review, Clairvaux! Greatly appreciated!
Major cons for me is not having a Dark Mode
While we are using PC, a lot ideas come to our mind but we forget them quickly. Moreover, there are a lot of things that you might need to remember which could be something related to work or something else. The solution to not forget ideas and important stuff is writing them down as soon as they come to your mind.
CintaNotes is a small software application designed specifically to deal with this issue. It lets you quickly save and tag any useful information that you come across or just need to jot down.
Overview
CintaNotes is an amazing tool that works both online and offline, allowing the users to create and manage personal notes, such as to-do lists, ideas and article fragments. The user interface of the application is simple and easy to get used to. The application works two modes, namely portable mode and installed mode. Adding a new note is very simple, and the key shortcuts to most actions provide ease of use to the users. It is also suitable for multitaskers or people who want to access two different notes at a go, as it allows to manage multiple notes at the same time.
Pros
Works in different modes
This tool works in both installed mode and portable mode. Portable mode is perfect for carrying it around in a USB flah drive and using it anywhere.
Key Shortcuts
Key shortcuts further reduce the time between idea or a thought coming to your mind and you taking a note of it. These shortcuts feel like a blessing once you get used to this tool.
Search Feature
Search feature is speedy and comes in handy when you’re seaching through a lot of notes.
Access from Mobile Devices
With synchronization feature you can get full read/write access to your notes on any iOS, Android or Windows Phone device.
Sync across multiple PCs
Live note synchronization is supported with the help of free online services such as Google Drive, DropBox, or SugarSync.
Import and export notes
Either for back up or for sharing purposes.
Cons
No attachment to notes
Including images or any other attachments is not possible.
Limited to Windows PC
MAC OSX support would be great and that would really make the synchronization useful.
Conclusion
CintaNotes is a nice tool that can be quite useful on a daily basis. Especially for those who have to remember a lot of thing at work and home or for people like me who get a lot of ideas but forget them quickly. With this software, you will never lose your precious ideas any more. The intuitive layout makes it easy to use for even novices. It is definitely worth trying out.

Thanks a lot for a favorable review! One small remark though: note attachements _are_ supported in the PRO version, which is exactly what you get with this promo!
Cintanotes is an amazing window based notes tool that will work in both portable and installed mode. Combining this with the fact that it works both online and offline and you get something that will put your note taking game at the very front. It is a perfect replacement to the window’s sticky notes option and the fact that you can synchronize it between devices makes it an utter convenience.
At A Glance
Cintanotes is both light and simple. It won’t be a bother to your system and you will love it. Adding the first not is simple. All you have to do is go to the Edit menu and select New Note. You can alternatively use the respective shortcut (you will find every shortcut next to the respective action in the menu strip)
Since all the notes pop up into a different window, you can manage multiple notes at a go making it a perfect tool for multitaskers or people who want to access two different notes at a go.
Pros
• Available in both installable and portable versions that will work on removable storage media
• Impressive formatting options that give it better notes and fact organization
• Dedicated Hot Key and intuitive shortcut features
• An impressive search feature that will come in handy when handling multiple notes
• Import and export notes for backup or better sharing
Cons
• You cannot include images or make any attachment to your notes
• Your formatting sticks to italics, underline and bold font, no font color changes
• You will have limited synchronization that’s made worse by the fact that it is natively available to Windows only
Verdict
Cintanotes draws its strength from its simplicity and practicality. It might not have all the features you need to create comprehensive notes but it has all it takes to keep your thoughts flowing in the perfect way.

Thanks a lot for the review, Dennis! Again, why do you say that attachments are not supported? You can attach any file to a note by opening it and clicking on the paperclip icon in the upper right corner (or alternatively press F12). This works only in the PRO version though.
