minipad2 integrates many useful functions into one program including notepad, calculator, reminder, dictionary, launcher, address list, text template, and clipboard enhancement. All the contents are automatically saved while minimized or closed, and will re-open to the same state. The program can be freely switched between two styles: multi-page style and treeview style. When no longer used, it can be minimized to the system-tray, or hidden outside the desktop. Additional features include password protection and encryption.

What's new? |
Entry updated to include password protection and encryption. v3.2.0 Build 101128: Changed again the design of the mini-note window. Now use @xxx to input the title. Allows to re-define the accelerators of various menu items. New Options: Remember page scroll; Tree on right; Splitter width; Close note hotkey; Auto-record hotkey; Multi-clipboard: Filter all duplicate items; Add "Apply" button in the Options dialog. Add "Match Case" option in the "Search" dialog. Add two new text tools: Delete all empty lines; Leave one empty line. Add some new counts in the "Statistics" box. Alt+Up, Alt+Down: Used to move the selected item up or down (when the list has focus. Only support single-select), or move the selected node up or down (When the tree or tab-control has focus). Upgraded the language files of v3.1. Fixed some bugs. |
@ChemZ: you should try
Tools \ Options... \ Log In
and check "Login with password".

I feel bad that I put this aside too quickly last year when I was shopping for a notes-taker, minipad2 does SO MUCH more than that. I started using it again recently, and the features I'm using a lot are the "memo" page to run Scheduled Tasks (I love this), the Clipboard monitor, the Auto-Record to paste all copied text fragments directly into the selected Notes page (great for snagging notes from multiple documents or websites without having to switch windows, but it can't copy obfuscated or friendly-text urls as live links), and Launcher pages to open apps and documents. I give it an extra gold star for the too-cool AutoHide feature which slides it out of the edge of the screen, mouse-over pulls it back into view with no need to click the tray icon to activate it. I'm still finding new features and loving it more each day.
Ten gold stars and four thumbs up!
The current "update" on portablefreeware is misleading. There is no update for the current stable version. The currently listed update is for the beta version. The download link however links to the older stable version.
Either show the version and link for current stable version, or show version and link for beta version - but not a mismatch of both.

Nice! Appears to save the names of folders in this version when exporting. Yes, there doesn't seem to be a print option in the menu? Other than the print option issue, I"m really liking this.
