This is another hidden gem. Does it take notes in a structured way? Does it encrypt its contents? Yes, but that is just the beginning... One may keep all its favorites and use MemPad as a launcher of sites (http:something.dom), applications (file:..\ProgramFolder\Program.exe - it even accepts relative paths), folders and much more. All in little more than 100 KBytes! Sheer Magic!

Thanks, Ennovy. Indeed it continues to be free for personal use, as a small blue link on the right of the download page says. It's an understandable mistake and a rookie move not to read everything on the page, but the "60 day free trial" blares loudly. |
SavageEd2 is a very small and fast Notepad replacement. It can edit files of any size, limited only by memory. It can encrypt text files using AES encryption with 256 bit key (max 32 character password) in .enc format. It has Pattern searching features and written in x86 assembly language (HLA).
Note: SavageEd2 is the replacement for former SavageEd.
