Whether you’re journaling your travels, documenting personal experiences, storing interesting trivia or simply keeping track of important notes, Anecnote provides the flexibility and features you need. Its real superpower is being able to 'surface' your notes when you need them via the use of our powerful filtering system (called Smart views). It is the ultimate aide-memoire!
FLEXIBLE NOTE MANAGEMENT
Create notes for any and every purpose — memories, reviews, travelogues, journal entries, facts and more. Customise each note with relevant metadata to suit your needs:
• Categories: Classify your notes by type (e.g., review, memory, anecdote, fact, trivia, journal).
• Area: Contextualise your notes by assigning it an area (e.g. home, work, family, personal).
• People: Tag individuals related to your notes for easy reference.
• Source: If the content of the note is from a particular person (or website) then you can add that info in too
• Tags: Add unlimited tags to describe your notes' content and subject matter.
• Starred: Mark any note with a star to quickly add to a favourites list
• Action required: Mark any note as needing some kind of action and it will show up in a Todo list of notes
You can use as many or as few of these as you want/need to describe your notes. And if these default labels don't suit you can even change them to words that better relate to your use cases / language.
SMART VIEWS
Effortlessly filter your notes using built-in smart views (All Notes, Starred Items, Todos) or create Custom views tailored exactly to your needs. All of your added metadata is available for filtering purposes so you can create advanced filters to show just what you need. For example, view all Reviews for Movies with a 5-star rating or list all memories that involve your daughter etc. The options are endless!
