modeless, mouseless Mac OS X note-taking application·notational.net
Notational Velocity is a Mac OS X application for storing and retrieving notes, built around a single modeless window that combines searching and note creation. It performs incremental search across all note content as the user types, and supports optional transparent encryption and compression of notes on disk. It syncs natively with Simplenote or via Dropbox with iOS apps such as PlainText, Elements, and iA Writer. The application has no manual save step; all edits take effect immediately.
