Growly Notes overview

Growly Notes lets you capture everything you're interested in, all in one place. Organize research projects, trips, to-do lists, or journals. Scrapbook your images, Web links, and video clips. Your imagination is the only limitation.

Pages can contain almost anything: formatted text, images, movies, audio clips, PDF files, tables, lists, Web and file links, and drawings you create in Notes. There are no rules for where things have to go: put an image beside text, or under it. Draw shapes on top of other notes. Put two snippets of text right next to each other. Click anywhere and start typing. It's really that simple.

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

What users say about Growly Notes

By jeffswritingworld on Feb 22 2022 for v.4.1.5

Features: 5.0

Two interfaces - the jazzy one seen in the description above, and a more sedate Apple type listing which you can see in other screenshots. NOTES can now read text from Apples old Stickies app.

Customer support: 5.0

To show the Developers diligence with this software, he has updated it by 7 versions in 2021 and already an upgrade version in February 2022. For a free app? Superb service.

I'm a computer programmer and for at least the last 6 years or more I've been using Growly Notes (which I refer to as Notes) to store hundreds of code snippets so that I don't always have to "reinvent the wheel" when writing code. Notes allows you to have separate "Sections" for each major topic and separate "Pages" for items under the Topic. I also use it to store my wife's and my personal information such as her Social Security number, etcetera, so I put personal info in one section and the code snippets in another. I have at least ten Sections. Notes is very flexible and support is good.

v4.3.9 is out. "• Several of the lists in the format panel (for example paragraph tabs) were squashed. • Selecting a table column and choosing Format→Plain changed text in unselected columns as well. • Changing the width of a table column set numerous undo events instead of just one. • Under very rare conditions table columns could not be resized properly and the table would not resize to fit the note."
