Somewhere to scribble
Scribblet received a lot of attention last week when it was mentioned in an article at TUAW. Basically it’s a menu bar item that allows you to pop open a window where you can jot down some notes. These are meant to be temporary notes — nothing that you need to save longterm for later referral.
Given the number of snippet-style programs, it would seem that creating the perfect notetaker has become a sort of Holy Grail among many Mac developers. I like the idea of having a place for my notes in a handy spot like the menu bar, but I would prefer that it be able to categorize them so I can refer to them weeks or months from now — maybe something like MeNotes, which unfortunately suffers from an inelegant interface. Meanwhile, I’ve been going with xPad and, before that, Sidenote.
For what it claims to do, though, Scribblet seems ideal. The best part is that it is so darn handy. You can invoke it with a keyboard command, type in your notes, then dismiss it using another command — with automatic saving if that is your preference. It’s almost stunning in its simplicity, making this freeware well worth a look.
