"It is by far the most valuable software I have purchased in the last two years, and I recommend it to all of my colleagues and students. It has become the center of my work. It is elegantly straightforward and powerfully flexible. It does what it intends to do without extraneous functions. I have explored other note-taking and PIM software, and I can find none better." "What I appreciate is your focus on notes. I'm so tired of programs that start out well-composed but then think that they must add more and more features to become 'multi-purpose' and end up clogging themselves with lots of junk that most users don't need or want. Notes are at the core of what most of us do, and a program that optimizes note-taking and management will always be of great value." Read more comments from our customers...

An amazing outliner that lets you drag and drop the titles till you get it just right. See how productive this List-based Outlining can be as compared to the Editor based outlining that involves too much scrolling. You only play with the titles. Peek at the details only when you really need to look at them. Besides, this software also lets you make interconnected notes that help you think and work smarter. Developing an outline is real fun with WhizFolders.

WhizFolders is not a word processor

Make no mistake about it. WhizFolders is not a word processor. Word processors are only for presenting your text, not for creating, collecting or researching it. WhizFolders is specially designed software to address all the problems you face when you sit down to write up new ideas for a first draft or to write your notes to learn new subjects or to make plans for a new venture.

Does it look familiar or similar to some other software you have used?

Look closely. Read the list of features in detail. You will discover a treasure trove of features specifically designed for one purpose--to let you manage your notes and ideas better.

The idea that works in WhizFolders: The key to managing your notes well is to be able to briefly list them, in a hierarchy. You look at the content of a note only when you really need it. You won't find this powerful list metaphor in a word processor. Imagine loading a word processor document with 500 notes, just to add a brilliant idea that crossed your mind. The big document will take such a long time to load that you will forget what you wanted to add in the first place, leave alone the effort to find the proper place for the new note. This is very frustrating indeed! WhizFolders' powerful and fast-loading list of notes is the answer for all such problems.

And this is no ordinary list!

The "List of Notes" in WhizFolders uses a sophisticated Listing Technology made by a brilliant developer from Germany. We have worked for years to perfect the integration of this list with the document editor and hyperlinking features in WhizFolders. For example, in WhizFolders, you can select many notes and join them to make a big document for your word processor to do more sophisticated formatting. The list is heavy-duty too and can handle thousands of notes. A published author recently made a 1000-page reference book by printing to a pdf driver from WhizFolders.

How do you write your notes more effectively so that they are easier to review later?

Here are some tips. WhizFolders is based on these principles and helps you write notes that are easier to review, brainstorm and comprehend later.

Do not write your notes in a single long word processor document. A long document is difficult to review and understand. Write your notes in pieces, and insert them in a list of notes. Give a good descriptive name to each note or piece for easy indentification. A list of note names is easier to review and comprehend. Such a list of notes is the foremost and a better view of the ideas in your whole document. You are able to see all the notes at a glance. The text of the note is of secondary importance. You see it only if necessary.
Move around the note pieces in the list and arrange them in a sequence according to your own understanding. This sequence is often different from the sequence that the original author made up. If you are writing from your own thoughts, the ideas often come to you in random order and you sequence them later when reviewing. Categorize the list of notes further by making a hierarchy of notes. Make some notes, children of a particular summary note. Introduce new parent notes as necessary to help the categorization.
Make important note names stand out by highlighting them with a different color. These colors add another dimension to the categorization. For example, some notes are related to each other even if they are in different categories in the list. Highlight them with the same color.
Often when looking up a note, it reminds you of another note that you added in some other place in the list. Just drop a link to that other note in the text of the current note. This helps immensely in reviewing because you click on the links and see all the notes relevant to that idea. This adds yet another dimension to the categorization of your notes as described above. WhizFolders supports each and every idea presented above with a simple, intuitive interface. It supports Rich Text too so that you can enter any international character in any font. Some users are even using Hebrew characters to make Bible notes.
When you are done writing a set of note pieces, you can combine multiple pieces to make a document to give to someone. Just select the desired notes, copy them to the clipboard and paste them in a word processor as a single document. Or you can even print those pieces together as a book directly with WhizFolders.
