Aah. You snooze you lose !
Looks like I missed out on this one. Been using Cinta Notes for the past 3 years, and haven't seen anything better that works for me.

Alex Jenter, many thanks for your response. I was using Allmynotes but eventually gave up on it. Then I used URL Gather which is essentially a portable bookmark app but it can bookmark files. So I was using it to link to my notes. Unfortunately it crashed twice because something was corrupted and twice the backup file wouldn't run because of that - everything had to be re-input. Needing something dependable I tried Cinta Notes and I found it excellent and it hasn't let me down. Thank you again for the the updated offer.

NIce software

Downloaded perfectly - didn't even have to close down the virus protector (which I would NEVER do) so will be back again.
Thank you CINTA and GAOTD!

Downloaded, installed and registered with no problems, Win 10 64bit. Cinta Notes is going to save me time, thank you both Cinta Notes and GOTD.

Even though I filled out the request, I never rec'd the registration key. Of course, I checked my spam folder, and I even requested the key twice. Please advise, thanks.

I have tried to get a license on win 10. What am I to do?

I uninstalled my old version and rebooted. Every time I try open it, it wants a password, so now I can't even open the program to put in my license which I received by email.

Any suggestions please?

I installed with no problem and it updated the prior version I had installed. I am however having a lot of trouble installing the portable version on my travel thumb drive.
It has to be something simple that I am missing!

Hello I have twice requested the license key be sent to my email but it has not come after some hours. I am using the link in the readme file.
I have also sent a message on this by your contact form on the Cinta website. Would appreciate assistance at the earliest please.

Third time I install this and third time I use it and say "meh..." Sorry to the dev but Cinta Notes is bland!

I wish it had books> sections> pages like Onenote but without the dumb "plaster your notes anywhere" I want the beauty of Onenote and the functionality of the other one with the elephant!

I want to be able to change colors and add or remove icons to everything! I want to make my notes as weird, colorful, emoticon ridden as a teen school girl's or as plain and professional as I want. And what's the idea with the timid theme colors? I click Red Theme and I get "sad pinkish"!

I also want a jumplist, Tomboy has one and is the best features I've seen in note taking software.

Thanks for your attention I hope the dev sees this.

-Evernotes, I think it's called Evernotes-

I went to the web page in the readme and entered all the information asked and still no response with a key. What next?

Dear CintaNotes. Could you please make it possible to use TAB button? I like your product and use it daily. My main problem is being unable to use tab.

Further to my post re not being able to upgrade basic version to pro: I have discovered that the portable version does not upgrade to PRO if you currently have a full PRO version installed on your PC (at least in my case where I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium). However, I registered another download at the read.me URL (in case the serial number was different for each download) and found that using that on another PC on which Cinta Notes was not installed allowed me to upgrade the portable version to PRO (the serial number is identical for both versions).

I have read the EULA and it does not explicitly place a restriction on the number of copies of the software which can be used. So I don't think Cinta are offering a choice of installing either a full or a portable version. Using both seems to be OK given the licence is granted to the user and not to any device.

Perhaps Alex Jenter, the developer, can comment on this to ensure my usage is legitimate.

I am collecting a lot of snippets from documents and books. It is tedious to swipe, copy, paste to notepad, scroll down, repeat for next, etc.

This software installed easily on Win 10, followed directions and license installed easily.

Initial problem: it wouldn't accept a text with F-12 which operates my screen brightness. Any variation of F-12 (alt F-12, ctl+alt+F-12, etc.) did not work.

Fooling around with Options > Hotkey in the software menu, I accidentally noticed that the hotkey changed when hit a different key on my keyboard. So I selected ctl+down arrow and saved it. Bingo! It worked.

Tested with a series of copy actions. The first opened CintaNotes and copied in with ctl+down arrow. All the rest of the copy actions followed. I was initially put off by the fact that each copy was headed with "Giveaway of the Day, Cinta Notes Pro...etc etc.

My notes still needed to be in notepad So on the opened CintaNotes I did ctl+A then ctl+C, then ctl+V in an empty Notepad window. Bingo.. all my notes without the headers appeared in notepad, just as they would have if I used the previous tedious method.

This is a definite time saver and a keep for me.

I have an earlier version from GOTD and I just want to mention here that I am very impressed with the communication I receive regarding updates from the software designer, Alex Jenter. He is constantly working to improve and perfect this software and then keeping me 'in the loop'. That alone speaks volumes to me of this company's credibility and attention to detail. I can only say that about two or three other software programs I use, and I paid big money for those.
Thank you, Alex Jenter.

When it came to registering, yes -- I made the same mistake at first that others did, by not scrolling down a little further to see the registration key, but after I did, it registered right away. Excellent program - I am so happy to have the newer version! Thanks so much, GAOTD and Cintanotes!

Cinta Notes - I have not received an activation code in my email yet. I checked my spam and deleted folders to see if it had been move there but no email has come from your website. This is a prodigy account.

Please see if your servers block this type of account. My email client is Outlook. Please assist me in the activation.

Thanks
Ken

I had the previous version installed and tried installing the new version. It installed but it won't accept the new key I was sent. It tells me my license has expired and I need to downgrade or pay $19.95 to upgrade to pro. Please advise.

FYI, from the help FAQ for Simplenote:

https://simplenote.com/help/

...regarding the above-mentioned sync feature "...synchronize notes with Simplenote for mobile access...":

"Are my notes encrypted in storage?

In terms of security, Simplenote works a lot like other popular online services such as Gmail and Facebook. Your personal information is protected by a strict Privacy Policy. But due to the need for searching your notes from the web, the contents must remain unencrypted while in storage so the software can find your search terms. For this reason we recommend not using Simplenote to store anything particularly sensitive.

Unlike a lot of other services, however, by default your notes in Simplenote are always encrypted when they’re in transit across a network. This is important. It’s when your personal information is most vulnerable. We believe that all modern services should provide this level of protection by default."

A reasonable policy for sharing, say, team collaboration project information, or when working on articles to be published, or just about anything.

Personally, however, I would not sync betweeen devices (via Simplenotes) anything financial, medical, legal, etc.; i.e., anything that you would not want a potential Simplenote website hacker to gain access to and sell on the underground market.

I can't find a key either :(

Update about installing license key,
i read :
I've just started using the Portable version and it says free 10-day trial of CintaNotes Pro activated.
What will happen after 10 days?

Look at the readme file there is a link to activate it

I have read the readme file several times now and klikt on every possible link but no activation what so ever.
When i can't find the answer soon i wil have to uninstall again.
What a waste of time, why not do it as it always is with Giveaway of the day.

Activated it with the key I was emailed. But is says "Free 10 day trial of cinta notes pro activated. Click here to see licensing options. Why is this showing when it has been activated?

I needed a good notes organizing software and thanks for the offer. Everything went installed easy, no problems at all! Thanks again - DN

I have to say, that clipping the registration email and having Cinta recognize the registration info when I opened the help/about page was a neat trick. Clean interface (unlike AllMyNotes Organizer) and I already feel 'familiar' with this tool. I hope the reveal of more neat tricks continues.

Amorina, the answer is yes to both your questions. I installed this offer over the previous version I had and my previous notes were all preserved OK.

Installed the Giveaway of the day version just now , software works.
BUT can someone point me in the direction of the the License key , I can't find it .
And it says that it is a 10 day trial version and i have to put in a licence key.

thanks in advance

I have found this to be an excellent piece of software. Having a previous install of an earlier version Pro 3.8 I thought I would try the portable version with this offer. Am I right in thinking that this portable offer provides only the Basic and not the Pro version? Sadly I found that inputting the serial number does not upgrade it to the Pro version, so I've had to delete it and have now installed the full version to let me have the Pro features.

Nevertheless many thanks to Cinta Software and GOTD for this excellent offering!

No import from Keynote ?? :/

This is an excellent program and i have version 3.7 which i have been using for a while .. if i install this version will it overwrite the 3.7 and will i be able to import my notes from 3.7?

Excellent software. This GOTD reminds me I've used it before but I had to reinstall Windows so I'm glad it's here today.

Very good and easy to sign up and get key. Its a wonder how I haven't heard of this product before. But now I know of it once my licence for updates has expired I will be getting a purchased copy of the product. As said before has very little if at all impact on resources and in my option superb interface. Thank you Cinta Software for allowing this give-away.

I've just started using the Portable version and it says free 10-day trial of CintaNotes Pro activated.
What will happen after 10 days?

According to the website, the Pro version is a one year licence. So will this version cease working after a year or revert to the free limited features if $39 isn't paid? Thanks.

So how is this better than the FREE One Note 2016 and it's Chrome Web Clipper that clips everything from text to videos and syncs them across all my devices, PC, Laptop and Android phone? (And iThing, if I had one)

Using the portable version that included on the zipped on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 playing with it a while no crash or error happened, the program is very light on resource

the Hotkey for taking notes is really convenient, the program is focused on text, Picture not supported but can attach the file on the note, the software can not show any picture thumbnail that attached, so if u have lot of pics attached on your note it will be hard to tell what picture there

Overall the software is great especially if u working a lot with text
