Keynote |
The basic idea in KeyNote is that you can
include many separate notes within a single file. With the
addition of the tree-type notes, you now have a
three-dimensional notebook: many notes within one file and a
multi-level, nested pages within a single note. Optionally, KeyNote can encrypt your data securely
using the Blowfish or Idea
algorithms. Keynote's interface and behavior are extremely configurable. Although the download comes in a setup program, the program files can be copied to an USB and used on any Windows PC. |
