Sorry if you found it difficult to download. The web site was updated to make it much easier.
It is however quite common to require some user information to download trial version of software, so SQLNotes is no different. In fact, many software require e-mail confirmation, which is not required for SQLNotes.
I’d encourage you to download a copy and start using it. Being in development, it allows you to influence how it will evolve in future releases. The feature set is already quite impressive, but there is more to come…

Hey PIMfan, thanks for the pointer! If NeoMem supported graphics, It probably would replace my usage of KeyNote… oh so close. :-(

SQL-Notes is one of the few packages I have downloaded and not immediately uninstalled. Though the developer compares the product a great deal with Zoot (its item window is reminiscent of Zoot), it seems to me to compete squarely with UltraRecall (based on a database, with user-defined properties, built-in html browser and so on). I haven’t tested it a great deal, but I am keeping an eye on the betas to see how it develops.

You are quite right Graham, that SQLNotes (code name) competes more with UltraRecall than with Zoot. But above all, it is inspired by Ecco since at its basis, it is a one-pane rich text outliner with columns, user-defined fields, etc. The 2nd pane (à la UltraRecall) kind of comes as a bonus, but is not the central feature.
New version has just been released (0.9.20) and includes many new features and improvements, namely:
- Item formatting using a Formatting toolbar
- DateFilter toolbar added. Can be used with all grids, but in particular with Appointments and Todos!
- Image viewer added. Rotates to fit picture size. Can have multiple viewers opened. Will then show pictures in sequence. Can lock a picture in a viewer. SQLNotes is a good tool to organize your digital pictures.
Plus many many more, making it more Ecco-like. Free download.
