So basically, when you get back to your PC, you will see the new notes (created from the phone) right on your Windows desktop. This option will help in reminding you of your stuff.

You can also insert and sync pictures in mobile apps and see them on your desktop.

If you haven’t synced your sticky notes yet from Notezilla 8, create a Notezilla.Net account today by right-clicking on the Notezilla icon on your PC. To know how to access them from your phone after sync, click here.

If you are still using older version of Notezilla, download Notezilla 8 today & see your notes on your phone. The new version will automatically migrate your notes. There is an upgrade discount too.

In Windows 8/8.1 use a start menu replacement if it is annoying to run programs from the start screen

Every time I try to use Windows 8/8.1, my heart screeches, “Give me my start menu back!!!”. I then convince myself that I would get used to the new metro-style tile-based programs screen. But this one is tough. Microsoft has brought back the start button in Windows 8.1. But most of us were expecting the classic start menu too with the start button, as in Windows 7. Clicking on the start button in Windows 8.1 instead shows the tile-based start screen. What’s worse is that it covers the whole screen. Only to launch a program?

We never realized that this was an opportunity for us until last week our customer Carl Lum wrote:

Since moving to a Windows 8 machine, I find I rely on RecentX even more, as it no longer has the same application finder as Win 7 (and using the Win 8 Metro interface on a desktop is extremely annoying)

Wow! RecentX would be so much more useful in Windows 8/8.1 OS. It would completely avoid the tile-based start screen and let you find and launch an app faster because it provides the programs list similar to Windows 7. See the picture below:

RecentX is not just an app launcher. It helps you find & launch files, folders & bookmarks too. There are some really cool advantages of RecentX. I strongly recommend that you read more about it on RecentX’s home page. You can even try it for free to see how it saves loads of manual tedious tasks, time & money.

Thanks :)

New update: RecentX 3.0.16 (Launcher for Windows)

Just released a new update of RecentX (Launcher for Windows) – version 3.0.16. It fixes some bugs & improves the over all experience. The fixes adds more convenience by improving the usability of the product.

Here is the list:

By default, website history is now disabled. We found that this feature is used rarely. Only bookmarks will be listed.
By default, tags bar appear below the find text box to make it more visible & easily accessible.
Pressing F7 to view All or Recent items cleared the keywords from the Find text box, so the user had to type the keywords again. This bug is fixed.
Pressing F5 (to refresh) or F10 (to get details for network items) also cleared the keywords from the Find text box, so the user had to type the keywords again. This has been fixed.
When changing display resolution or attaching additional display monitor, the sidebar is lost. This has been fixed.
Renamed file was not added to the list. This has been fixed.
Scrollbars in RecentX did not work on Windows 8. This has been fixed.
RecentX crashed at a particular point due to corrupted data. This has been fixed.

Download the latest update of RecentX from here.

If you aren’t using RecentX yet, watch this interesting demo video to learn how RecentX Launcher app can really help you being comfort in your daily computing.

Demonstrates interesting features of RecentX Launcher for Windows that will help you reduce daily computing stress & make things enjoyable.

Internet Banking: Easily remember bank account numbers & passwords of family members

What is Notezilla?

It works smoothly on both phones & tablets.

Here are some features of Notezilla:

Sticky notes with reminders
Attach sticky notes to websites, documents & folders
Pin sticky notes on top of other apps
Sync sticky notes between Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad
Add pictures inside sticky notes
Organize sticky notes inside memoboards (folders)
Checklist sticky notes
Lock sticky notes (password protect)
Markdown support
Send notes over local network or across the globe
Tag sticky notes
Dark mode support

As you know, Internet banking websites do not let browsers to store the bank account numbers (or customer ids) and passwords on a local machine.

Each time, we need to type the complete customer id and password manually. It becomes complicated when we have to access multiple bank accounts.

How to solve this?

To easily access any bank information, I attach a sticky note (using Notezilla) on the bank’s website with all the required bank information from multiple accounts. Whenever I access the bank’s website, the sticky note pops up. This is very, very convenient. I copy the required info from the sticky note and paste it into the sign-in form.

Security concerns? The information inside a sticky note is stored locally on your system. It does not travel through the Internet even when you stick the note to the website. So you don’t have to worry about it at all.

Password Hints: Moreover, bank sites require you to change the password every few days. It is tough to remember the last password you had set. So I add password hints also into the sticky note for each account. Make sure your password hints are not very obvious :)

You may obscure the information in the sticky note to your satisfaction. Additionally, you can even lock the sticky note using Notezilla so that the data is encrypted on the local machine too.

Creating sticky notes on Windows desktop using Notezilla – Video with transcription

If you are new to Notezilla, this video will guide you to create your first desktop sticky note and learn some basic features.

What is Notezilla?

It works smoothly on both phones & tablets.

Here are some features of Notezilla:

Sticky notes with reminders
Attach sticky notes to websites, documents & folders
Pin sticky notes on top of other apps
Sync sticky notes between Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad
Add pictures inside sticky notes
Organize sticky notes inside memoboards (folders)

Check out Notezilla’s homepage.

Transcription:

To create a sticky note in Notezilla, right-click on Notezilla icon in the taskbar and choose ‘New Note’ from the menu. A new note is placed on Windows deskop.
Good thing about sticky notes is that they are quick to create and access compared other kinds of notes software.
Type something inside the note. Website links (hyperlinks) can also be added to sticky notes.
You will notice that the sticky note resizes automatically according to the size of the content inside it.
A sticky note in Notezilla can have a separate title. By default, the title is the same as the first line of the sticky note. However, you can press F2 or right-click and choose ‘Add Title’ to add your own title.
When you select a sticky note you will also see the Note Toolbar sliding up with multiple options: Stay On Top, Hide Note, Roll Up/Down Note and Trash Note
Stay On Top is very, very useful when collecting notes or referring to existing notes while working with another app. It keeps the sticky note always on top of other programs.
Hide Note hides the sticky note from the desktop which you can bring it up again from the Notes Browser or by using the ‘Show All Notes’ option from Notezilla menu.
Roll Up/Down Note saves desktop space and makes it cleaner by showing only the title of the note and not the entire content. Also lets you hide some sensitive information from onlookers passing by.
Trash Note sends the note to Trash memoboard, basically recycle bin for sticky notes.

New release – Copywhiz 4.0.6

Hi!

Today we released Copywhiz 4.0.6. If you are already a registered user of Copywhiz 4 then you can download & install the update for free.

What is Copywhiz?

Enhance your file-copy experience with Copywhiz as it lets you to have more flexibility & more control over the file copying and backup process. Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

Copy only new or modified files
Easily pick files by name, extension, folder etc from bunch of folders
Automatically organize files based on file attributes and metadata

Here is what we have done:

Improved ‘Paste only new or modified files’
The new update can now auto-detect new & modified files. When you choose the option ‘Paste only new or modified files,’ you don’t have to specify the modified/created dates (as in the previous versions). Copywhiz will determine these automatically and copy just the changed files. Backing up files becomes very easy with this new feature. The process of selecting dates was pretty tedious. Though, the option to copy files based on a specific date also exists.

Paste only new or modified files (Automatically detected)

Date variables in destination folder
You can use date variables such as %year%, %month%, %day%, %hour% & %minute% as part of destination folder address to dynamically create new destination folder each time. Good for taking backups.

Destination folder auto-filled
When using the ‘Paste Advanced’ option, the destination folder is auto-filled. You don’t have to select the destination folder separately.

Multiple destination folders list grows automatically
When using ‘Paste to multiple folders‘ option, the destination folder is automatically added to existing list of destination folders. You don’t have to separately add each destination folder.

Run Copywhiz from Copywhiz menu in Windows Explorer
It is now possible to launch Copywhiz directly from the Copywhiz menu using the ‘Run Copywhiz’ menu. Use this to open & run a project faster.

Windows Libraries fix
Copywhiz did not work inside folders under Libraries (Windows Libraries). Now it works.

Thanks :)

Sending a sticky note from Notezilla to Evernote

Often, we find that a single tool does not meet all our needs. One software tool may seem to be a competitor to another. But we may need both of them at different times to serve different purposes.

What is Notezilla?

It works smoothly on both phones & tablets.

Here are some features of Notezilla:

Sticky notes with reminders
Attach sticky notes to websites, documents & folders
Pin sticky notes on top of other apps
Sync sticky notes between Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad
Add pictures inside sticky notes
Organize sticky notes inside memoboards (folders)
Checklist sticky notes
Lock sticky notes (password protect)
Markdown support
Send notes over local network or across the globe
Tag sticky notes
Dark mode support

Notezilla & Evernote fall in such category. For taking quick notes on 3M Post-It(r) like sticky notes, setting reminders, letting them stay on Windows desktop for quick reference, attaching sticky notes to websites, documents, folders, emails etc Notezilla is a better choice. For creating notes with heavier content (media etc), Evernote may be a preferred. Both tools may be compared at different levels. However, this is not the point of this post.

This article mainly focuses on how to send a sticky note to Evernote from within Notezilla.

It is simple. Notezilla allows you send a note to another contact using his/her email address. Evernote gives every user a unique email address. You have to add a contact in Notezilla having Evernote’s email address and send notes to this contact.

Thanks to Kevin, who shared this use case with us:

I really like Notezilla 8 and Notezilla.net! I use Evernote and collect massive amounts of information for my work, I use Zendone for my taks and project management. Zendone has the best evernote integration I have found and for me works really well. The one thing I have always had one challenge and that’s getting a quick piece on information, not or task into Evernote. The Notezilla 8 email feature was my answer, I just setup a contact for (“notebook”, Evernote, “evernote email address”) and it worked perfectly. This will allow me to uninstall at least 2 other programs of a much lesser functionality. Really great work. It would be nice though to select how what or how much of the graphics will be sent with the note. Since, I’m actually sending it to one of my own programs, I don’t need the fancy graphics. Notezilla 8 and Notezilla.net will be one of the best purchases I have made in a while. Thanks again,

I hope you now know how to make it work.

Thanks :)

Sending sticky notes to another computer across local network (LAN)

We are pleased to inform you that we just released Notezilla version 8.0.18 that allows you to send sticky notes instantly to another computer over local network (LAN). You would use either a computer name or IP address to send a sticky note to another Notezilla user.

What is Notezilla?

It works smoothly on both phones & tablets.

Here are some features of Notezilla:

Sticky notes with reminders
Attach sticky notes to websites, documents & folders
Pin sticky notes on top of other apps
Sync sticky notes between Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad
Add pictures inside sticky notes
Organize sticky notes inside memoboards (folders)
Checklist sticky notes
Lock sticky notes (password protect)
Markdown support
Send notes over local network or across the globe
Tag sticky notes
Dark mode support

Here is a short video showing how to setup & use this feature in Notezilla.

For more tutorial videos, check out this page

Why use LAN?

The advantage of sending notes directly over LAN is that the other computer receives the sticky note instantly. It is faster than even email communication. Also, this method works better for companies that are more concerned about privacy & security. Sticky notes sent over the local network do not use the Internet. All communication happens within the private network itself.

Since this feature is not dependent on the Notezilla.Net cloud service, you don’t have to subscribe to the Notezilla. Net service if you are not using any of its features (Sync, Phone access, Sending note as email, or Sending a note to contact over the Internet).

Send sticky notes over network (LAN) — **Sending sticky notes to another computer over network (LAN)**

Earlier builds of version 8 also allowed to send sticky notes to another Notezilla user. But it depended on the Notezilla.Net cloud service.

You would use this feature 1) To send sticky notes to another contact who is not in the same network, 2) To send sticky notes to another contact who may be offline 3) To send sticky notes as email.

Allow Notezilla through Windows Firewall

Make sure first to configure your PC firewall to allow the running of Notezilla. The firewall on the PC might sometimes not allow to send or receive notes.

You can search for a firewall in the Windows search box, and you will see “Allow an app through Windows Firewall.” Choose this option and enable Notezilla. If Notezilla is not listed, then click on ‘Allow another app’ and add Notezilla.

If you are using any other Firewall tool (usually included with Anti-Virus software), then you will have to configure that firewall.

Make sure you do this on both sending and receiving computer.

Another significant advantage of using Notezilla.Net service is that you can access your sticky notes from your phone or tablet (iPhone, Android, iPad, Windows Phone, etc.) using the Notezilla.Net web app.
