NoteTab for note-taking

I’m assuming Windows. There’s a Notational Velocity clone that sync with Simplenote, Dropbox, or a vanilla local folder. Keeps plain its notes in plain text. Has the sidebar note list. Renders Markdown (for preview in a browser), and like most NV clones has a search bar linked to the notes list—when you type characters in Search the note list narrows down to those containing the search string.

This is a tweaky solution requiring Python and doesn’t have a pretty face.
