I’ve never heard of SimpleNotes. Could I use this to synch my CintaNotes notes across two computers?
I have two laptops in two different locations and I’m tired of having to export my CintaNotes stuff on one machine, copy the file to a USB drive (or email it to myself) and then import it into Cintanotes on the other machine.

I’m testing CintaNotes v.2 right now. It’s absolutely fantastic. At first I was worried that the developers were going feature crazy, but the new tabbed folders are great. Very useful.
The designers really seem to know what they’re doing when it comes to ergonomics. I just opened the main Cintanotes window, created two new tabbed folders, named each one, moved a bunch of notes from the main clipping folder to a second folder, tagged all of them and closed the window again, and never had to take my hands off the keyboard. The whole process only took a few minutes.

Hi Gary - yes, absolutely, that’s why I’m so pleased with this latest version of CintaNotes. Simplenote (sorry, misspelled it before) is a popular text-synchronisation service based on tagged notes. Like Catch and other services (ToodleDo, Todoist), they’ve deliberately opened up their API so other apps can use it. You can get a free Simplenote account, but I’ve opted for the Pro (or Premium, I forget which) because it’s more flexible (and I’m happy to pay for something that is genuinely useful). Now I can enter stuff in CintaNotes and read it on my iPad! Simplenote is also compatible with e.g. ResophNotes and a few other desktop apps (actually a quick search of this forum will unearth quite a few mentions).

Cheers,
Bill

Mind you, if it’s two laptops you’ve got (presumably running Windows) you could also simply use Dropbox (which is what I was doing before the Simplenote compatibility came up). You have to be a bit careful you don’t use the same file on both laptops at the same time, but it’s perfectly workable.

Cintanotes deal is still good for today 12/21.
I’ve installed the trial and have been experimenting, might lay out the $12.50.
