Convert Text/Markdown/R PDF/epub/doc/etc.knt) + Virtual node to external RTF and Text Con: Images - some formats work, so convert it with mspaint.

Con: Spell check - don't really need spell check for pure note taking.At the end of the day I simply wanted an AIO tool that was small and easy to use, but I was chasing a purple dragon that doesn't exist (yet?). I just don't like how I can't use it to write novels or anything other than note taking. I always look for reasons not to like it, but it's reliable for note taking.Should KeyNote become unusable one day, it's good to know that I could at least import my files to RightNote, but for now I haven't found the experience with RN to be satisfactory enough to justify the switch. Most of my gripes are about the interface and user experience, but those are important aspects too and I wasn't able to overlook them. I have never had this kind of problem with KeyNote.įunctionality-wise, RN has everything KN has (as far as I can tell) and more. I use keyboard shortcuts to navigate between nodes (alt + up/down arrow), and it was really obvious if I tried to run through a lot of nodes in order to reach the one I wanted: on several occasions, RightNote actually freezed and I had to kill and restart it. Even switching between nodes in a tree felt a bit sluggish compared to KN.

Switching between tabs in the same file took noticeably longer than in KeyNote and I could see the whole interface being redrawn. I'm guessing it's because it uses some kind of skin engine for its whole interface (you can change the look of the interface), a feature that I'm really not a fan of (I much prefer when such a program integrates as seamlessly as possible with the OS). My experience with RightNote is that it felt less snappy and responsive than KeyNote NF. I was really hoping that I could make the switch, but in the end I went back to KeyNote. I imported all my KN files and completely stopped using KN during that time. I've used RightNote for three weeks about a year ago.
