Note: AlfaPad is no longer supported/maintained. Nonetheless, you can still download it from Softpedia and purchase a license from the developer.

With the Internet being a spring of information and the majority of computers having constant access, you sooner or later you end up writing down a few words or important details. Windows comes with several utilities to take notes, but the overall process is done in an organized manner and a little better with applications such as AlfaPad.

In terms of visuals, the application is pretty polished and doesn't pose any accommodation problems. Most of the space is your canvas where you write down your notes or insert external objects and images. The toolbar provides quick access to common functions, while a side panel lets you easily explore and manage contents of your project.

Although the application is packed with various customization options that let you write text in the desired style and enhance it with images, disappointment starts to kick in when you try to import files. There's a wizard-driven process to import/export files, but you can only use external documents found under the TXT format. Export on the other hand, benefits from a few more types, such as HTML, PDF or Microsoft Access.

However, this encourages you to take the application for a long test run and see how well it performs over time. It's not all bad, because you get to work with a decent amount of text editing and formatting tools.

All fonts installed on your computer can be used, size specifications, colors, alignment and extra options are at your fingertips, as well as the possibility to enable a ruler for manual adjustment of paragraphs. Inserting options let you add separators, links to web pages, even images found under popular formats like JPG, BMP, TIF and GIF.

Progress is saved in real time, which is an advantage since you can work on more projects at a time. The side panel lets you create a folder structure to fill with custom documents. These can be customized with colors and tags to specify importance or help you better differentiate tasks from notes or other items.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that AlfaPad is a handy text editing application that lets you take notes and organize your tasks in an easy manner and intuitive interface. Although it could have done with better import options, the set of features put at your disposal is sure to make up for this minor inconvenience.
