Organize Your Life with CherryTree
Tutorials – CherryTree
Work smarter and faster using this hierarchical note-taking app that's packed with power user features.
Think of all the bits of information we work with on a daily basis: notes for work, notes for your personal life, shopping lists, phone numbers, web bookmarks, passwords, code snippets, photos, and more. Yet, we all have different ways of juggling this info. You may have a single text file called NOTES.txt
on your desktop with everything crammed inside (in which case, you might at least want to add some structure to it using Markdown, as described in the previous issue).
Or, perhaps you're using a web-based tool to arrange your notes, or you've gone hard-core Emacs Org-mode. Although many applications can be coerced into functioning as note and information managers, wouldn't a tool that's completely dedicated to the purpose be better? One that's built from the ground up to structure your notes, runs on Linux – oh, and is free and open source?
That's exactly what CherryTree is: a "hierarchical note taking application." CherryTree has been around for quite a few years now, yet it is only at version 0.38.1. Don't let that low version number mislead you, however; I've used the software on and off over the years and have always found it to be robust and reliable. (Indeed, as is the case with Inkscape, which is still at version 0.92 despite being used professionally for years, I think a bump to 1.0 would be good marketing. But, developers have their own reasons for waiting.)
