May 7, 2008 20:11 GMT  ·  By

Mac Notepad is a Mac OS X application that helps users organize texts, but protect their notes with a password too. The notepad program also allows users to paste and copy any piece of text they want to have at hand. You can try it out for free by clicking HERE.

Apimac says Mac Notepad is designed from the ground up to support the latest Apple technologies. The utility ensures a better productivity of your work with your Mac by allowing you to save and organize any piece of text, whether you decide to paste it in, drag it from other applications, or drop it as a text file from the Finder. Yes, you can write the text yourself, just in case you had any doubts.

The Password check button enables you to protect your personal notes with (what else?) a password. If this option is selected, at the opening of Mac Notepad a password dialog box will be displayed. To gain access to the notes it will be necessary to enter the correct password.

But, as I'm sure most of you just want to hear what's new in version '08, here are some highlights, according to Apimac: user interface improvements; new Back and Forward button to navigate notes previously visited; new History window to navigate notes previously visited; new live search for the notes; fix for the disappearing cursor when typing and for the crash on forward-delete key combination.

"Various code optimizations" are also part of the '08 version of Mac Notepad, while Apimac assures it has "fixed all reported bugs." The developers have also optimized their utility software for use with Mac OS X Leopard.

System Requirements call for any Macintosh, Power Mac, iBook, PowerBook, eMac, iMac, Mac mini, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.4 or newer. Mac Notepad '08 is Universal Binary, which means it runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel-nased Macs.

The full version of Mac Notepad '08 costs 19.95 $ to buy. The upgrade to version '08 is free to registered users.
