Do you have many scraps of paper scattered around in various places recording interesting facts or important pieces of information?
Would you like to use your Palm Powered device to keep track of all this data, but find that the built-in Memos application (or Memo Pad on older devices) doesn't let you organize your notes as you would like to or make it easy enough to find a particular note when you need it?
With a fixed limit of only 15 categories (and no sub-categories), and no way to search other than by using the Global Find facility, Memos isn't really equipped to provide convenient access to your notes when the total number of notes gets large.
"ScrapBook" is a note-taking application, featuring enhanced organizational and search capabilities that help you manage a large collection of notes. ScrapBook also supports encryption, which provides much better security than is offered by 'private' records in Memos.
You can organize your notes using nested folders (as many as you need, nested as deeply as you need), as well as by using standard Palm OS "categories". Also, you can assign a list of keywords to a note, and find notes by searching for one or more keywords. A combination of the nested folders and keyword search features is also available which provides a "virtual folder" capability, in which notes are associated with virtual folders dynamically (based on a correspondence between the words used in a virtual folder's path and the keywords assigned to the associated notes!)
ScrapBook can search its database for multiple words at once (or, optionally, even multiple strings at once), searching keywords, titles, and (optionally) full message texts. This includes the ability to search the message text of encrypted notes (in which case, ScrapBook will decrypt notes on the fly during the search, prompting for passwords as needed, but only when necessary). Search results are sorted so that the best matches are presented first.
ScrapBook can exchange notes, in both directions, with the built-in Memos or Memo Pad application. This also provides a path for exchanging ScrapBook notes and text files on the PC.
Updated Description:
In Edit form, set focus to message text field if expand button is tapped (fixes problem of vertical page scrolling not working after expanding the message field (if the keyword list previously had focus).
