"WhizFolders is an outstanding product. Definitely the best piece of software I have purchased all year."
Michael Gadd

"I just purchased WhizFolders Pro and am very impressed with its capabilities. I've been a long time user of organizers and have tried just about everyone that has become available. Two of my favorites have been ... and ... (names withheld), but so far WhizFolders beats them both."

"In addition to the normal note taking, I've already started using it for my web links (annotated "favorites") and for an organized way to launch programs."
Phil Davis

"I'm a writer and journalist; plus I have books out, etc. And it really is helping with my work, way beyond any of the tree type organisers I tested. It really is a powerful tool for writers - and I say that as someone who is very cynical about software 'solutions.'"

"It is by far the most valuable software I have purchased in the last two years, and I recommend it to all of my colleagues and students. It has become the center of my work.

How do you write your notes more effectively so that they are easier to review later?

Here are some tips. WhizFolders is based on these principles and helps you write notes that are easier to review, brainstorm and comprehend later.

Note taking in pieces, a new idea Do not write your notes in a single long word processor document. A long document is difficult to review and understand.

Write your notes in pieces, and insert them in a list of notes. Give a good descriptive name to each note or piece for easy indentification.

A list of note names is easier to review and comprehend. Such a list of notes is the foremost and a better view of the ideas in your whole document. You are able to see all the notes at a glance. The text of the note is of secondary importance. You see it only if necessary.



Note taking with drag & drop Move around the note pieces in the list and arrange them in a sequence according to your own understanding. This sequence is often different from the sequence that the original author made up. If you are writing from your own thoughts, the ideas often come to you in random order and you sequence them later when reviewing.

Categorize the list of notes further by making a hierarchy of notes. Make some notes, children of a particular summary note. Introduce new parent notes as necessary to help the categorization.

Note taking with drag & drop Make important note names stand out by highlighting them with a different color. These colors add another dimension to the categorization. For example, some notes are related to each other even if they are in different categories in the list. Highlight them with the same color.







Note taking with links Often when looking up a note, it reminds you of another note that you added in some other place in the list. Just drop a link to that other note in the text of the current note. This helps immensely in reviewing because you click on the links and see all the notes relevant to that idea. This adds yet another dimension to the categorization of your notes as described above.

WhizFolders supports each and every idea presented above with a simple, intuitive interface. It supports Rich Text too so that you can enter any international character in any font. Some users are even using Hebrew characters to make Bible notes.
Combining the pieces into a document
When you are done writing a set of note pieces, you can combine multiple pieces to make a document to give to someone. Just select the desired notes, copy them to the clipboard and paste them in a word processor as a single document. Or you can even print those pieces together as a book directly with WhizFolders.

Use WhizFolders and satisfy your mind that always seeks better classification tools when dealing with new ideas


Note taking in a two pane window Not only can you do all of the above easily with simple drag and drop, button click features, you can also do a host of other things--use auto-pasting to collect information from the Internet and other documents, have links to open web sites and even other documents, export the notes to HTML to make a web page, export to RTF for use in your word processor, set up a document to automatically prefix note names with date and time to make your own diary or journal, distribute your notes to others with the freeware viewer utility, embed OLE objects like spreadsheets directly in your notes, and so on.

WhizFolders is so flexible that you can use it in hundreds of ways. Just see the list below.
  • A Note Organizer: Keep thousands of notes organized in each file.
  • An Outliner: Start your writing projects easily. Outline your ideas in a tree like structure with drag and drop features.
  • A Bibliographic Cross-reference Tool: Drop easy links to other related notes, making it easy to make a well-linked document.
  • A Study Tool: Learn new subjects in pieces and understand them faster. Drop links between related notes for easy review.
  • A Clipboard Data Collection Utility: Use the convenient Auto-pasting feature, and collect new ideas and facts easily from the Internet and other sources.
  • A Bookmark or Favorites Utility: Drop links to web sites and to other documents on your disk. Document all those links properly with attached notes.
  • A Family Tree Maker: Drop links between family tree notes to describe the relationships.
  • A Different Type of Calendar, Diary or Todo List: Apply your mind, and use the easy hyperlinking features to make your own calendar, diary or task list that works in new ways. See some examples in user comments.
  • Replace your Notepad or Cardfile software: You are no longer limited to plain dull notes. Enter rich text in your notes along with hyperlinks, pictures and OLE objects.
  • A Thinking Aid or Brainstorming Tool: Start storing those brilliant random ideas (cross-thoughts) that you often get but can't promptly place in a document for future reference.
  • More uses... You are limited only by your imagination. Please see user comments and also visit the Blog.

Don't lose precious cross thoughts. Give your mind the tool that it deserves


Do not lose brilliant ideas. Write them down and brainstorm them with this organizer software While writing your notes and ideas, you often get a cross-thought, that "other" brilliant idea that pops up in your creative mind unexpectedly. You may have had a tendency to ignore cross-thoughts all along just because your software made it inconvenient to note that down elsewhere. Don't do that. WhizFolders makes it easy to write down a cross thought as a separate note, and have a link going to it from the current note if it is related.

There is no hidden database in some spurious location to deal with when it comes to backing up your notes or giving them to a friend. You can keep such huge set of notes in a single disk file with a name and location of your choice. You can have as many such files as you want for different purposes, giving you maximum flexibility in managing them with the Windows explorer and other familiar utilities. You can search through these files for any piece of information, just like an Internet search engine. For example, you can look for notes that contain the words "meeting and Tom" or "Tom or Peter." That gives you limitless power for storing and finding your notes. Moreover, you can give away our freeware, compact viewer software with your notes so that WhizFolders is not needed when viewing these notes. The possibilities are endless with WhizFolders.

Each WhizFolder document opens up in a nice explorer style two pane list


You can keep hundreds or even thousands of notes in a single WhizFolder document. Your notes are neatly organized in a tree-like, hierarchial list. You can drag & drop note names around the list to make an outline of note names.

You can even insert links in the list to make your document a powerful Favorites utility with unlimited notes for bookmarks. For example, you can insert links to web sites with accompanying notes so that you don't tear your hair trying to remember why you put that link.

Put on the "Watch clipboard" option for a document, and go on copying text or pictures from your browser or any other application. The corresponding notes will be added automatically in your WhizFolder document.

The picture shows the confirmation dialog that comes up before auto pasting. Here, using the Vista Snipping Tool, I copied a portion of a web page as a picture and WhizFolders immediately brought up the watch clipboard confirmation where I can change the name of the new item being added.
