Boostnote For Mac

Boostnote is a note taking application aimed to meet the needs of code developers: the entries are searchable by tag or by category, and the text editor provides support for Markdown markup and syntax highlighting for more than 100 programming and scripting languages.

All the Boostnote-related activity takes place in a single window that is organized in three columns: the first is reserved for your folders list, the second shows the posts included in a particular category, while most of the space is allocated for the note editing workspace.

The app automatically assigns a different color code for each user defined notes category, but you don’t have the option to customize them. In fact, besides the toggle finder hotkey, the user has no other personalization options.

The good news is that Boostnote is based on the Electron framework, so it integrates seamlessly with the overall Mac OS X look and feel.

Within the note editor, you get to select the syntax highlighting pattern you want to employ for the current entry. Boostnote provides support for plain text, Markdown, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and many other programming or scripting languages.

For your convenience, Boostnote also integrates a finder tool that enables you search and copy to your clipboard notes without actually activating the app’s main window. The function comes with a system wide hotkey that can be easily changed by the user.

Boostnote provides a streamlined workspace for writing and organizing notes: you can group them by category, and you get to assign tags to streamline the search process.

Since Boostnote allows you to store code snippets while using the appropriate syntax highlighting, the tool can prove quite useful while writing code.
