If you need a place to store your notes, then Elephant is exactly what you should use. It is a simple not-taking application, with search and tagging features. Rather than pasting or typing in a plain text document, you can store everything you want to remember in this application and manage everything much easier.

Elephant is available as a freeware application, for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It comes as a single executable file, so you don't have to go through an installation process. The application doesn't need any kind of additional tools and its hardware requirements are modest.

When launched for the first time, the application will ask you to select a folder where it can store your database. Once this step is complete, you may start populating your database with notes right away. You can navigate to an inbox, tips, recently added items and other sections through a series of shortcuts, located in a column, on the left side of the user interface. Created notes are displayed in the central region, while their contents are shown on the right side.

The software lets you create more than one notebook in the same database, which enables you to sort and categorize your notes more efficiently. Besides typing plain text, you can also insert images in your notes, add HTML files and display them as notes and more. Another useful feature is the possibility of tagging notes. All tags are listed in their own section, which gives you the possibility of finding all notes that are related to a specific subject. Searching for notes using tags as keywords is another possibility.

Pros

Elephant is clean and simple. It doesn't come with any complicated functions, so even inexperienced users can work with this software. The application is lightweight and it doesn't need to be installed.

Cons

The application's simplicity may be a drawback for some users. If you wish to write down or save certain contents you may need later, Elephant can provide you with everything you need.
