Freeware Tools: Info-Base 4.4

Info-Base is a lightweight portable tool that's easy to understand software solution created to serve as a means of organizing various bits and pieces of information into several groups, enabling you to easily search through all the entries and quickly locate the items you need. Because the application does not require an installation process in order to work, you can simply decompress the archive and launch the executable. It comes only with basic rules and it lets you keep note stacks on your desktop. Whenever you add a new note, it will be placed at the top of the proper stack.

Info-Base lets you store all kinds of data and it provides various templates which you can customize. The application provides the ability to find your notes using combined filters, the option to add bookmarks as well as set alarms by date.

Info-Base’s interface is rather basic, featuring several panels, such as ‘Notes’, ‘Tags’ or ‘Stacks’, into which you can input comments, organize entries into categories or search for specific items throughout all the entered data.

Aside from the program’s toolbar that provides you with quick access to numerous functions, you can also use the right-click menu, offering you the ability to create, edit or delete records with just a few mouse moves.

To get started, you need to create a ‘Stack’, which is basically a chapter or category of notes into which you can then begin adding records, by selecting the ‘New’ option from the context menu of the ‘Notes’ panel.

The lower section lets you type the comments you wish to save for later, allowing you to insert hyperlinks, date or timestamps, or simply run search operations based on words inside your text.

Each entry can be assigned various tags, for easier identification. In addition, Info-Base lets you move records from one ‘Stack’ to the other.

All in all, Info-Base proves to be a useful, albeit fairly simple utility which aims to assist you in neatly organizing your important information into a freeform database, allowing you to store notes, comments, links and countless other records in a single, easily accessible location.
