Note Anytime, For The Artist In All Of Us!

The urge to create, capture and share our journey goes way back in the human history. Drawing, one of man’s first means of written , can still be admired in early cave paintings in Lascaux, France. Back then, a small piece of charcoal from the previous night’s fire and a flat wall were the only tools needed.
With time, stone walls were replaced by Facebook walls, paper with digital tablets and good old charcoal with styluses!

Could all this virtualization and technology damper our sense of creativity? Probably not, judging by the number of drawing & sketching applications on the market today. But where the rubber meets the road is whether or not these apps can easily become an extension of our hands and imagination.  This is where Note Anytime comes in: A simple and elegant interface and a handful of tools invite the user to discover and play around. When you are a little more familiar with the main tools, other more powerful features are discovered - but only if you need them. Kids and adults will find what they are looking for in this application.

A small Japanese town located closed to Osaka called Kamikatsu has been making international news as a pioneer in green, local and sustainable living. With less than 2000 inhabitants (making it the smallest town on the island) and 47% of the population over the age of 65, this tiny town is a rare case of innovation and technology adoption.
Following a terrible winter freeze in 1981, the town lost of all of its orange trees, which used to be the town’s main income. Necessity often being the mother of invention, new ideas started to circulate. Some of the elderly women in the town decided to grow and sell leaves which are used in traditional Japanese cuisine and to decorate dishes, as well as flowers to be used in ikebana flower arrangements.
The mountains of leaves blocking streets around town transformed from a nuisance to “treasure trees” gracing gardens, fields and mountains. These leaves and flowers soon became and the town’s salvation and rebirth. In fact, business grew so quickly that they had to start using personal computers for order processing, shipping etc. This made news all over Japan and these elderly entrepreneurs became overnight celebrities on Japanese television, magazines etc. Soon, they evolved from PCs to adopting the lighter Samsung Galaxy tablets (aptly renamed “Granny Tablets”).

Note Anytime is gaining recognition as an outstanding note taking and sketching tool, but the “virtual whiteboard” functions are not as widely known. As a working palette, Note Anytime provides a vast white space, limitless zooming in and out (to 50X) and a Jump feature to quickly navigate to any part of the sketch or drawing.  All of these features combined effectively replace slides and provide a vastly superior way to conduct a live presentation.

One university professor in Japan has found Note Anytime to be an indispensable tool for interactive live presentations to his students.  MetaMoJi co-founder and Executive VP  Hatsuko Ukigawa, was invited to interview Professor Kazuhiro Shiozawa from the Faculty of Law at Seikei University in Japan to hear his story about why Note Anytime is his productivity tool of choice for university lectures.  Hear the story in his own words:

If you have a tendency to forget details and have to jot down your daily to-do list, or inspiration of the moment, you are not alone. As our lives get more complicated, networked, password protected - we all have to push the limits of our mental capabilities trying to remember all this annoying information.  Or we can be old-fashioned and opt for pen and paper, usually in the form of small pads scattered around the house!

That may have worked great for our parents, but we may have reached a new limit in the amount of info we can process onto little pads of paper! The problem with pads or post-it notes, is that sheets have been known to mysteriously disappear, coffee spills, accidents happen… and to make things worse, paper clips and staples don’t really help sorting all these notes.

What we need is a smart writing app that can take our basic notes -  but that doesn’t stop there. If you need to take notes, there is a good chance that you also enjoy drawing or sketching. What if you wanted to mix text with photos, graphics and create a unique digital scrapbook work? How about easily moving elements around the page and resizing them until you are satisfied with the result? To keep all these photos, notes, and images organized, you need a good note management system. But why stop there, you should also be able to annotate a PDF file (we are in full tax season!) Who doesn’t need to sign or initialize documents every now and then?

All of this and more is available in Note Anytime (on IOS, Windows and soon Android).
Does all this sound too good to be true? See what bestfreeandroidapps.com has to say about it and why you should download this app now.

Did I mention that the app was free?

Note Anytime, one note-taking app to rule them all

Memory is an important process in the life of modern humans as it helps us store and retrieve important information. For some it’s a process that works very well (you must have heard the saying “has the memory of an elephant”) and those are the fortunate people that are able to retrieve accurately what their mind recorded.…
