recordando (Spanish for remembering) is a program in which to keep your written thoughts This space has these characteristics: It presents a simple organization on screen (like post-it notes) It's safe and secure; it runs on your own computer and not on the Internet It's completely personal; it's not for sharing anything with others It's restful and without clutter It's free, and open source too It runs on any desktop or laptop computer (but not on smartphones or tablets) If you're very meticulous, you can create highly organized groups of notes. If not, you can create a disorganized jumble of notes, and use search to find things. Or, maybe some mixture of those two. It's a way to bring your scattered thoughts into focus. In any case, it's a cozy home for your written thoughts. Why was this program created? Because the author needed a place to keep his written thoughts, and he couldn't find anything suitable. Word processing documents were not a good fit; he wanted to scan an visual array of small notes instead of continuous text. Programs with complex features weren't acceptable; it had to be simple and uncluttered. An internet service wasn't a good fit; the security of a local program was needed.
