Description

Yes, there are dozens of note taking apps out there for jotting down quick snippets. However, Curiota is unique in several ways.

First, Curiota isn’t just for notes! It combines the abilities of a quick, lightweight note taking app with the flexibility of a file shoebox app.

Curiota has a completely open method for storing your notes and files. There’s no proprietary database or file format, thus no database corruption issues or vendor lock-in. Your notes and files will be safe and accessible for decades, even outside of Curiota.

Curiota has a simple, intuitive interface to create, browse, and search through your collected items, plus services and scripting support for more ways to add to your collections. It’s always available, running silently in the background, while using very little memory or CPU.

You can store your Curiota notes and files anywhere you wish, including within a synced folder such as Dropbox or iCloud Drive, as long as it’s Spotlight accessible.

Curiota can optionally integrate with Curio, our flagship note-taking, brainstorming, and task tracking notebook app.

And, the best part: Curiota is free! No subscriptions.

Almost fantastic

Needs:
1) A keyboard shortcut when search box is focused to jump INTO the top note, instead of tabbing to select it.
2) Force Dark Background option when in Dark mode, instead of Force White Background.
3) Spotlight search is... spotty (compared to nvAlt). Notes that should show up sometimes don't until edited again.

"Curiota App Review"

Having just used "Curiota" for the first time after having it for a while, I had to rush right over and write this review and leave a five-star review for it. As I just said, I have had the "Curiota" app for quite some time but never got around using it until today (November 18, 2018). I was using an app similar to "Curiota" called "MiniNote" so, I'm assuming, that that is the reason why I took so long to give "Curiota" a try. Am I ever sorry about that! Though I have been satisfied to give "MiniNote" a five-star review," "Curiota" would get more than a five-star review if only there was a way that I could; I love it that much! What makes me love "Curiota" is that it gives for free (boldface print, italicized print, underling, word search, and word replacement options to name some examples.) what "MiniNote" makes you pay for in its "pro" version. It also offers more for less...memory, that is. I don't care if it's one kilobyte. I ABSOLUTELY love it when I can save any memory that I possibly can!!! This is why I give "Curiota" a five-star review. Thank you EVER SO MUCH for making this wonderful app!!! I GREATLY appreciate it!!!

1. Please add the feature to dismiss window when user clicks outside the app popup
