What they say:  " Keynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook, based on Windows standard RichEdit control. It's always accessible with a single keypress, even if you work in another application. . . . [Y]ou can include many separate notes within a single file. This means that you do not need to open several files - for most purposes it is enough to create only one file and hold all your notes inside it."
Observations:  Outliner software. I have used this - it's a little basic, but the price is even more basic! It works but it's easy for information stored to get disorganized.
