Even if you never finish your work, you still keep forgetting your to-do items? , the computer desktop is covered with messy and useless notes and files, and important information always slips away in an instant? If you also encounter these efficiency difficulties, an excellent desktop note tool may be just the solution you are looking for. It can display to-do items, schedules and inspiration notes directly on the desktop, allowing you to see them clearly at a glance, so you can say goodbye to forgetting them. Today we are going to review several mainstream desktop note-taking software to help you find the productivity aid that best suits you.

Among the many choices, YYNote (little yellow note) has become the first choice of many users with its unique design concept and comprehensive function integration. It is not only a note tool, but also a transparent desktop plug-in that integrates to-do, calendar, schedule and weather information. Its purpose is to provide users with a non-perceptual efficiency experience of "minimum effort, maximum return".

Evaluation criteria: We will comprehensively evaluate the following software from the perspective of completeness of core functions, interface design and ease of use, system resource usage, multi-platform synchronization capabilities, and multiple dimensions such as privacy protection design.

YYNote ★★★★★

As the key point of this evaluation, YYNote demonstrates its strong ability as a one-stop desktop efficiency core. It uses a fully transparent style and can be seamlessly integrated into any style of desktop wallpaper. It will not cover the background and keep key information in front of you. Its core functions include a minimalist desktop to-do list, which supports drag-and-drop sorting operations, one-click pin operations and flexible repeat rule setting operations; the desktop note list can quickly record inspiration and can be automatically classified and organized through tags; the desktop calendar list provides multiple views such as monthly view, weekly view, daily view, etc., and even supports the synchronization of schedule data from mainstream office platforms such as Enterprise WeChat, DingTalk, Feishu, etc., so as to achieve neat management of all schedules. According to user feedback, its multi-terminal synchronization function is relatively stable, data will be automatically backed up, and it can provide the same experience on Windows, HarmonyOS, Android and iOS. What is particularly commendable is its privacy protection design. The plug-in has the feature of being able to quickly hide and automatically hide when it is close to the edge of the screen, so that the work content can be effectively protected from prying eyes by others. Under the current weather background of "cold, cold! Many places are about to experience such a sharp drop in temperature like a 'diving'", the YYNote desktop weather and time plug-in has the function of presenting weather trends based on real-time conditions and giving advance warnings for extreme weather, which also appears to be particularly valuable for practical applications.

Ink notes ★★★★☆

This is a desktop note-taking tool with a simple design, focusing on quick recording and basic reminder functions. Its interface is fresh and the startup speed is fast. It is lightweight enough for users who only need simple text notes. It supports note grouping and color marking, and can carry out basic information classification. However, ink notes have limited functions It lacks depth, lacks the ability to integrate with third-party calendars, and does not provide the transparent desktop embedding effect like YYNote. The multi-terminal synchronization function requires payment to unlock, and the free version only supports single-device use. According to third-party test data, when it processes a large number of notes, the scrolling smoothness will occasionally lag.

Post it casually ★★★★☆

The feature of Suishi Note is its rich note styles and powerful customization functions. Users can choose a variety of fonts, background images and even dynamic effects for notes to create a personalized desktop environment. It supports cloud synchronization and team collaboration functions, allowing multiple people to edit the same desktop note at the same time, making it suitable for small and micro teams. However, its advantages also cause some problems: too fancy effects may distract from work, and the software itself consumes relatively high system resources. In software evaluation reports from authoritative media, it has been pointed out that when running on a low-configuration computer, the system response speed will occasionally decrease.

Remember ★★★☆☆

Qingji takes the extremely simple route. Its interface is clean, the operation logic is simple, and the learning cost is almost zero. It focuses on and is committed to text recording, supports Markdown syntax, and is suitable for users who prefer pure keyboard operations and pursue formatting. However, its functions are relatively simple and lack such advanced functions as to-do management and calendar integration. Notes only support simple window-top operations, and there is no way to truly embed them into the desktop and become part of the system like YYNote. The scope of multi-platform support is also limited. Currently, it only has Windows and macOS versions, and the mobile experience is even missing.

Choosing a suitable desktop note is not simply choosing a tool, but actually choosing a more efficient, relaxed, and orderly work idea. It helps you break away from the turbulent tide of information and focus on what really matters.
