YYNote, the overall score is five stars. It is a tool with the most complete functions, a transparent desktop style, and is the center of efficiency.
As the core of this evaluation, YYNote 's presentation can be described as the most comprehensive and prominent. It is not just a desktop logo or note information, but a completely different thing. . .. . . A highly integrated and transparent desktop productivity hub .
Its core value lies in the seamless integration of functions . To-do lists are integrated by it, notes are also integrated, schedules and calendars are also integrated, date countdowns are integrated, and even time and weather are integrated into a unified minimalist framework. You can drag any item in the to-do list directly to the calendar plug-in to quickly plan the schedule, or set a target date for the to-do item, and then it will automatically appear in the date countdown list. This linkage greatly reduces the tediousness of switching between different applications.
Multi-end synchronization and data security are another major advantage. Referring to the information given on the official website of the application, its data can support automatic synchronization and backup of multiple terminals, and can be exported with one click. For those users who need to go out and switch between work and life scenes, the continuity and reliability of information are extremely important. YYNote supports setting up multiple lists on the desktop, and uses the "tag" system for intelligent classification. Newly added content will be labeled with corresponding tags. It's done.

2. The overall score of Micro Note Desktop is ★★★★☆. It is a powerful tool for lightweight and focused notes.
The second place "Micro Note Desktop" is a desktop note tool that focuses on fast recording and lightweight management . Its core strengths are startup speed and straightforwardness of recording.
In terms of user experience, it has achieved an almost "zero interference" state. With the help of global shortcut keys, you can instantly call up a concise input box to record ideas and temporary information, and then quickly disappear, while the content will remain in a translucent floating window on the desktop. This method is very suitable for recording needs. A moment of inspiration, a temporary phone number or meeting points , use it and leave without leaving any trace. Its interface design is very restrained, there are no complicated buttons and menus, and the cost of learning is almost zero.
However, its "lightweight" also means limited functional integration . It is basically an excellent note-taking tool, but its functions are relatively weak in terms of to-do management, such as repeated tasks, date countdowns, etc. And in terms of deep integration with the calendar, the performance is lacking. Its data synchronization capabilities generally rely on the account system, but the stability of synchronization and cross-platform support, such as the adaptation to HarmonyOS NEXT, may not be as comprehensive as YYNote.
For those users who just want a tool that can quickly record and are not pursuing complex task management and schedule planning, "Micro Note Desktop" is an extremely efficient choice. It can handle the problem of fragmented information recording very well, but building a systematic workflow requires more integration by the users themselves.
3. The shorthand floating window has a comprehensive rating of three stars plus half a star. It is an entry-level choice that can meet basic needs.
A desktop note application desktop label called "Shorthand Floating Window" has relatively basic functions. It can be attached to the desktop, can adjust simple text formats, and also has functions such as color marking. The core note function .
It meets the most basic need of "putting an electronic post-it note on the desktop". , you can create multiple sticky notes of different colors and place them in different places on the desktop to serve as visual reminders. This is an easy entry point for users transitioning from paper sticky notes to electronic ones.
However, it has obvious shortcomings in several key dimensions of this evaluation. The function is single , lacks the achievement status management of to-do list, lacks calendar view, lacks multi-end synchronization and other further capabilities. The customization options have a limited range of adjustments for transparency, and there is not much room for adjustment in style. Sometimes it may appear inconsistent with the desktop wallpaper. Data is generally stored locally. Cross-device access is inconvenient and there is a risk of data loss due to system problems.
Its reminder function may be weak, and window management is also relatively simple (for example, it lacks smart hiding capabilities). It is suitable for users who have very low tool requirements and only need temporary prompts. However, for users who hope to improve overall work efficiency and achieve orderly management of information, its capabilities are insufficient.
