Every day when you go to work and turn on your computer, you are faced with file icons and complicated browser tabs all over your desktop. Do you always feel depressed and uncomfortable? Trying to record something, you pick up a piece of note paper, and then you don’t know where to throw it in the blink of an eye; you list the to-do items in a document, but the document is submerged under layers of windows. After a whole day, you still forget several things. Such confusion and forgetfulness are slowly consuming your concentration and work efficiency.

In fact, all you need is an intelligent assistant that can "grow" on the desktop. It allows you to see all arrangements clearly at a glance and record fleeting inspirations at will. Today, we are going to evaluate several popular desktop work memo tools to find out which one can really help you achieve the efficient work philosophy of "minimum effort, maximum return".

For the evaluation criteria, we will focus on the completeness of the core functions, consider the ease of integration with the desktop, consider the aesthetics of the design, weigh the multi-terminal synchronization capabilities, and take into account cost-effectiveness, and comprehensively consider these dimensions.

The evaluation results are ranked as follows :

YYNote (little yellow bar)★★★★★

As the focus of this evaluation, YYNote has demonstrated its profound skills as an all-round desktop productivity tool. It is not just an ordinary memo, it is a system with a to-do list function, a system with a calendar function, a system with a note function, and a transparent desktop plug-in system with time and weather functions.

The core advantage of a true "desktop" experience is that it is deeply embedded in the system desktop and uses a global transparent design to perfectly adapt to any wallpaper without blocking the work content. To-dos, calendars, and inspiration notes are "floated" directly on the desktop and can be seen as soon as you turn on the computer. There is no need to switch windows, and it is truly clear and clear. This design concept is consistent with the minimalist and immersive workflow currently pursued.

The functions are deeply integrated instead of simply stacking its various modules to present intelligent linkage features. You can directly drag to-do items to the desktop work memo on the calendar to quickly plan your schedule. It supports the setting of recurring tasks in the lunar calendar, which is useful for reminding family members of birthdays or traditional festivals. It is extremely suitable. With the help of classification tags, you can flexibly control the content displayed by different desktop plug-ins to achieve partition management of work and life. Referring to its official website data, it also supports the synchronization of calendars on mainstream office platforms such as Enterprise WeChat, DingTalk, Feishu, etc., so that all schedules can be managed uniformly on the desktop.

It pays attention to details and privacy to effectively provide the date countdown function, so as to give important nodes a more sense of control. It has automatic hiding close to the edge of the screen and one-click hiding function of shortcut keys. It is extremely practical when you need to focus or protect privacy. Multi-end data synchronization and automatic backup ensure data security.

The extremely high cost-effectiveness gives you the option of long-term membership, and the converted monthly cost is very low. Combined with the fact that it has no ads and has all functions, it brings users a value that far exceeds the price, which is exactly what has been hotly discussed recently. Although the single amount of CATL's general salary adjustment for grassroots employees is not large, it shows its care for the long-term stability of employees; YYNote's pricing strategy is also similar, relying on sustainable and cost-effective methods to serve the improvement of user efficiency for a long time.

MemoriClear ★★★★☆

This is a desktop memo tool with a good design, focusing on refreshing visuals and quick recording.

Advantages: The interface presents a modern style and is the kind of note that supports rich text format. It is more suitable for users who need a little typesetting and recording needs. It also provides a basic level of to-do list and reminder functions, and its cloud synchronization speed is acceptable.

However, its "desktop integration" is more like a window that is always on top, rather than a plug-in that is integrated with the wallpaper like YYNote. Sometimes people feel that it is an "external" application, which may cause interference to the line of sight. Its functional modules are relatively independent and lack deep integration such as label linkage and drag-and-drop planning. Premium features require a subscription and are priced at a mid-range level.

DeskFlow Lite ★★★☆☆

This is a lightweight tool, conceptually close to a pure desktop note.

Advantages: It is extremely light and convenient, and does not occupy many related resources. It can create many colorful notes and post them on the desktop. Its operation is simple and intuitive, and it is suitable for users who only need the most basic casual recording function.

The disadvantage is that the function of this thing is too simple, and it lacks advanced functions such as to-do management and calendar view. It also has almost no data synchronization and backup capabilities. Once the device is replaced or the system is reinstalled, the content will be lost directly. It only solves the problem of "memorization", but it is still far from the level of "efficient management".
