![]() ![]() What if I shut them out? Put a good fast lock at the entrance of my mind, and a sign, which says: No entry permitted without passport. They know that they are stronger than I am. Like vampires: once you opened a window for them, they can enter freely and feed on you. They come and go without waiting to be beckoned in. Thoughts that keep racing through your head, chasing each other or more often chasing their own tails. The silence you hear, when you’re alone, only with your thoughts for company. But inside, I would still hear the silence. If I switched on my external hard disk drive now and played some music from my vast collection, maybe this would drown the silence around me. But then again: what is it? Listening to the steady hum of my computer and the steady clicking of my fingers on the keys, the silence around me feels all the more solid. Typos by the score, yet at the same time my writing is rapid, as if I needed to catch something that’s trying to escape my grip. While the Thought Train’s minimalistic design may attract some users, it’s a bit too simplistic and robust to be considered an essential note-taking tool.Sitting here at my desk, nervous, with a heartbeat far too fast, waiting for something to happen … But for what? My fingers hardly obey my mind’s instructions on typing the words in the correct order of letters. The emoji will appear as soon as you type them, though, so at least you can have fun with that feature.īack in the main interface, you can rearrange your notes, view them in Compact Mode, hide them from the menu bar (which actually means hiding them from the tooltip that you get when you hover your cursor over the app’s icon in the system tray) or mark them as done. Theoretically, Thought Train allows you to stylize your notes with Markdown, but when I tested it, whichever words were supposed be *bold* were actually displayed in italics. You’ll then be prompted to the note editor, which will seem easy to use if you know Markdown if not, then you could probably get used to it quickly, provided it worked properly. You can easily create notes by going to the text box at the top of the window, where you can just type something. Its interface is minimalistic and doesn’t allow for a lot of customization, meaning it will stay the same size and color. For this reason, it resides in your system tray, so that you can access it only when you need it. The aptly named Thought Train was designed with the idea of allowing you to quickly write something down, while also not getting in the way of your workflow. Thought Train is one of these apps, so let’s see if it lives up to its promise. And since developers already know this, there are countless notes applications waiting for you to use, starting with Microsoft’s own Sticky Notes that became popular with Windows 7.Įvery so often, there comes an app that suggests it tries to do the whole note thing a bit differently. It’s important to be able to take quick notes on your desktop applications that let you do that soon become essential tools for organizing your daily activities. During the trial period, or once it ends, you can pay any amount (even $0) and keep the app forever. NOTE: Thought Train is pay-what-you-want until the end of April.
