Nocs is an interesting take on the concept of having access to your notes from anywhere. Instead of having to build out another infrastructure, the Nocs author leverages your existing Google Docs account for storage and integration. Just use the windows client to work with existing docs or create new ones.
Aside from the “in the cloud” aspect, think Windows Notepad. And all the formatting options that Notepad offers…
Tip: Don’t select a bunch of text and hit ctrl-I to italicize it – it’ll just disappear! Oh, and don’t hit ctrl-Z to undo that gaffe – nothing will happen. Just close the doc and re-open it instead.
From Nocs you can browse and open any document in your Google Docs account. This is a great feature but because of the formatting limitations don’t open a fully formatted document – or one with images – in Nocs and make changes. All the formatting – and images – will disappear.
Limitations aside though, this is a nifty little note taking application. Each note is a doc. Since the docs are hosted on Google Docs you can do some cool stuff with sharing docs or folders. Cool way to to have access to all of your notes and integrate them with a team.
For the future it’d be nice to see some more full featured formatting options. It would also be nice if Nocs created documents in a specified Google Documents folder.
If you’re looking for a Windows note taking app that lets you also access those notes from the web you might give this one a look. Lightweight, fast loading and easy to use are all big pluses.
