My productivity app is just todo.txt in one drive using specificaly notepad.exe.
You put .LOG at the top of the new file with a return. Save and close the file.
Every time you reopen the file, the timestamp is append to the file. Add your notes, save, exit notepad. Open it again when you need to update, rinse and repeat.
Nothing I’ve ever tried has been more effective than just keeping this endless file.
- royjacobs 3y agoOh wow, I didn't realize notepad had that feature. Awesome!
- abhinavk 3y agoI cannot confirm right now but Notepad was rewritten for Win11. It might have lost that feature.
- machomaster 3y agoYou can always use Autokey/autohotkey to get this functionality in any software you may want.
- fuzztester 3y agoMetapad is a nice replacement for Notepad, with a few extra useful features, but don't know if it has the feature you refer to. Likely not, because work in it stopped a while ago. But it is still available. I had used it for some years. Still may in future. https://liquidninja.com/metapad/ https://liquidninja.com/metapad/
- allanrbo 3y agoYou can also insert a timestamp in notepad.exe simply by pressing F5. (At least it used to be like this - haven't tried on newest versions of Windows).
