Tobu is presented by the developers as an ‘information organizer’, and that’s probably the best way to describe it. Basically, it is an application similar to a notepad, that can store and arrange information in such a way that it facilitates the search of notes and data. It can be used to store any kind of information in a more sophisticated way than with a regular notepad. It may come in handy for people who work daily with lots of text notes, as it can keep them stored within one application, avoiding the need to open separate text documents or programs.
The most salient feature of Tobu is that it works with an effective system of tags, keywords, and filters, allowing us to search and find notes and items quickly. This tag system makes the application very flexible, letting us control and sort information in the most convenient way.
Besides, we can apply basic formatting to the text of our notes, such as bold, italics, colors, and also use different fonts.
Creating tags and new items is very easy, however it may be necessary to take a look at the user guide before getting started, as it may turn out a bit confusing at first sight. Reading the guide will also help us get the most of the program; it really has a lot more to offer and we will surely discover other functions that are not obvious the first times we use it.
Another great feature worth mentioning is the chance of connecting our notes to a URL or shortcut to any file in our computer, which the program will open in seconds. This makes the application much more worthwhile, specially considering that it is completely free.
