AllMyNotes Organizer vs MyInfo

AllMyNotes Organizer

• Windows users who want private notes kept off the cloud
• Keeping passwords, contacts and diaries in one protected file
• People who prefer to pay once instead of subscribing

MyInfo

• Windows users building a personal wiki or knowledge base offline
• Researchers and writers who outline and file large sets of notes
• People moving from TreePad, whose files MyInfo imports

AllMyNotes Organizer

• Windows only: the FAQ suggests Wine-style layers for Linux and Mac and remote desktop tools for phones, and there are no mobile apps.
• There is no cloud sync; moving data to another computer means copying the .ddb file or following the maker's separate sync instructions.
• The free Lite Edition leaves out encryption, alarms, images, file attachments, tables, the recycle bin and automatic backups.
• A license covers one major version: a later major version costs 50% of the regular price unless it is released within 12 months of purchase.

MyInfo

• Windows only (Windows 7 or newer); the web clipper extension needs Chrome, Firefox, Edge or another Chromium-based browser.
• Notebooks are stored only on your own computer, and the maker runs no cloud service for them.
• The $99 purchase includes one year of updates; further updates cost $49 per year, although the last version received keeps working.
• A business needs a separate license for each device, while an individual may install it on every computer they own.

AllMyNotes Organizer

Tree of folders and notes

Notes sit in a free-form hierarchy of folders. Deluxe adds icons, colors, priorities and checkboxes on tree items for task and project lists.

One local database file

All data is stored in a single .ddb file on your PC, with no cloud or account, and a portable version runs from a USB drive.

Encryption and password protection

Deluxe password-protects the whole file or individual folders and includes a password generator. Lite can still open protected files with the correct password.

Global search

Filter-as-you-type search covers every note. Deluxe adds boolean queries in a Google-like syntax and filters the results into the tree.

Rich text editor

Font and paragraph formatting in both editions. Deluxe adds tables, images, file attachments, links between notes, checkboxes and a spell checker.

Alarms, backups and import

Deluxe attaches alarms to notes and folders and makes scheduled backups. Both editions import RTF, HTML, CSV, TXT, Evernote and KeyNote files.

MyInfo

Notebooks, sections and trees

Notes are arranged hierarchically in a tree or in a sortable list, can be ordered by hand, and notebooks split into color-coded sections.

Tags, attributes and perspectives

Notes take tags, attribute values and metadata that appear as columns in the note list, with perspectives and conditional formatting on top.

Rich text editor

Notes hold pictures, tables, lists, checklists and text styles, with Markdown-style shortcuts and spell checking in more than 40 languages.

Web clipper and attachments

A browser extension sends web snippets, articles and PDFs to MyInfo, and notes can carry several attachments and local copies of files and web pages.

Filter and global search

Quick Filter narrows the note list, and Global Search uses boolean syntax across all notebooks, including text inside attached PDFs and Office files.

Export, publishing and encryption

Exports to HTML, OPML, Microsoft Word and plain files and folders, publishes a notebook as a website, and password-protects notebooks with encryption.
