CintaNotes is a tag-based, text-only personal notes manager for collecting bits and pieces of information such as thoughts and ideas, article excerpts, quotes, research etc. A global hot key (by default Ctrl-F12) clips pieces of text from other applications such as web browsers or any local program. The window title becomes title/subject of the note and the highlighted text selected becomes the body.
The program is useful to quickly take down and tag any piece of useful text that you come across and quickly organize by date, keywords, title, link and note size. A search tool searches the entire database with search keyword highlighting.
Note: Some features limited to a "pro" version include tabbed sections, pasting notes into other apps, hierarchical tags and multiple notebooks.

@ wkm: Thanks ... and done.
v2.4
There's again portable version of distribution file. You can change link from *.exe to *.zip file, and change description of installing.
v2.4
I would second ResophNotes, an excellent, fast and simple note taking app that nicely syncs with Dropbox and various mobile note apps. Depends what you need. Works nicely for me and I prefer it over Evernote, which has many features I would never need.
v2.3
AlexJenter: based on the current system, it's still considered freeware (for example, XMind and Rainlendar have this same status). If the program removes it's core functionality, (aka crippleware) but export and other features are, as Erkhyan points out, not everyday necessities.
V1.8.1
Well, I don’t know about you, but XML export being free doesn’t exactly make it really handy or useful for me in everyday situations, and being able to export notes to HTML one at a time is still much better than not being able to export at all.
V1.8.1
@Administrators: could you please change the license from "Freeware" to "Freemium" or "Free + Commercial"?
V1.8.1
@ancientimages:
Fair enough. But then probably you should also mention that:
1) CintaNotes has 100% free XML export, which none of the mentioned programs have;
2) Some of these free programs are no longer developed
3) Don't know about the other, but in ResophNotes you can export to HTML only one note at a time ;)
V1.8.1
@AlexJenter:
No one wants a "paid vs free argument," but this being Portable Freeware, it's important to note that these days certain features of CintaNotes are only available with a $25 1-year license.
Features like HTML Export, which you'll find for free in progreams like RedNotebook, ResophNotes, KeyNote NF, KeepNote, etc.
