MyShelf: Evernote-Like Cross-Platform Note Taking & Syncing Without An Internet Connection

When I first discovered MyShelf, it looked quite impressive, but then I thought it's just another cloud service (until I saw the big noCloud logo on the developer’s website, of course) that provides synchronization between your various devices. MyShelf does provide synchronization of your personal documents that you create and add to it, but it's not a cloud-based service. The application is geared towards people who need to keep various personal notes at their fingertips. It allows you to add pictures, text snippets, links etc., related to those notes, which are referred to as Elements. Not only does the application support Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, it also offers applications for both iOS and Android. The application is designed to let you Shelf anything you want on the go. Whether you’re at work or enjoying vacations, at a meeting or at friend’s place etc., you can instantly jot important notes down using MyShelf. Links, pictures or text snippets can be attached for any reference. For instance, you liked this baby’s photo on the internet, Shelf that photo with a text “cute” or a URL link from where you found it. The uniform interface across all the devices is easy on the eyes and feels great. Read More
