Notekeeper: Location-aware Notepad for iPhone

Many times in the past I’ve written about the apps and tools I use in my MacStories workflow. If you’ve been following MacStories for a while now, then you must know that I’m an avid Simplenote user. It’s simple, it syncs over the air, it’s available on the iPad and the next version will rock. I’m telling you.

But anyway, that’s the not the point. I’ve tried many note-taking applications over the years, and I’ve decided to stick with Simplenote because it just works. But not everyone needs to do what I have to do with notes (portability, plain text, multiple devices, reliable backend) so it’s very likely that you don’t really care about cloud, dashboard widget for desktop publishing and such.

I know you’re running other note apps on your iPhones and iPads - so why don’t give a try to Notekeeper?

The High Order Bit developers are releasing some great applications: first came Twitbit, then GPS Tracks, Chirpy (one of my most used applications) and now Notekeeper. Notekeeper is a note-taking application with location capabilities: you can tie a note (or multiple ones) to a specific location, attach photos to that note and email it later keeping all the location data the app gathered for you.

It’s got a very simple and plesant interface, the icon is beautiful. Is it useful? If you’re that kind of user who’s into location-awereness, then you should consider Notekeeper. Every time you’ll end up in that location, you’ll be able to enter some notes, take some pictures and store them for future reference.

You know what to do.Available at $1.99 in the App Store.
