RiteNote is completely free and is easy to use for college/university or high school class/lecture note-taking. By focusing on only this one purpose, the app gets out of your way. It's just you and your keyboard, with only the features you actually care about. The entire UI is visible and can be easily navigated with Esc, arrowkeys, and Return. Windows only, so far. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! RiteNote is open source, we don't expect to make a penny. But we also can't guarantee the software is glitch free, so make backups and save them in a separate folder. The .rite file format can be easily read as .html, in case you want to export your notes, or view them outside the app. Just change the file extension.
