Very intuitive, dos based program that allows catagory creation and flexible input boxes as well as photo input for inventory and parts identification.

I really like it, a bit spendy but they creators answer every email every time.
Support is worth the extra money and its a one time charge, not annual.

Dos based??? PLease tell me you mean Windows, and hopefully something after Win XP???

It hasn't for many years.



The Windows NT family, including current WIndows versions, have not "run in DOS" since 1993.
Windows ME back in 2000 was the last non-NT version to be MS-DOS based.

Use Notes on my ipad for To List, Log, check list, equipment research, etc. Automaticly interfaces with my iphone so is always available wherever I am. The search function is particularly handy (ie what was that problem with the autopilot on that trip 2 years ago?). Being able to save photos in the Notes is also a useful feature.

+1 for Apple Notes in organising, maintenance tasks and documenting on my boat.

Any windows program will run it. Verauons in 32 and 64 bit. All windows runs it. Very versatile.
