  • Notalon is divided into two columns (similar to taking Cornell-style notes). In the left hand column are headers and in the right hand column are notes that correspond with the headers. Formatting is purposely limited to bold and italics, to keep the focus on note taking instead of tinkering with the text. Notalon has keyboard shortcuts for all the its functions, you can quickly create new headers and notes without having to take your hands off the keyboard. Your notes can be saved in the Notalon’s native format or exported as PDF files.
