Great small app

This is a perfectly simple and wonderful app. I agree with the reviewer below, it does deserve an award.
I use a different app for list management/GTD, but this app is perfect for a range of tasks - outlining papers, comprehensive grocery lists, brainstorming ideas.
The keyboard shortcuts are great. I _like_ the lack of customizability - you can spend too much time deciding how far you want indents to be, whether you want dots or numbers for sub-items, etc. No decisions here, and that's great.
Export to text works well in my limited experience.

Great for GTD

It's not especifically made for GTD but I find it perfect for it because of how easy it is to add items and because I value simplicity.
Any given line can be a project when it has tasks as children, and tasks can have notes as children. Any of these things are added instantly without selecting dates or priorities or contexts like GTD apps.
I move projects to the top of the list and/or color them red and/or open to see its tasks when I want them to show high priority (this is really easy with all the keyboard commands)
I color tasks blue if their context is outside (fortunately I live on just about three contexts)
The shortcuts window is really great as a "trainning mode"
The only downside as a GTD app is having to save the file instead of automatically saving and defaulting to the previously opened list(s) when the app opens again.
Also, a delay before opening parents when dragging lines up and down would be appreciated.

simple notepad-outliner works great - Version: 1.2.1, 9/12/2004 12:38AM PST

just perfect for certain needs
only nit - author added a keyboard command to the Keyboard Shortcuts window that you can make visible to refer to while you work - he added an item but left the window the same size and now all the text doesn't fit in the fixed-size window. Not a big deal, but...
Anyway, kept that 5th star missing, that and limited customizability and export abilities
Still, great app

This app deserves an award. I use it to keep track of all my programming ideas and I use it for rudimentary documentation as well. Easy interface, small file saves, small app. Features are enough, but it could use quite a few more. There is much room for improvement, but I think it's great otherwise.

There is certainly a lot of freeware garbage available and this app, though it actually runs, still is close to the top of the heap. Requiring a click before each entry and creating its own text file type, though, is an ingenious way to get that forhead vein pounding harder and harder. Steer clear if your not a masochist!

A Perfect Lister - Version: 1.1, 6/5/2003 12:50PM PST

If you want an outliner, you'd be happier with Word. However, if you want a simple to-do list that allows hierarchical grouping of items, Deep Notes is perfect. No bells and whistles...no dates and alarms... just a straight-forward to do lister. Couldn't be better. And the price is right:)
Nice program but could use some additional features - Version: 1.0, 5/18/2003 07:52AM PST

I played around with this application for a while, and it seems pretty good as a basic outline generator. It would be nice if it could export/import tabbed-text outlines that could be used/generated by other applications (eg BBEdit).
I'm an habitual list-maker, and I find myself jotting lists down here and there, and I can never find that one place where aggregating my lists WORKS. Not until I found Deep Notes, that is. It thinks like I do ... categories ... sub-categories ... color. Love it.
When I start feeling myself overwhelmed by the magnitude and diversity of what I have to do, I start listing things in Deep Notes, and there I can see -- plainly and simply -- what the whole ball of wax is made from. It's simple to use, and that's the key.
