An office tool on Windows
The Guide evolved from the need to have an application that could organize information and ideas in a hierarchical, tree-like structure. Tree-based structures are frequently employed to manage information through a "divide-and-conquer" approach, wherein each level of the tree represents a further level of specialization of the parent-level topic — the best example of this being a book. The Guide is an application that allows you create documents ("guides") which inherently have a tree (which you can modify as you please) and text associated with each node of the tree. The text itself is of the rich-text variety, and the editor allows you to modify the style and formatting of the text (fonts, bold, italics etc).… More Edit

This is it!!
Great little app for organizing pretty much anything. Supports rich formatting and all.
I think the only thing it lacks is encryption, but TrueCrypt can be used to easily work around that.
simple, fast, without clutter.
If privacy, connectivity, and availability weren't concerns, I would put all my information on Google Notebook. Otherwise, I have to have at least one piece of notetaking software installed on my computer. I've tried several:
Microsoft OneNote was too slow and bulky.
EverNote was okay, but it kept nagging me to buy the Pro version.
And finally, I installed The Guide.
Unlike OneNote and EverNote, The Guide has a tree-structured outline. It also handles text notes with a bit of formatting well enough, and that's all I really needed.
