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).

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.
