It is time to take advantage of the benefits of civilization in this case.
OneNote
Almost the most famous program, a notebook for a computer, is OneNote (literal translation is “one record”). This is an application from Microsoft, which is even installed by default in the latest (8 and 10) versions of Windows. But even if the user has an earlier OS or for some reason OneNote has been removed from the computer, it is offered for free download from the official Microsoft website or in the "Application Store".

The number of such databases is not limited.

For example, the function of many tabs has been added (as you know, in the program installed on each PC by default, it is not possible to open several documents at once).
It supports not only multitasking (which, by the way, is remembered by the program and can later be played), but also the scalability of the text, and various plugins allow you to work with different encodings. With all the features and excellent speed, Notepad ++ also weighs quite a bit and installs very quickly. Moreover, the program is free.
