During my PWK training, I absolutely fell in love with KeepNote. I used it extensively for tracking all the different networks, all the hosts in that network, all the different scan results and loot I’d collect on each, and also general notes about attack vectors I had tried, what worked, what didn’t work, what to explore, little code snippets or Linux commands for easy copy-and-paste use later, links to helpful articles…you get the picture.
Unfortunately, KeepNote isn’t very well-maintained. As of this Fourth of July, the latest versions uploaded to the main site are five years old. The original developer did put it on Github two years ago, but there haven’t been many pull requests accepted since then and he obviously doesn’t have the time to keep up with it anymore. Totally understandable, but it sucks because I haven’t found a good, well-maintained replacement for it.
And believe me, I’ve tried! Evernote, Bear, nvALT, desktop wikis like Zim, the macOS Notes app, and on and on. No one else is doing, or even offering an option to do, the same kind of UI layout. I don’t know why, but the three-pane arrangement of KeepNote just hits the spot for me. The outline on the left side, submenu on top right, and notes section on bottom left; no one else arranges their app like this.
For real, this is my happy place.
