What is Maxinote ? 

Whether you are creating messages or simply jotting down notes you can now input 
text using Maxinote's fast and friendly on-screen keypad. 

The Maxinote design allows you to keep your focus predominantly on the screen while
performing the majority of input actions using your mobile's navigational key.

  

Intuitive Interface

Maxinote's unique and intuitive design means you only have to remember two things:

  short key presses 
and
  long key presses

A short key press is used to enter text or navigate the Maxinote pink cursor. 
Holding down the same navigation key for two seconds represents a long key press,
and will instruct Maxinote to perform a secondary action. A long key press is used for 
switching to a different mode or screen location. 

For example, 
A long key press <up> will move your cursor up into the Standard-Editing-Mode
A long key press <down> will move your cursor back down into Maxinote-Mode.

A long key press <right> will move your cursor over to the HotText group.
A long key press <left> will move your cursor back to the keypad.

Finally, 
A long <ente
r> key press on the alpha-keypad will change the case of a letter.
A long <enter> key press on a custom character or HotText cell will enable you to edit the cell content. 



It's as simple as that! 

(See table at bottom of page for the full list of key press actions).

 

Efficient Texting

Maxinote aims to improve your texting efficiency by:

  • Reducing the need to continually divert your eyes away from the screen.
  • Eliminating the pause required between multi-tap key presses on the same button.
  • Reducing the amount of time needed to access non alpha-numeric symbols.
  • Reducing the amount of time spent retyping common words such as 'the', 'and', 'what' 'when' etc.

Storage and Security

If you ever wanted to store sensitive details on you mobile phone but were afraid of it being accessed 
by someone else if lost, Maxinote takes care of that too.
  Text can be saved in either plain or secure 
(encrypted) form should you wish to store sensitive information such as passwords, PIN numbers, 
credit card details, etc.

Secure notes are encoded using Bruce Schneier's (up to 448-bit) Blowfish encryption algorithm.
(For a simplified explanation of 448-bit encryption ..read here.)

  
 


Friendly & Flexibility

To further optimise your texting experience Maxinote can be customised to best suit your needs.
You can even hide the Maxinote keypad if desired and use your mobile phone's standard input methods 
(multi-tap or predictive text) whilst taking advantage of the other available features.

      

Each menu option is described in the Maxinote help section.
(See Options->Misc->Help in the main menu).
