This is the new Microsoft notes app for Android
In Microsoft there are different departments focused on different projects. And it is that the technology company plays many different sticks. Some of them more experimental and with an eye on the future than others. This is the case of Microsoft Garage, where designers, engineers, musicians, inventors and all kinds of professionals from the company itself, but from different sectors.All this to give ideas and create more freely Something that has managed to produce different applications and tools. Some more useful than others. This is the case of Parchi, a new notes tool for the Android platform that breaks with seen so far.
But what is Microsoft launching a new notes application when it already has the full and useful OneNote? Are you interested in competing with yourself? The truth is, no. But keep in mind that Microsoft Garage is a creative place, and Parchi is not it is more than a simple test tool that is not yet distributed globally. Of course, it is curious and useful for all those users who need to take quick notes and simple . And it is that it allows you to do it even from the terminal's lock screen.
In this way, Parchi is presented as a digital option to the classic pen and paper that should always be on hand. Just install the app and you get a couple of new buttons on your lock screen So you can take a note instantly writing the idea in the usual way, or capturing a scene or moment with a photograph All without unlocking the terminal or having to search for the notes application.
Within the application, its visual design surprises, which organizes all the notes thanks to their colors, reminders, and types. Thus, Parchi allows you to create both normal notes, as well as notes with pictures, alarm notes (reminders) or even lists convenient to jot down any issue.Functions that are not entirely new, and that may not threaten other applications of this type.
What is surprising about this application is the use of tags or labels. Thus, next to the content of the notes, it is possible to add one or more tags such as purchase, idea, message or any other question. Thus, all you have to do is display the tags menu to quickly retrieve any of them, finding the associated notes without having to search through the entire collection.
Another point in favor of this application is the possibility of anchoring some of these notes to the lock screen Something you buy importance when making the purchase, or when you want to remember some issues is having to waste time looking for the note within the application.
Of course, at the moment Parchi has only been released for the Indian market. And, as we say, it is little more than a project created by Microsoft workers in their spare time. Something that could still grow and reach more users, although it could come into direct competition with Microsoft It is already available at Google Play Store for free, although no option to download it in Spain at the moment
