Abstract
A notes organizer program is provided that allows a user to organize notes on a limited resource computing device. The notes are organized by associating a note, if desired, with a project. The user can name or rename a note or a project. If the user does not specify a note name, the notes organizer program determines the note name based on the associated project. If there is no associated project, the note name is based on the type of note (e.g., voice, handwritten, etc.). A template project is provided for creating notes from templates.
