I am a bit of a list freak, and I use my list making application, GlueyNotes, all day (it makes your lists available on iPhones / iPod Touches / Android Phones). The only problem I have with it at the moment is it currently only runs in the browser.

The main problem with using it in the browser is I can’t Command+tab to the application to jot down or check off items. I also frequently Command+h (hide) applications, and if it’s in the browser all browser instances hide.

As a quick and dirty fix, I put this lite application together that will give you a GlueyNotes instance on your desktop that you can use as a regular application. It is basically just a web kit wrapper application, but it does the job well enough.

It’s lite because there are some real APIs and web services in place for GlueyNotes (and for the most part working), but I haven’t had time to write a real application that use the APIs - this quick hack works well in the meantime though.

It looks like this:

Glueynoteslite

If you’re using GlueyNotes on Mac, you can download the application here (I’ll slap together a windows and / or linux version if someone wants it).

    Love glueynotes, this is exactly what i have been looking for. And I mean really looking.

    is there a possibility to have a an iGoogle gadget or dashboard widget on the way? Something that would display the list exactly as it is shown on the iPhone, with an ‘add’ button at the bottom left.

    Thanks again, I love glueynotes on my phone!

    Hi Nathan,

    My wife wanted one for here iGoogle home page too - so if it’s not too hard, and I have a bit of time, I might put one together. Good call with the dashboard widget. I didn’t even think about that.

    Thanks for using GlueyNotes :)

    … although, thinking about the dashboard widget - couldn’t you just use a web clip? (if on leopard) Granted it wouldn’t be the iphone interface, but it should still work I think.

    I would be interested in a Windows version of lite for use at work and a Linux version for use with my eee PC. Thanks
