Perhaps it's because the iPad lends itself so perfectly to note-taking, but it seems like all of the really great note-taking apps are being developed for iOS. So when I heard from developer Nadim Kobeissi about the Bluenote (US$5.99) app for Mac, I asked if I could test it for TUAW. Bluenote is quite an interesting app, not only taking and securing notes, but providing a task list and a place to lock away passwords and other secret stuff. It performs all of these functions through a simple and minimalist user interface, which unsurprisingly features shades of the color blue.
The first thing that happens once you launch Bluenote is that you're asked for a password. This password is used to encrypt your data, so the app checks the length and complexity of your password
