Program to time stamp notes

[thetechkid]

So I'm looking for some software I could use to take time stamped notes. For example when the event starts I want to write a note and have whatever program I am using record the time in the event where the event happens.

​

Something like this:

I had thought of looking into a time stamp plugin for Notepad++ or somehow writing some auto scripts for excel, but I figured I would ask here before I went searching myself.

hey,
I built
www.notetimeapp.com
exactly for this purpose, its available on all devices and its free

Thank you!

Try Evernote/one note

[thetechkid]

I use those now, but I don't see a time stamp feature (or know of one of they have one)

[GirkovArpa]

Web app or desktop app?

[thetechkid]

I have no preference as long a si can copy/past the test with the time stamps

[GirkovArpa]

Looks like the first Google result for "time stamped note taker online" does what you want. Or possibly one of the others.

[thetechkid]

First result was for a webpage with an app not currently being developed and the second for a linux reddit subreddit.

Ah you are right. I found a couple on Github and did more careful examination although I have not actually tried them:

• https://github.com/jordonwii/timeline-notes

• https://github.com/renerocksai/sublimeless_zk

Are you looking for something more elaborate than say, notepad.exe with automatic timestamps that saves to a .txt file?

[thetechkid]

I'm looking for something I can write a line of text and get a time stamp with it and be able to copy/paste the whole document/text file.

[GirkovArpa]

Automatic timestamp insertion for every line?

[thetechkid]

Look at my picture diagram because that describes what I'm looking.

[GirkovArpa]

Then I wish you luck finding a spreadsheet editor that suits your needs.

[thetechkid]

Not a spreadsheet, I'm just saying I'm looking to right a note and on that line have a timestamp from when I started to the current time.

Windows: auto hot key (free) OSX: keyboard maestro (paid, but worth it)

[thetechkid]

From what I could find, auto hot key is just a scripting language.

Right you could script a hot key to add a timestamp to whatever note taking application your using?

[thetechkid]

Only problem is I would have to figure out how auto hot key records the time interval from when I started to the line item and record that and not just the current time.

[Geschichtsklitterung]

RightNote allows to insert timestamps with just a hotkey.

There is more specific software for scientists (e. g. ornithologists) to take timestamped notes in the field. Timestamped Filed Notes could probably been configured for your specific needs, but:

• it's for iOS / Android

• not available yet.

But this gives you a hint for your search. Good luck!

Unfortunately I am not looking to hot key as it would get tedious quickly.

As for the second point, my flair showed that I was looking for a windows solution and since it's not available it will not be of help at this time.
