A note taking application. I'm not kidding. I've never been happy with one. I don't need hackable like Gina Trapini's frankly amazing todo.txt. I don't need a huge platform like Evernote. I need something that is stream-of-consciousness. I post a small reminder to myself, and I can simply view this stream as a stream of my thoughts and reminders. It should be dead simple to note. It shouldn't ask for options, tags, or anything else. I should spend less than 3 seconds doing anything other than typing the note. I've never found any product which allows me to do this easily.

(P.S. My preferred platform is Android, but I'd love to see someone attempt this on anything!)

What about Notepad? What do you want that it doesn't do?

I'm being serious here, by the way. Double-click on your notes file to open. Hit <Enter> twice to start a new note. It has all the features you mentioned (except for the Android compatibility). Are there others you want?

Despite much fiddling with alternatives, this is still what I use. Since Windows 3.1, no less.

Portability is achieved with a notebook and pen.
