Long ago I used to keep addresses, phone numbers and other personal information in old Windows 3.1 Cardfile, which I missed in Microsoft Windows 95. The alternatives (MS Scheduler, MS Outlook) were either too complex or inconvenient to use. I just needed a simple, small notebook with the ability to locate an item quickly. Specifically, I wanted something that consisted of empty cards - without any predefined fields (street addresses, zip, state, phone, fax, etc.).

Instead of using the old MS Cardfile, I decided to make such application myself. It now helps me to manage phone numbers and addresses, and more. This small application is equally suitable for use as a small "database" for references, notes, recipes... or anything else you want quick access to.

This screenshot shows the example file that comes with azzCardfile. Click on the image to see a larger view More screenshots...

An idea of azzCardfile is simple paper cardfile or rolodex: pile of empty cards. No any fields. You have empty "paper" sheet when you start new card. This approach has advantage: you can keep everything in one file (cardfile "box"): addresses, notes, etc.

It is not convenient to keep your addresses and recipes in the same traditional database table.

Other advantage is fast card finding: just type any fragment of card title in the filter box. Therefore, azzCardfile helps me, as disordered person, to keep all things in one heap, but easy find what I need.
