TreePad is a hierarchical database which stores articles in a hierarchical tree-like structure. It does this well. It comes with templates for storing information such as such things as book and music collections PIM, disk, Passwords and URL's Medium power wordrocessor and powerful export features into .html, .tpd, rtf files. Addons can do a mediocre job of .pdf and very useful, very professional .exe files. I find this program very useful and regret not updating to the enterprise edition while I was still able. It still maintains its functionality. It is still my main program of data storage with a functional search engine. Recommended.

I have used almost all versions of this program, starting with Treepad Lite, up to Treepad Enterprise. I stepped down from Enterprise to Business (TPB), as that was good enough for me. Enterprise was a bit overkill.
I use TPB as a logging tool for my job, and also for note taking. It’s a intuitive and simple tool, but I have to admit that I’m biased, as I use it since the 1990’s and have gotten accustomed to quirks if they exist.
I love that you don’t have to install it, so I use it as a ‘portable’ app on Dropbox. That way I don’t have to worry about backups. I still backup the Dropbox directory to my HDD though…
The fact that I’m not sure whether TPB will function under Windows 11 (I haven’t tested it yet, as I’m still on Win10), makes me look around for an alternative. Until now the apps/programs I looked at are fine, but overloaded with features.
I like simple and robust programs, like Simplenote, Treepad and Notetab (also extinct). But I like interoperability between OS’s also (Windows and IOS). So the search continues, while still using the big three (for me).

Harry, I use TreePad Business the same way you do. Portable app out of DropBox. It still works great on Windows 11. I have looked at pretty much every alternative, but still nothing compares with the feature set and options available in TreePad. I also use the eBookCreator to create a standalone executable of my database with my colleagues so they have an easy to use and easy to search copy of my notes.

Created by a former colleague and friend of mine Henk Hagedoorn. The software enables the user to organize a lot of data in an efficient way.

Henk passed away a few year ago. Thank you Henk for working with me and the fun we had in Amsterdam at the company we both worked at.

Thieu,
I have been using Treepad Lite daily since some 14 years for keeping all kinds of info with great enthousiasm. Unfortunately, two weeks ago my file turned into a 0 bytes file. If I cannot recuperate the file I will loose at least 3 years input of my most personal data. The file is on a 1 tb ssd. Most likely the file got corrupted when - having the file open - my computer lost power. Chkdsk /f /r did not show any bad sectors, hence it did not produce a 'found.000' as I had hoped. I've not lost all hope yet to find data recovery software which can do the job. Otherwise I understand from internet sources that using hex edit software would be my last option. Have you got any ideas? I hope to hear from you. Kind regards! (I read and write English and Dutch)

hjt-turned-0-bytes,

I'm sorry I cannot help you. TreePad was a product of Henk's own company. We worked together at another company.
