Golden Section Notes (also known as GS Notes, TGS Organizer, or WinOrganizer) was developed by TGS Labs, a Russian software company known for its ultra-lightweight and versatile personal information managers. GS Notes offered a unique blend of functionality and performance, supporting features like tree-based note organization, embedded images, rich text formatting, and even tables—all in an incredibly compact application. Unlike bloated modern alternatives like Evernote, CherryTree, or OneNote, GS Notes runs smoothly even on legacy hardware such as a Pentium M laptop, making it one of the fastest and lightest note applications ever released.
The software is notably compatible with a wide range of Windows versions, starting as early as Windows 95 and NT 4.0, and still functioning seamlessly on modern Windows 10 and 11 systems. Despite its loyal niche following, TGS Labs quietly faded from the scene, and the software became increasingly difficult to find. Before closing operations, however, the developers generously released serial numbers to the public, allowing users to activate the full version freely. Today, GS Notes stands as a hidden gem for those seeking an efficient, no-frills note-taking solution that doesn’t bog down even the oldest machines.
