I used Notational Velocity but I switched a couple of years ago to one of its forks: nvALT:

Which adds a lot of very useful features, I can heavily recommend it.

I use NValt as well, but I held out for a while because I thought a new, possibly commercial, version might be on the horizon from the original developer, Zachary Schneirov. This was based on the following interview with him, which, BTW, offers some interesting background on NV.

Edit: As an aside, this is an interesting comment from the above (2011) interview:

> Now the first company to sell a mass-market wearable computer with a glasses-mounted display would get my money in an instant.

dumb Q: is this for apple OS only?

Yes, but it stores the actual notes as txt files in a directory so you can use other software alongside it in a multi platform environment.

Thanks, so is there a windows equivalent?

Closest equivalent I've found and use is ResophNotes (http://resoph.com/). Works well with nvALT.
