In our day to day lives we visit several websites to find resources. Often we might want to leave back some note on a web page, so that when we come back the next time we remember easily what we were trying to do or what issue we faced and where to pick up our stuff from. For example, you might be reading a tutorial or a setup instruction of a tool, and then you leave that activity for sometime. You come back after quite some time, and now you want to know where you had left, what was your progress and what issues you were facing, or may be a note you want to remind you self with. you can do this very easily with QuickCheat. With QuickCheat you can take different custom notes for different web page and then look them up whenever you go back to that page later
