WHAT IS ACHA?
(pronounced Ah-Sha, portuguese for 'find')

Acha was developed to provide lightning speed access to miscellaneous
information. One of the original uses for Acha was saving code snippets
and being able to recall them for later use in projects.

As Acha was used more, there was a natural tendency to start putting
other types of infomation in it. For example, the name and telephone
number of another person. Or the server name, login name, and password
of a network server a user needed once-in-a-while.

It turns out that Acha is great for entering and retrieving names of
people, telephone numbers, addresses, product serial numbers, product
information, pictures and sound (registered version only), and really
anything else that you'd like to recall at a later time.

Acha is a fast and easy to use tool that organizes all kinds of
information that can be instantly recalled.
