I use Jira, however I don't think it couldn't be better. All my notes go into the backlog, as a subtask or as a comment. Every time I feel that I'm done with what I was working on, I return to the task, and read it again, making sure that my change was actually what the task was. So my notes are there, eg. if a flash message is red not green, I won't stop and fix it, I add it to the task as a subtask and continue with the current work. I use notebook (pen and paper) if I have to work out logic. If it's math, I use notebook, if it's flow, I use whiteboard and take a picture.
That's a good point about adding subtasks. I definitely need to get better about that, since it's so easy to start fixing a bunch of small things that I come across
