Try TheBrain 9. It has been completely rewritten. The versions you tried before were all Java-based. They’ve abandoned Java and have written native applications for Mac and Windows. I use TheBrain 9 on both systems and it works very well, and the sync has been vastly improved. If you like the idea of TheBrain, you should give the new version a run. Although I also endorse Chris’s recommendation of ConnectedText.
