Because its cross platform, I’m trying this program out again. I agree that the metadata is a serious limitation. I’m going to eventually email the developer and ask about this, among many other things.

However, regarding the ability to capture data, the program has a feature that (I think) is fairly unique. It actually indexes the URLs. So, for instance, if you capture a web page by creating a URL attachment, it actually goes out and indexes the page for search.

I agree that this is, indeed, off putting because you have to actually click on the node to see the contents of the page in a web browser. However, this is only a minor inconvenience as long as the data is available and searchable.

An interesting twist, I thought.

The bad news is that it doesn’t appear to index my gmail URLs. :(
