I’m pretty sure it’s now called Keep It https://reinventedsoftware.com/keepit/

Graceless indeed. He certainly burnt his bridges as a vendor.

No worse than many I have seen. Even to closing the forum and website apart from the bits leading to the buy button which usually seemed still to work when everything else has gone.

Stephen, was there an app similar to the Circus Ponies notebook for Windows and/or Mac? It seems to me that there was, but I can’t remember its name. Thanks.

There was (and still is) an app called NoteTaker that was contemporaneous with Circus Ponies. I’m not sure which came first, but NoteTaker 4 is still around on macOS.

Then there’s Growly Notes, which was also contemporaneous to Circus Ponies and like it and NoteTaker uses a notebook metaphor.
