True. And there’s no clipper either.
There are many ways I like Lattics, but it’s a very enclosed app. Importing is quite limited and so is exporting. Backup is in the form of a json.
It’s project based. With each project working like a single markdown file. The mind map is effectively an outline of the file. Which is all okay, but it’s relationship with files is entirely import/export which means no easy interoperable working with other programs.
I find that too much of a commitment and risk; I’d prefer to be able to switch in and out by increments. There’s still quite a few usability niggles, though the keyboard response I reported previously seems to have improved.

I found that I could do a markdown export on the free version, when I tried it today. And the writing statistics were there.

I#ll just add that the whole structure seems remarkably similar to Writemonkey3 with cards = repository. Entirely different UI oc
And WM3 has the ability to work with external files by keeping them in sync with its json database.

Just a heads up, I confirmed with the Lattics developer that iCloud sync support is planned from next month (February 2025). Currently, OneDrive, WebDAV, and Jianguoyun are the other sync services offered.

I’ve been surprised at how fast the updates are coming. Recently it’s felt as if it’s more than one a week, on average. Though I don’t know where they keep a change log.
I started to use it seriously because it works so well for writing, and have gradually moved nearly all my note-taking to it. And old notes as and when they are needed.

I have noticed the speed of updates that often include new features.
There was an update waiting for me even today.
As I mentioned previously, when I am able to sync Lattics between my office iMac and my MacBook Air, I will put this app to the real test.
Will it be able to replace Scrivener and (possibly Obsidian)? How will the learning curve be? How good are the online learning materials (especially video)? How will the output confirm to the fussy requirements of the journals I publish in? How well does it integrate with reference managers? These are some of the questions I will search answers for. I have a window of just over a month when I can concentrate on writing, so I appreciate all the updates at the moment. Keep them coming! :)
