Well, that’s amusing. Just when you thought it was dead… ThinkBook (for iOS) is back! The weird and wonderful text editor that many of us enjoyed but few knew what to do with has been revamped and reborn.

It’s now a ‘universal’ app (meaning it runs on iPhone and iPad…). Quite nice. Not quite sure about it yet, but… quite nice.

And some amusing in-app purchases, too.

I too was intrigued when this update came out of the blue. I wrote a short blog piece about it for anyone interested:

I’ve been fond of ThinkBook since I first encountered it. The slider mechanism is very handy and a smart way to do things on a handheld device like an iPad or iPhone. It’s also a pretty decent outliner in its own right. I just wish it had a little more integration with other apps—such as syncing todos with Apple’s Reminders.

Nice review. And yes, I’d agree with you - if ThinkBook had a MacOS client, it would be one of my fave info managers, too. It’s got some very elegant features (notably its ability to pick up tagged todos and show them in a separate list). As it is, it remains a somewhat quirky sideline. But signs of movement are very encouraging!
