Yes, yesterday I noticed that it was now free.
I still can't for the life of me see what earthly use it is though.

My dear chap, that's a bit harsh! When I was still a Windows user, TreeProjects was one of my favourite apps - it's a very powerful do-it-all notebook prog that is not entirely unlike UltraRecall, but much faster, tidier and slimmer. Being able to get one's paws on it for free is a genuine privilege. The developer is very amiable and in the early development stages, responded very quickly to user feedback. I used TreeProjects as a repository for all kinds of information; it was vastly superior to most other Windows notebook-style applications. If it was available on macOS/iOS, I would be using it still.

Not bad, a very capable tool chest. The necessary things for me:

- Does it have a word count option?
- What formats does it export to (mostly interested in text formats)?

I don't know, but that is an easy problem to solve with the Autohotkey script (using the MS Word counting method) in the last post in this thread:

The benefit of using Autohotkey is you will be able to count words in any application that allows you to select text (including PDF files).

Oops! More haste less speed. I do apologise. Quite the wrong comment about TreeProjects.
In my haste I had read it as "TreeSheets" - but in fact (having just now taken a good hard look) it would be unfair to say that about the current version of TreeSheets either, as I see that it is much improved. So please disregard my comment as having been made by mistake.

TreeProjects seems to be a superb database tool (similar to UltraRecall Pro). Pretty robust/reliable too, though I think I might have managed to break its "monitored folder" functionality by throwing a 2,6GB folder of software installers at it. Certainly slowed it down somewhat anyway.
Yes, very good news that it is now being generously offered FOC.

Very good point. A lot of people don't know that.
Another similarly very useful generic (any application) tool is the AutoHotkey Autocorrect script: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic8057.html
- that also enables on-the-fly hotkey creation/saving. Very useful.
