Yes, it’s a cogent reminder of just how important it is to handle any kind of systemic change with grace, diplomacy and extreme sensitivity to your users’ anxieties. DayOne has not, alas, delivered a shining example of any of those qualities.
Shame. Ah well, a CRIMPer’s life is never dull…
So Pierre, when are you going to produce a version of InfoQube for Mac? Just asking!
Cheers,
Bill

I forgot to mention a good thing about Alfons Schmid’s Notebooks is that all documents are store in plain site in the filesystem, inside an unencoded folder hierarchy in whatever format the document was when it imported or created—.docx, .pdf, .rtf, .html, .md and so on. There is absolutely NO data lock-in. I think this is a major pro in Notebooks favor. DEVONthink also stores docs in their native format.
After migrating all my Day One journals to Bear I realized it is no simple matter to get documents out of Bear that contain text and images. Bear knows nothing about .rtfd. The best bet is to export from Bear to .textbundle or .pdf.
I’m now very wary about apps that stick my data into SQLite databases—such as Day One. Fool me once ... etc.

Sorry Bill, but I have plans for a macOS version of InfoQube but ...
- Did you know that it runs just fine on Parallels and VMware ?
- Also, some users got it going on Crossover with some issues which we could certainly iron-out if someone is keen on working with me on this

HTH !

I can vouch for that. InfoQube on a Windows 10 VM under Parallels is top notch.

David Sparks has a post on his Mac blog that is reasonably sympathetic to the principle behind Day One’s move, although it does not discuss the way it was done: https://www.macsparky.com/blog/2017/7/productivity-apps-and-subscription-pricing
