Agenda has just gotten a major update. You can see a video about these updates here:
- bi-directional linking
- slash commands (actually back slash)
- auto completion
I wish they had a Windows or web version, so I could use this fine note-taking app.

Indeed Stephen, Agenda has just been updated to version 14. In addition to the improvements you mention, it is also worth mentioning these new aspects:
- Possibility to export notes (projects or categories) to textbundle format: for me a great improvement, since it allows to make comfortable backups that include attachments and that can be read in applications like DevonThink.
- Great improvement for tag management: autocomplete, list, change of colors, etc.
- Filtering of projects in the sidebar based on different time criteria.
- And many minor improvements that speed up the use of the application.
It should also be noted that the database has been changed, and gives the feeling of an improvement in the overall speed of Agenda.
I would also like to say, that I have been using the application for over a year now as a substitute for Evernote for my live and day-to-day projects, and my appreciation is that Agenda gets better with each iteration. In addition, I think its payment model is one of the most honest that we can find today.
Stephen, your articles in your blog “Welcome to Sherwood”, helped me to get introduced to the use of Agenda, which I want to thank you for.
As for the possibility that it could be available for Windows or on the web, I think it is very unlikely, because the development is done by a small Dutch company very committed to the development model associated with Apple.
Best regards.

Interesting to hear.
My biggest question remains, however: does Agenda allow you to work in multiple windows?
And the short answer is still: no.
I’ve just been experimenting with another interesting app that uses a single-window workspace, Lattics – a knowledge-management app. Its strengths over Agenda: it has multiple panes, including a “cards” pane (cards can be any size you like, and you can embed them in your main notes as footnotes, body copy or references), and it lets you divide the main note pane into two (either horizontally or vertically) and then display either different parts of the same note in each half-pane, or two separate notes.
It’s also a very elegant app (although I notice that the export options don’t include footnotes, despite a checkbox option promising to do so). More on https://lattics.zineapi.com
Sadly, it’s macOS only for the time being.
Cheers!

It is clear that, for the moment, Agenda is not for you ;-)

Bill,
Thanks for the reference to Lattics. Very interesting looking app. While I get your objection to Agenda, to my mind Lattics is a very different animal. I want to use Agenda for managing projects. Whereas, Lattics looks like it would be an excellent way to craft long-form articles or even books.
The appeal of Agenda for me is, to some extent, its limitations. I won’t be tempted to try to stash all my notes in it. It is the perfect way to track and record healthcare, for instance. And for planning a vacation. Even the fact that it is Apple-only is an advantage for me, since I won’t be tempted to combine my work (which is Windows-PC based) with my personal.
(In the middle of writing this response, I decided I had to download and try Lattics. CRIMP in action.)
