Curio for macOS has a significant new release out today, with some very interesting new features.
https://www.zengobi.com/curio/#whatsnew
The big deal is that Curio now can incorporate markdown (a basic version) in any “figure” on the canvas—text, lists, mind maps, and so on. A Curio document or page can be exported as a markdown document or the markdown interpreted for export to PDF, RTF, etc.
Zengobi is always generous about trial periods.
I’ve been working with Curio 12 throughout the beta period and find it very stable.

Sorry, the name of this thread got truncated—should be “Curio 12 is released”

Thanks, Paul. I was wondering if a new version was due. The markdown is a nice addition. Also the OmniOutliner and TaskPaper import/export (haven’t tried either of those yet, but if they work, that would be handy).

A TaskPaper document with the @tags that Curio 12 supports (see the documentation) when pasted to Curio will create Events or ToDos in Curio. If you configure a project file (document) to sync from Curio to calendars, then those items show up in the designated event or reminder calendar, respectively.
George has built up Curio to be a very useful application for planning with the calendar sync, status shelf, and other features. I rely heavily on it.

Yes, I agree. At first sight it looks expensive by the standards of some other desktop tools. But it has such a breadth of features that it can if required replace or supplement several other applications in one’s digital toolbox (in a way like a physical whiteboard, its closest real-world equivalent).
