In a recent thread we discussed a curated listing of different "thinking" apps. Well this isn't that, but it is a list I've been keeping in Dynalist for a while. I have updated it and thought I'd share it should anyone find this sort of thing of interest:

https://dynalist.io/d/oMmWU-wQ-amcgVc-JCFwq86R

I know this is far, far from a comprehensive list and I've only included apps that are cloud-based or MacOS. I welcome suggestions for additions, but don't guarantee I'll get to adding them.

I think I accidently sent the wrong link in the previous post. This should get you access:

I really wish we could edit these posts, or delete them. I don't share Dynalist lists often enough to have it down. Anyway, as you can see the two links in the previous posts are the same, I just hadn't made it sharable, and now it is. Phew!

Steve

Thanks Steve !!!!

Excellent list Steve !

Small detail... list heading says Online Task/Notes but some entries are not online apps
(such as Tinderbox)

If you want to generalize and also include desktop apps, please consider adding my own InfoQube ;-)

Have a great day !

Hi, Pierre,

I explain in the little blurb at the top of the list that I did include some notable MacOS apps... It is pretty arbitrary, I admit. I definitely was excluding Windows only apps... not from any judgment about Windows apps, but because I was only focusing on those spheres when I started the list. Maybe I'll reconsider.

Thanks.

Steve

Thanks, Steve! Every time I see a list like this, it makes me wonder if we should develop something like a wiki where we could all contribute to it. There is a vast amount of knowledge in this forum on this subject and while I do not object to searching it, I can see the value of something more formal and flushed out. Then again, I can also see differences of opinion being an issue, and thinking that individual efforts may be the way to go and leave the discussions to the forum. But even it we did agree to work collaboratively, what platform would we select? ;) That decision alone could keep us going for months on end!

I can't recall if I've posted this information here before or not, I hope this is not too repetitive, if I have. There is a Discourse forum called "The Productivists" which covers similar topics as are discussed here. I think it is relatively new and still pretty small, but I've found many of the discussions there to be of interest to me. It's on my list of websites to visit frequently. There are several categories of topics, one is called "Apps". The first post or two under Apps are configured as a Wiki, which anyone who joins and participates (see the posts in that area for more details) can edit. They have started collecting the kind of information mentioned in this thread. It seems to be a welcoming group. They are providing this Wiki arrangement, and seem to be willing to explore other implementations, if there seems to be a hunger for such an effort. You can check it out here: https://www.theproductivists.club/t/all-apps-list-a-wiki-of-tools-in-the-pkm-and-productivity-space/152 .

They also have a Discord server, which I think is more established and has more members. I've not spent much time exploring it yet. I like the Discourse style of idea sharing. There is a discussion about that topic on the forum as well.

As you probably recall, I asked about where to go to find such information here, not too long ago, and was given some great pointers, it would make a good read if you're interested in this topic and have not already read that thread. I bookmarked them and hope to be able to make time to study them, if someone does not do the task before I get to it. I'm still working my way through trying to make sense of my bookmarks. I was messing with them, on my smart phone last night and I have 12,xxx+ bookmarks in Chrome. I've started bookmarking articles which the Google Assistant suggests, for me to read. Seems like every day, it recommends a couple dozen topics, which I'd really like to dig into deeply. If anyone has figured out a system to make, process and make sense of such bookmarks, I'd be interested to hear about it, especially if it's automated.

Steve, great effort, thanks for putting the list together.

If one of the reasons to make it public was to get feedback, I would suggest to add Logseq and perhaps Noteplan to it as both can be used for the purpose.

Thanks for the nudge on these two apps, Prion.
