This is a big release for Bitespire, long awaited by its enthusiasts. I upgraded from v2 tonight, loaded my database and started to familiarize myself with the UI changes.
It’s quite stable, it runs better for me on Windows 10 than v2. Security and privacy are points of pride with the founder/director of this software. I’ll update this post with a link to all the changes when it becomes available.
It’s really something to see, if you’re interested in PIMs. It features a calendar, planner, contacts, tasks, notes, bookmarks, email, documents, etc., allowing for linking of any record to any other number of records in the program, and linked records can also be created as you work.
Related links are shown in the information panel of both or all records (probably ‘bidirectional’ linking as seen in other discussions, but with a different lfeel). I’ve always been a big fan of Bitespire. I believe this is as close to perfect I could ever get, for my needs. I’m struggling to give him some time before emailing him with questions. I’ll read all of the documentation, first.
I’ve been using this software off and on since it was DoOrganizer, around 2005, which came after TexNotes and before Harmony PIM. After that, it became DoogiePIM.
I can’t say enough about it, it would take me all night to get into more detail and I still wouldn’t be able to do it justice. I will say that it helps me significantly in my daily life. I appreciate the structure and the effort that’s gone into it - it’s beautifully refined and runs very nicely on my laptop. Fast and very smooth.

One of the worst websites that I’ve experienced. For a product which claims to include a browser, that’s not too encouraging.

Not sure I see the correlation there.

Thanks for the heads up. I have one question whose answer I wasn’t able to find on the website, at least from a quick perusal: is it possible to keep DoogiePIM’s database files in a Dropbox (or similar service’s) folder which would allow me to browse and update the information from various computers?

Alexander,
This is the best answer I could find, below, which tells you some plans about v3 sync, but that was written in January. A lot can change in 7 months (and an updated post is expected), but while waiting, there’s this, taken from the link just below it.
Sync with Cloud Services
You are able to Import or Export to various services but there is no constant connection with any external cloud. This is by design and supports the ethos of doogiePIM. However, background services in doogiePIM has been set up to accommodate local syncing between multiple PCs or PCs and a SmartPhone (Android or iOS) over a LAN (Local Area Network) using your router. This area will be in constant development to improve sync between your devices quickly without using any Cloud features.

I found this post from before version 3 was released.
