Thanks Bill. How do you find this stuff? I am amazed. :)
I already have iaWriter and will take a good look at it now by using it more than the few times I did in the past.
Lattics seems to be actually what I am after. I downloaded it from the macOS App Store but Lattics crashes immediately on launching it. I found an email for support on a webpage for a different application and got an almost instant reply. A very good sign of the support from the developers. I will post my initial thoughts on Lattics once I have it up and working.
Thanks again for your wonderful suggestions! :)
Cheers! :)

Heh, thanks, Darren – I’m just a sad, sad Ultra-CRIMPer, fascinated by the whole issue of efficient knowledge management.
Means my own knowledge/task management is a bit chaotic, unfortunately, as I struggle to find the “ideal” model (AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Having said which, I’ve found one of the great journaling apps, which I now use to keep close track of how I’m spending my time during the day (rather than using one of the hundreds of “timer” apps). It allows me to create instant date/time-stamped notes with (if necessary) extensive comments as I work my way through the day. It’s called Everlog, and is available for macOS and iOS (syncs via iCloud). It supports most markdown codes.
A much simpler/cheaper alternative that does much the same thing (with very basic but adequate support for markdown) is Timeline Journal (also on the Mac App Store); Everlog is rather more sophisticated, however (albeit subscription-based)

Darren, Lattics has just been updated in the Mac App Store with copious apologies for the crashing issue you described in your earlier post.
They come across as very responsive!
Cheers,
Bill

Just downloaded Lattics and noticed one bug immediately. I didn’t like the font and small size of the text so when I went to Settings > Appearance to change the font, the app balked at showing me my complete list of fonts, stopping mid-S with SignPainter. Granted I have nearly 400 fonts installed, but I’ve never seen any app that *could* show fonts fail to show all of them.
When reading the included text I saw that each section/card has its own font/size formatting and there seems to be no way to implement global or document-wide changes.
Overall the app is attractive and pretty speedy, and less clunky in moving to different sections than Agenda, which I’d recently purchased and am playing with.
I’ll probably delete it soon simply because I need my notes/PIM apps to be cross-platform with iOS, but it’s arrived with a strong start for a Mac/Windows app.
