Excel is a wonderful programme. Too huge for some, yes, ungainly som...

iPad productivity 10 years later
1/30/2020
I like the iPad Pro. I too use a Brydge keyboard with it, and I use the Apple Pencil for annotating PDFs and for handwriting (which I then turn into text). I like the convenience of the Pro, its respo...
I'd be surprised and very sorry if OmniOutliner were frozen for good (but I think that the headline of this thread will not help its prospects).
My outsider's impression (and it is only an impression...
With reference to Listerene's post above, one thing to bear in mind is that installing one operating system (Windows, say) on top of another (macOS say) can be very demanding of a computer's resources...

2019 reflection question
1/4/2020
I should add - in answer to the question at the top of this thread - that based on this experience, tools such as these do work. I'm getting more done. But I ought also to add that there's a very obvi...
2019 reflection question
1/4/2020
Over the last twelve months, in an effort to get more done, I've been trialling anti-distraction software and, following David Sparks and others, "hyper-scheduling" (all on a Mac).
As far as anti-dis...

For what it's worth: I'm not confident that any of the three suggested applications will really be ideal for what you need. VoodoPad is essentially a wiki, and also, as I think you imply, perhaps less...

I'm thinking that Bill's post which kicked off this thread was something of a leg-pull. Perhaps the 'The" in the title is the giveaway.
Developers need working capital, if only to get started. Lenders and providers of capital - the bank, the man next door, Aunt Agatha - need predictability. As is so often said, they hate surprises. Co...
Causality 2.0: New Research Outliner Feature
10/21/2019
It remains interesting - but at $279 for a permanent licence, it's hugely expensive compared with Scrivener and similar tools.
PDF Expert is good, and I like it. But if you wish to OCR scanned documents and have no other means of doing so, PDFpen or PDFpen Pro from Smile Software will do most of what PDF Expert can do, though...

To me, what we're seeing here is the distinction between different categories of work, and the requirements they have for different types of digital tools. I suspect that the main distinction is betwe...

DEVONthink 3 officially released
9/12/2019
Thanks for the news, Paul. Thanks to your suggestion, I signed up to participate in the beta (what seems like) a long time ago, but I missed the launch announcement.
DT Pro 3 is a big, hairy program...

Demise of NoteMap
7/28/2019
It's true that in recent years it has been marketed as a tool for lawyers. But I've a memory - which may well be wrong - that it didn't start out that way. I've a feeling that it was only when the ori...

Write Mapper for Mac/Windows
7/27/2019
I'm in the middle of a WriteMapper 2 trial. So far, I like its UI and the features it offers.
However, it faces competition from established rivals such as MindNode and iThoughts whose macOS editions...

"Unbloat" - a word new to me, but one which promises to be useful (and which also led me to discover another word with potential: "debloat"). Thank you.
"Hook" app now on sale

Thanks, Paul. Although I downloaded a trial version, for some reason I didn't know that the full version had been launched.
I agree that the application needs a "library", or "list of meshes". Maybe ...
