NVIVO vs Devonthink
7/4/2017
This is a broad and brief answer. In particular, I have not used NVIVO, merely read about it. NVIVO appears to be primarily a tool for analysing qualitative data; I do not know what methods it uses to...
I suppose the question that the Day One case raises in my mind is this: is there a more generalised crisis in the micro-economics of running macOS/iOS developers, or do the developers seeking to switc...
Day One gives itself a "Premium" service
6/29/2017
Aargh! Ran an update of some of my applications, including Day One, then read this. Even if I can untangle my data, not a way to run a railroad!
Thanks for this - a useful review.

Airstory - Appsumo deal
6/27/2017
I spent several years engaged in team-writing on various projects, against the clock. My experience, confirmed by others I've spoken to who've worked in similar ways, is that whatever the technology u...

It is good, and it is relatively highly priced (although you don't have to buy each upgrade as it comes out). It is hugely more ve...
Oh, and if Daymap ever allows hourly scheduling, it will also need to allow the sync-ing of "hard landscape" commitments with Apple's Calendar. Just as GTD says that you can't have more than one trust...
Yes, I've tried it. Did I find it useful? Yes, and no. I very much like the principle that Daymap uses of planning tasks in a task manager, and then transferring them to a calendar. I find such a sche...
Thanks for this, Bill. (I learnt of this app a few weeks ago, I'm not sure how, and then forgot about it. Your post has given me the chance for a re-evaluation. Also intrigued by your "turbulent relat...

The first citation was of course three years ago!

Things 3 is released
5/22/2017
For me, I suppose the other big issue hitherto with Things has been "hinterland", or "ecology". One or two other task managers, at least on the Mac, are surrounded by groupings of scripts and associat...

Things 3 is released
5/20/2017
From what I can see without downloading the app, Things 3 has start-dates as well as due-dates. For those of us whose tasks tend to last longer than an hour or two, start-dates are pretty much essenti...

Just what is an outliner?

@Paul Korm. I'd like to echo those who have both praised Paul and requested that he reconsider his decision to withdraw from this forum. I'm one of the - I'm certain - many who have learnt from him. A...
Just what is an outliner?
5/7/2017
For what it's worth, my own (completely un-academic) definition of an outliner involves purpose: it is a device designed to produce an outline. And what is an outline? It seems to me that an outline i...
I do quite like Curiota (although, thanks to other commitments, I've held back from exploring the latest version of Curio and so my usage of Curiota has been limited). I tried Unclutter - I didn't fin...
I have tried many. My current choice, which I am just starting to explore, is the note-taking feature of the Sorter of DevonThink Pro Office, with the Notes database sync'd to DevonThink To Go.
Many thanks for this.
One point about OmniOutliner is that the most glaring omission (in my view) from its arsenal of tools is clones.
Trying it. Many thanks for the flag, Steve.
