MS Word gains new functions 7/27/2016

Thanks Bill. I'll be interested in particular in the new functionality of the Editor feature. I imagine that MS has seen the development of new apps and services like Hemingway and ProWritingAid, and...

Pigeonhole 7/15/2016

Many thanks for the recommendation, Bill.

Evernote raises prices 7/9/2016

I'm pleased it works, Paul. Here's another wheeze that I've come across - this time from the people behind cloudhq. Instead of providing a way out of Evernote, it provides a work-around for the new l...

Evernote raises prices 7/7/2016

P.S. According to Brooks Duncan at DocumentSnap, searchable (i.e. OCR'd) PDFs are exported by ExportNote as searchable.

Evernote raises prices 7/7/2016

Today I learnt (credit DocumentSnap: http://www.documentsnap.com/pdo-spuhq/) of an application called ExportNote that promises to do what its name says, for the PC and Mac. Its website states: "Export...

Evernote raises prices 7/2/2016

Evernote Premium currently costs £44.99 p.a. in the UK (possibly more when the consequences of our very recent upheavals work their way through!). I imagine that's what you get for your $70 in th...

ZoomNotesX 7/1/2016

Flying Logic 3 (http://flyinglogic.com). Not an exact analogue of the applications described above and without a traditional outliner equivalent, but a way of graphically expressing zoomable relations...

Evernote raises prices 6/30/2016

I probably ought to add that my experience only applies to the Mac. I believe that Microsoft have released an Evernote importer for OneNote for Windows, but none yet for OneNote for macOS (although o...

Evernote raises prices 6/29/2016

I'd infer that the announcement implies that the internal economics of Evernote continue to be stressed, despite the corrective actions taken in the last few months. Hitherto, despite (to my mind) the...

Scrivener for iOS in July 2016? 6/27/2016

To judge from a blog post Keith has released today, the initial reaction of beta-testers has been very favourable: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/blog/ My own lips are of course firmly sealed. ;)

Scrivener for iOS in July 2016? 6/22/2016

Yes, it's accurate. Here's the tail-piece from the round-robin about the Summer-Fest 2016 sale of software that Keith B, the Scrivener developer, sent out out a couple of days ago: 'We’re mak...

Is subscription software a good thing or not? 6/10/2016

I tend to agree with the views that Mac blogger David Sparks expresses here: http://macsparky.com/blog/2016/6/on-subscription-fatigue

Best program for lecture notes 6/9/2016

In support of the posts by Donovan and others above, I too recommend pencil and paper as a first resort. My reasoning is based on two things: my own experience using pencil and paper for note-taking a...

Interview -- the future of Evernote 5/5/2016

Well put.

Southbeach Modeller vs TheBrain 3/30/2016

I agree with moritz's post. Southbeach Modeller looks most impressive (ignoring its name). On the Mac, of course I can't use it (without the fuss of, say, Parallels, which I'm reluctant to return to)....

The Hindenberg-Hitler Contingency 3/21/2016

Hmm. I take an opposite view to most of those expressed above. Yes, I would be very deeply concerned about a regime change in my country that brought authoritarians to power, but I have other means ...

List of ALL the info-managers with SEARCH FOLDERS 3/11/2016

I can't seem to find Things (https://culturedcode.com), which I think belongs under 2.2. The Taskfabric family of applications (http://taskfabric.com, for OSX, iOS, Android, Windows and Web) probably ...

The Most Dangerous Writing App 3/2/2016

Interesting. The book cited in the comment to Manfred's post - "The Psychology of Writing" by Ronald Kellogg - also looks as if it may be worth reading (in Kindle form!), although possibly overtaken b...

Austhink - switch and bait. 3/1/2016

Yes, I like Flying Logic. I've used it for plotting stories (an idea I borrowed). One plot, when printed, was about four feet long, a long way from "evidence-based planning" or "effects-based analysis...

An alternative to Circus Ponies Notebook 2/15/2016

It would help to know a bit more about the purposes for which the OP found Circus Ponies useful, and alongside them, the particular functionalities of CP which appealed to him. In the absence of that...
