Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update

Apologies - thanks to Paul Korm, rather than Bill, this time.
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/12/2015
Quiver looks good, feels good and sounds good, and many thanks to Bill for suggesting it... but I do have a problem with it, although not one of Quiver's own making. It's probably now the tenth or ele...

The little I know about iCloud Drive is that it broadens the functionality of iCloud. In particular, I have read - but this may be incorrect - that whereas files on iCloud can only be read by the appl...

I'm not sure whether to congratulate you or commiserate with you, Steve! Anyway, I very much hope that your experience is free of the problems that you reported with Mavericks a year or so back. Perso...
Acta and Opal
1/29/2015
Perhaps I should explain why I see Opal as "unexotic", Bill. Compared with Tinderbox, of course it is. But Tinderbox is sui generis. Compared with, say, OmniOutliner, Opal is somewhat simpler. But I s...

Organizing lots of thought snippets

I've probably evangelised SBJ methods in the past, and I don't apologise for that. His composing method of a few years ago - in my mind summarised as "First, develop your outline; second, drag careful...
Organizing lots of thought snippets

One other neat little Mac application that I've used in the past for this purpose is ShoveBox. Apparently it hasn't been updated in yonks, but it's still available on MacUpdate. I've just checked whet...

What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/19/2015
Yes, less a tool for notes, more a tool for thoughts. (Although I can see why Eastgate don't use a strapline like this: it sounds pompous and overblown, but in reality it isn't.)
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary

Reading the (quite short) summary Franz linked to, I think it doesn't duplicate what Steve Z. has written, and would definitely be useful to anyone who's considering whether to invest in the applicati...
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary

Thanks for the link, Franz. Although I use Tinderbox, I still find other users' summaries of it interesting to read (although the best for a beginner remains, in my view, the series on Steve Z.'s blog...

I used Todoist for a period, though never as a collaborative tool. Its greatest strength, in my view, is the wide diversity of platforms for which Todoist has apps or plug-ins, bridging the Android/Wi...
