Evernote2 replacement
8/2/2010
I suspect that from the moment Evernote's developers raised significant amounts in the money markets, their company became a different kind of beast with different kinds of priorities from the mostly ...

Correction: Shovebox doesn't do tags or keywords; it has filing rules instead, which I use in a tag-like manner. But Notational Velocity, which has the added advantage of synching with Simplenote, cer...

Several for the Mac (can't help with Windows): Yep 2, Leap 2, Eaglefiler, Together 2, and DevonThink Pro, plus some smaller applications such as the useful Shovebox and Notational Velocity, off the to...

Eastgate has just released Version 1.0 of a new notes application called Twig: http://www.eastgate.com/Twig/. "Twig is a powerful yet lightweight tool for capturing and cultivating your ideas."

You may find this thread on the Literature and Latte forum interesting, especially druid's comments:

So, what do you folks do?

I am a hack - initially in newspapers, then television, then in management consultancy and management, and latterly in books. Two or three years ago I more or less abandoned the PC for the Mac, having...
Thank you Chris. Very interesting.
I downloaded it, and so far, so stable (though there was a moment of puzzling inactivity before I realised I hadn't ticked the box for 32-bit operation). Message to...
I'm another of those Mac converts who have more or less given up using their Windows machines. Fortunately I'm no longer required to use the platform for work.
What do I miss? Zoot, and possibly Ultr...
DevonThink alternative?
3/18/2010
I should have added that I don't know of any such cross-platform tools.
Another solution of course would be a multi-user database on a server accessible from different platforms.
That is of course ...
DevonThink alternative?
3/18/2010
That would depend on what aspects of DevonThink's functionality you are looking for elsewhere.
The attributes that make it stand out in the Mac world as an information manager are twofold in my opini...

OneNote: handwriting recognition of maths equations would be extremely useful to scientists, teachers and students of maths (if it is what I understand it to be). I have friends and relations in the f...
News on TAO (Mac)

Thanks Steve!
I hope that in NeO the developer retains all the fine features of TAO, whilst making the interface more user-friendly.

What a good Outliner should have

I'm with Cassius on the difference between an outliner and a PIM. It's always seemed to me that, strictly speaking, an outliner is mainly used for outlining a structure before writing, and a PIM is ma...
I think Scrivener (Mac) can do what you want (but many other things, which you may not need, as well): http://www.literatureandlatte.com/ Have a look at some of the screenshots in this thread: http://...

Here's a head above the parapet:

Someone on the Scrivener forum - it might have been you Franz, or possibly AmberV, I can't remember - wrote that it is more of a consumer's toy than a producer's tool. That description makes sense to ...

Thinking about workflows

There are at least three ways of doing this (apart from flying by the seat of your pants).
One is to use an outliner with columns (or an Excel or Numbers spreadsheet) to create your writing outline, ...

Hi Edwin
For project planning I use a piece of project-management software called Merlin which is overkill for my current needs, but which I acquired for completely different purposes. For me, projec...
