Interesting. Thanks, satis.
It's seldom that I disagree with Bill's views, but this is one occasion, at least to some extent.
Two or three months ago when Bill (I think) signalled that a significant upgrade of Pagico was avail...
Personally, I prefer a "separation of functions", that, say, OmniFocus allows, with dragging and dropping of tasks, into, say Fantastical. That way you can use a top-notch task manager alongside a top...
Thanks for the update, Bill.
Folding Text 3 -- on the horizon?
5/16/2018
And yet, and yet... As a licence-holder of Jesse's Mori (which worked very well in my experience) ten or eleven years ago, one of my first Mac applications, I hope very much that Folding Text 3 works ...

Re Dr Andus' post about subscriptions above: various applications exist that can help to track subscriptions - for example Dues (http://alexdenk.eu/mywork/dues.html). My experience is with macOS and i...

Thanks for this news, Alexander.
Smart Pen system (a bit OT)

Maybe I should add that I've absolutely no connection with MyScript - other than occasionally buying licences to their products!

Smart Pen system (a bit OT)
4/27/2018
The Equil system (https://www.myequil.com/home/) is a relatively recent (and stylish) entrant to the paper-and-pen-to-digital market, and still available. It worked for me as a means of getting my han...
Smart Pen system (a bit OT)

I've never before heard of a Canson Papershow pen, although I've used various others, including the Livescribe and the Staedtler, that work in what sounds like a similar way (and others that use a cli...

Yes, I agree. At first sight it looks expensive by the standards of some other desktop tools. But it has such a breadth of features that it can if required replace or supplement several other applicat...

There is a whole series of improvements to both the macOS and iOS editions. This suggests to me the good news that VoodooPad is once again being actively developed.

Vertical vs horizontal organizers

Any space for a "diagonal" organiser, using the best of both styles at different times? Or better still, a "dialoguing" organiser, where each style of organisation is used to "interrogate" the topic a...
I think one can become CRIMP-ish about many things. For me, it was once about fishing flies. I used to make some of them myself, but even then I couldn't ever quite find the one design that satisfied ...
best outliner you use? (2018)
4/11/2018
Like Steve Z., I think that the best outliner that I have current experience of is Tinderbox. It is, of course, only for the Mac and its learning curve is legendary. But its capabilities are extraordi...

Have just noticed - belatedly - that Steve Z. has written a helpful and generally positive review of the application here: https://welcometosherwood.wordpress.com
At least recently, I haven't used any Windows tablets, but otherwise I think I agree with all you've written above, Pierre.
