I suspect that there are a number of pieces of hardware and quite a few pieces of software that will support the use of handwriting. Personally, for hardware I like the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. But ...

A long time ago, I used Writer's Café. At the time, it was advanced and I liked it. I particularly liked its "swim-lane" feature (now picked up and developed further in Scrivener 3).

On the Mac, there are several word-counting apps. My favourite is WordCounter (https://github.com/DivineDominion/word-counter), another of Christian Tietze's creations (see also TheArchive: http://www...

That's not to deny that it is very basic, but I suspect that its developers would make a virtue of its simplicity.

I have a memory that this new application has a long and extensive intellectual parentage that has been the subject of discussion previously in this forum (to which its co-developer Christian contribu...
Yes, for me the combination of the big iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil excels for proof-reading PDFs (the reason I forked out a small fortune for it). So much better than lugging around bundles of hardc...

LexisNexis Notemap
2/26/2018
I used NoteMap in the days when (as far as I can remember) it was owned by its developer, before its acquisition by LexisNexis, purveyors of "legal solutions and products".
I liked it, and am sorry t...
Bill, I note the Ars Technica review of the reMarkable. (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/12/remarkable-tablet-review-the-high-price-of-getting-that-paper-feeling/)
I agree with other posters in this thread who have implied that there are a least two sides to arranging one's working life: first, collecting and prioritising a flexible list of tasks, and, second, s...
Anyone using IdeaMason?
2/8/2018
I used IdeaMason more than ten years ago. I liked it. I particularly liked the fact that it allowed relatively easy "chunking". I also liked its name; I've long believed that long-form writing is more...
OmniFocus 3 Roadmap - 2018
2/4/2018
Very interesting. Thank you, Paul. Aside from Omnifocus for the Web, the other aspect of the roadmap that I found particularly salient was the replacement of "contexts" by "tags" (with the stress on t...

Dark themes

Before Christmas, Scrivener developer Keith Blount commented on what full "dark mode" for the macOS version of Scrivener would require in terms of re-design:
"You're talking around 350 images that wo...
Pagico 8
1/30/2018
Agree about Omnifocus for iOS; neither elegant nor easy-to-use. I'd hoped that the clever people at Omnigroup would have improved its UI by now. Possibly the release of the new "darling" of the task m...
Pagico 8
1/30/2018
Thanks for this news, Bill.
Since almost the day Pagico launched, I've liked its "philosophy" - that is, its combination of textual task manager and Gantt-like time-charting (something those of us wh...

Thanks for this, Bill. It looks interesting. I already have an investment of time and cash in DevonThink Pro Office, and so am unlikely to change. But, on a casual overview, there appear to be aspects...

Yes, the subscription appears to be more like that of Tinderbox, with the difference that there's no initial payment.
I'm pleased to hear about the imminence of the iOS launch - for a note-taking app...
