Database for MacOS
Yesterday
I have tried Panorama X in the past. It surely is a capable database, but overkill for my needs, especially at the cost. I will take a look at Fibery. Thanks, everyone.

Thanks everyone. I've tried Ninox before and didn't get along with it. I can print labels directly from Tap Forms, which is handy. I prefer to avoid the CSV export option, though if necessary, I can d...

Hi, all,
Not exactly an outlining question, but I want to find a new database app for use on my MacBook. I currently use TapForms, but I've got the Intel version, which will soon no longer run on m...

Nice review on your website, macosguru.
Roam Research -- Recent Experience?

There is also Checkvist, which has been around for 18 years. It's basically an outliner with several additional features, although I don't think it does graphs. It has been continually updated and is ...
Transclusion and concatenation are features of truly thoughtful writing environments, especially those that facilitate (and encourage) granular writing. That is, it is helpful to be able to break your...
Alfons Schmid's Notebooks
5/5/2026
The thread about iA Writer and Ulysses go me thinking of other markdown editors and brought up Notebooks. This is an app I used for a little while and liked, but since I work in Windows and Mac, and t...
Brainio reborn...

Yes, I find myself instantly attracted to this app. Thanks for referring to it.
I agree with Paul. If you've tried both and are still unsure of the differences, then you're probably not using those extended features of Ulysses that Paul references, which means you're probably bet...
It doesn't do all you ask for, but you still might want to take a look at xTiles, if you haven't. It's notebook-like, and does tables, among many other things.

All-In-One solution?

Have you looked at Superlist yet? It allows you to build fairly sophisticated notes around you tasks. And you can nest notes and tasks indefinitely:

Have you looked at Zenkit Hypernotes. I think it meets most of your requirements.

It is a mature product that doesn't get a lot of significant upgrades. It doe...
Forum redesign
4/9/2026
It was a little startling to check in on the site and see something so different, but I like it. Is there any way you can add a "like" button for posts and replies? I'm so used to doing that at other ...
I have tried ByDesign, just because I can't resist. I don't need such a full featured task management app, so my testing was just for the fun of it. I think it has a lot of promise. As I said, it pack...
I wonder why you're having trouble with the delayed syncing. I can open any of my outlines in Dynalist instantly -- I am using the browser version. I use it on my MacBook with Safari, and in Windows 1...
I second the Workflowy recommendation. Although I haven't had the bad experiences with Dynalist you have had. There is also Checklist:

It has task features, but you don't need ...
Mailing lists and OmniOutliner
2/17/2026
I'm not stymied in label printing. Just do a CSV export and then run a mail merge in Word. I haven't tried it in Pages. Will have to.
I think mail is still a more effective way to reach out to peopl...
Mailing lists and OmniOutliner
2/16/2026
It would be a killer feature if you could print mailing labels from within OmniOutliner, but nobody thinks about physical mail any longer. Six or seven years ago, I was looking at one of the top membe...
Need a memory jog

I agree, Paul. At the very least, a diagram that is AI generated is certainly not a "mind" map.

A blast from the past. I had high-hopes for Notemap, but alas it never really seemed to gain traction.
Speare word processor

I had tried Speare a couple of years ago. It has some useful and almost unique features. But I ran into a bug of some kind (I don't remember what now), so stopped using it. The developer tried to help...
Walling Monthly Journal

satis and Ken,
Thanks for the feedback. I sent an email to the Walling team (through the contact form on the website) asking what the plans are and haven't gotten a response in 24 hours. That's not a...

Hi, Ken,
Any further thoughts about Walling? I used to use the app a few years ago and liked it. But when it changed hands I got cold feet about continue to store information in it. I have looked at ...
MyMind vs. Spaceduck

This just in: Spaceduck is throwing in the towel.

They are giving up on their product just two years after establishing it. That's pretty unf...
OmniOutliner 6

[Warning: This is probably more off-topic than on.]
Around 2008 I decided to go back to Apple for my personal computing -- for the previous 13 years I used PCs, because that's what I had at work. But...
