For writing apps you need to look at Ulysses and Scrivener, I think. Ulysses is more versatile, but is a subscription model. Scrivener is more project-oriented and a one-time purchase.
For notes, wel...
A significant development with Craft
6/2/2021
I am a fan of both Obsidian and Roam, but I don't like writing in either app a whole lot. Craft feels more like a genuine word processor with note-linking skills. But I have not yet really committed t...
A significant development with Craft

Craft has now incorporated a Calendar view which makes it easy to create daily notes. This is an excellent addition. I don't know if this has been implemented in the web version yet, but I doubt it. O...
Mem
5/25/2021
I just wanted to update my thoughts about Mem. I am finding it works pretty well for me. Entering information is very frictionless. I mostly use it on my Windows PC at work, so I access it through the...
The outlining newcomers

This conversation may be going over my head, so if I'm stating something completely off-base apologies up front.
But when Dave Winer was talking about silos, I took him to mean that most of the appli...
The outlining newcomers
5/13/2021
I know I am not the only one who remembers that Dave was the original host of this forum, the one who got this ball rolling. I'm not sure of what he'd make of CRIMPing, and I don't think I want to fin...
TheBrain v. Obsidian as of May 2021
5/7/2021
This is a good choice, but only if you do not intend to synchronize your brains across devices.

TheBrain v. Obsidian as of May 2021
5/5/2021
Some additional positive notes about TheBrain. The search is very fast. You can now also quickly create a new thought right from the search bar... it works like nvAlt and some other apps do, combining...
I just recently had a look at columns.app too and my assessment is the same as yours: interesting and intriguing concept, but needs more work.
There is a similar app called Checklist (not Checkvist) ...
Two other apps that I am aware of that can handle tasks as you're asking for are Amplenote and Organizedly. Amplenote tasks can be set to repeat, whereas I don't think Organizedly has that feature yet...
Notejoy iOS and Android Apps
4/26/2021
I love Notejoy. It is my go to notes manager -- similar to how you plan to use it. I don't use the mobile apps much, but I haven't had any problems with either the iPad or iPhone.
And Notejoy is bein...
The Ivy Lee Method + Analog
4/20/2021
What's worse, I covet the little box this Analog uses... but I'm really not going to buy it just for that.
Just for an experiment, I thought I'd try to recreate the Analog method in Milanote. If you'...

I know this will shock everyone, but I have one of those too! I've never used it... also shocking.

Craft seems like it could be an ideal journal, and that's what I'm going to use it for first and foremost.

This morning I got access to the web version of Craft and I am already overjoyed. This could be the note-taking solution I've been hunting for (CRIMP over-optimism at work?). Anyone else working in th...
Thanks for the update, Franz. I hope they get it sorted for you soon. It's a nice feature.

A significant development with Craft

I've been intrigued by Craft for quite a while, but it has been limited to the Apple ecosystem, which has meant it has no value for me at my paying job, where we work on Windows PCs.
But Craft just a...
Transno
4/13/2021
Anyone working with Transno? It seems like a fairly capable Workflowy/Dynalist alternative. One of the things Transno has going for it is that it exports to Word format... Dynalist doesn't. Not sure a...
Hi, Franz,
I just tested the new linking features in the Windows desktop app and it seems to work fine.

Mem
4/12/2021
One more comment about Mem. You can add notes to your timeline via text message. I haven't seen this feature before... although it wouldn't surprise me to learn other apps have it, because it makes pe...
My primary go-to Evernote replacement, Notejoy, now has bi-directional linking:

Just FYI.

Mem

In the Mem manifesto, they say they want to keep your data out of corporate hands:
"We dreamed about the possibility of a "Me API", a knowledge graph that consolidated everything we know — secu...
Mem
4/11/2021
I've been working with Mem today, having just got an early invite.
I am intrigued by the app, but it is not a competitor of Roam or Obsidian, in that it does not provide the kind of cross-linking tha...
Is Toodledo dead?
4/7/2021
I get it, Doc. I admit that the daily pages feature in Roam is very attractive. I've been working in Hypernotes, which has a very similar feature.

I'm not trying to convince you to go back to Workflowy, but there is an easy way to pre-ad all the days of the year in a hierarchy in Workflowy and Dynalist. I described the method putting the dates i...
