What is the oldest application you use?
11/8/2017
Just to add a little more detail, Brainstorm was originally developed for DOS. The original programmers updated it to Windows and kept improving it until about ten years ago, then transferred ownershi...
New version of Tinderbox now available
11/7/2017
Version 7.3 of Tinderbox was just released. It has a new feature that promises to be very handy. You can set up a Tbox document to watch a Finder folder and automatically import files. This means you ...

On my office Windows machine I have Info Select 8, Brainstorm, AskSam 6 installed, but do not use any of them, except Brainstorm occasionally.
I use Adobe Creative Suite from 2009 regularly.

Blast from the past: Writer's Blocks
11/6/2017
For those of you not familiar with the Windows program Writer's Blocks, it is basically a way to write anything with virtual index cards. It was innovative about 15 years ago, but has long since been ...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/6/2017
What is and what isn't an outliner is open for interpretation. For some it seems that anything that allows you to generate a hierarchy is an outliner, but my own definition is that a genuine outliner ...

I agree, especially in an outliner that costs that much. On the other hand, do any of the MacOS/iOS outliners have cloning?

One more note. I love Dynalist, but I've found a bug in the iOS version that makes it unusable on my iPad. I used it once with a blue tooth keyboard and now it behaves as if my keyboard is always link...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners

One other option is Cloud Outliner Pro. I hadn't used this in awhile, but just reinstalled on my MacBook and iPad. I set it up to sync via iCloud (there's also a proprietary server sync and an Evernot...

OmniOutliner seems to me to be geared toward presenting nice-looking outlines, rather than to creating working documents.
Do TaskPaper documents still open okay in Taskmator or Task on Paper in iOS?...

This is like catnip to me. Must reading. Thanks for the heads up.

I would never try to tell anyone what software should be worth to them, but to me TheBrain is well worth the price. I use TheBrain for most of my information management. And why should I expect to pay...
TheBrain 9 has come very far. I'm impressed. The three biggest improvements:
1. The ability to have multiple brains open at the same time. This makes it a lot easier to chop your information into sma...
A few quick observations:
1. The software is sluggish on my five-year old Windows 7 machine. Slower than Scrivener. Not sure this is a problem yet.
2. Atomic allows you to create notes as a separat...
Some of you may remember a piece of writing software called PageFour. Personally, I'd forgotten all about it until I got an email from the developer today announcing his new application, Atomic Scribb...
Thanks, Andy. Just looking at your info this appears to be a wonderful addition to your very useful software.

A few years ago I used Mindomo:

I found it adequate for my needs at the time. I haven't used it for a few years, so I am not sure how much it might have evolved. It has deskt...
Scrivener 3 is on the way…
9/24/2017
What writing app do you use in Windows instead of Scrivener?
In my experience, Scrivener for Windows is a pretty full-featured writing suite in its own right. Yes, compared to the Mac version, it isn...

WriteMapper

Looks interesting. A great feature would be the ability to import a markdown document and turn it into a mind map. Doesn't look like it can do that at this stage.

It seems IQTell has shut down
9/10/2017
I saw a notice about the impending shutdown when I checked the IQTell site a few months ago. It was an interesting service, and i'm sorry they couldn't make it.

Hi, Paul,
No need to apologize for a Mac post... Noteshare also works on Windows, right?

One possible answer to your question is Curio by Zengobi. If it is the "notebook metaphor" that most attracts you to Circus Ponies Notebook/NoteTaker, Curio might be a solution. I mention this now, be...
