CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?
7/11/2017
I am glad you posted the link, Alexander. It was interesting. There is a smattering of BS in all such schemes, if you ask me. It all comes down to discipline. Any scheme works well if you are discipli...
Those of you who have used Dynalist probably got this email, but for those who might be interested but haven't signed up yet, this might be of interest. From the developer:

CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?
7/10/2017
I used a bullet journal for over a year and found it fairly effective. But three main problems with the system caused me to abandon it: If you lose it, you have no back up. There is no "search" functi...

I too am "sympathetic" to the developer of DayOne. I want them to succeed. But I reread their so called explanation of what their Premium service means and find it super complicated and tenuous. I thi...
As I read it: He likes productivity software, therefore he likes developers of productivity software, therefore support them so they keep making productivity software.

I think you're right Paul. I'd add that a lot of current users probably feel like the whole thing was a bait and switch. Buy the apps and get free synch. But now the free synch is kind of precarious. ...
Notebooks as DayOne replacement
7/2/2017
In the discussion about finding a replacement for DayOne, no one mentioned Notebooks (by Alfons Schmid). At one time, Notebooks was like a gold standard of note-keeping on the iPad and Mac (and even i...
Day One gives itself a "Premium" service
6/30/2017
I've been looking at alternatives. If you just like jotting down notes about what happened on which day, NotePlan is pretty good. It isn't the app for composing long journal entries, though. And it do...
Day One gives itself a "Premium" service
6/29/2017
Among the beauties of DayOne was that it was easy. It works flawlessly on iPad and Mac, and syncs seamlessly. Now they are introducing this unknown -- how long will my copies of DayOne work without me...
Airstory - Appsumo deal
6/26/2017
It looks like it is especially designed for team writing projects. Having just completed one of those, I have to say, "Never again!" (Sorry, this wasn't helpful, I know.)

Dynalist iOS app is out
6/24/2017
Ironically, Dynalist works great through Safari on iOS. Does the iOS app support offline work? That would make it useful.

Quiver for iOS is available, sort of...
6/21/2017
When I noticed today that Quiver for iOS was just released, I had a moment of excitement. Then I realized the app is just a reader for your Quiver files. You can't edit them yet on the iPad. Still, th...
Scapple is a nifty app for simple diagramming and is available for Windows.

Mindscope 1.5 is now available
6/20/2017
Mindscope is a great app for iPad that's a combination of outliner and mind map. It hadn't been updated for a while, but now there is a new version out and it looks like a significant upgrade. Here's ...
NotePlan iOS
6/17/2017
Thanks for the link to Bret's review. I learned a few things I didn't know about NotePlan.
I have been using NotePlan the past couple of weeks and am really enjoying it. To me it makes sense as a di...
Not totally outliner-focused, but nifty
6/10/2017
Thanks, Franz. That makes sense.
Steve Z.
Thank you for the clarification, Paul!

I don't understand much about disk mounting, but it seems to me that one of the drawbacks of using a service like CloudMounter would be that your, say, Dropbox files would not be available to you from...
Outlinely now has zooming on iOS

That's a nice feature. Outlinely is improving rapidly.
Thanks!

Things 3 is released
5/18/2017
That is nifty looking. I was toying with getting Things a couple of months ago. This might just clinch it. BTW, it is $39.99 on the App Store here in the US.

It's alive! Caboodle turns 2.0
5/17/2017
When I switched back to the Mac platform around 2008, one of the note managers I tried was called Caboodle. If memory serves me right, it was a reasonably good app, but didn't really fill my needs -- ...
Is anyone using NoteCard 2 or its brother app TaskCard 2? These look like interesting sticky type notes with a lot more power than just stickies.

Just what is an outliner?

Pierre,
Thank you for sensibly pointing us to a definition of outliner.
