Hyper Plan v2 is out
3/11/2016
Andy,
Thanks for the notice. The improvements look very substantial. I am considering a purchase. Am I reading your license correctly when I interpret it that I can use Hyperplan on both a PC and a M...
GrandView for Windows v1
3/3/2016
Several years ago I posted some screenshots of Grandview running on my Mac:

Circus Ponies suddenly ceased business
2/22/2016
An app that could have had the potential to replace Circus Ponies Notebook's outlining capability was Note Suite, which sadly has also gone belly up. But I found it an excellent outliner. Similar in s...
An alternative to Circus Ponies Notebook
2/15/2016
I second the suggestions of Curio and OmniOutliner and would just add that you should also take a look at GrowlyNotes and Outline (although these latter too may be too much like OneNote).

I got mine right away this morning. Perhaps there's a surge of orders coming through.

Fetchnotes shuts down
2/4/2016
Small consolation, but at least FetchNotes exit was a bit more graceful than Circus Ponies Notebook.

Day One 2 available on Thursday
2/3/2016
As someone who finds utility with Day One, $25 in total to update on both OSx and iOS seems fair and reasonable to me. I don't want the developer to go belly up like so many others, so I'm happy to su...
Day One 2 available on Thursday
2/2/2016
This is a notice for Day One fans. According to the developer's blog, version 2 will be out on Thursday. Here's what they say about it:

One solution, but not ideal. Especially mixing a cloud-bas...

Card-based productivity software

I have been intrigued by card-based information managers since I used an app called Instant Recall (I think that was the name -- I don't have instant recall anymore) back in the days of DOS. While it ...
Looks like Noteliner has bit the dust
1/30/2016
When I try to access the Noteliner.org site, I got a re-route to Go Daddy trying to sell me the domain name, but with a notice that it expired in December.

BTW, I also wrote an article about Noteliner (which I'd almost forgotten about):

I check in every now and then to the Noteliner website to see if there has been any development (last was spring of 2013, I believe). Sadly, when I recently checked in I found that the domain (notelin...

Hi, again, Doc,
I just stumbled across this video tutorial which demonstrates how expanded view in TheBrain works:

Doc,
You might take a look at TheBrain. You can get a concept map approach using the expanded view mode, which allows you to move your "thoughts" around at will. Then you can use the somewhat obtuse,...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/19/2016
You've summed it up perfectly, Bill.
One suggestion that may be unpalatable for many, but might also work is to rely instead on a mind-map-style program. Applications like Simple Mind and iThoughts h...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/19/2016
I have OmniOutliner installed on both my MacBooks and on my iPad Air. I can't say that I use it extensively, but I do use it. I haven't experienced any crashes, but my outlines are not big, sprawling ...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/12/2016
Thank you for alerting us about this new version of Cloud Outliner. Being a fan of the iPad app, I had to give this a whirl. I haven't had the hang up issues you describe, but the outline I created wa...
SmartDown

Hi, Franz,
Thank you for giving me an answer. I decided to take the bull by the horns and sent an e-mail to the developer of the Mac version and got a response that, indeed, he also does the Windows ...
SmartDown

Anyone know for sure if the Smartdown for Windows discussed in this thread is related to the Smartdown available for Mac? They seem to have some similar features, but the companies appear to be differ...
Not a lot has changed with me. I've got three platforms to cover.
Windows PC at work:
- TheBrain 8 is my primary information/project manager
- OneNote is my tool for sharing information with colleag...
If you go to the Circus Ponies page, they removed the reference to turd note-taking apps. A smart decision, I'd say.

Slarti,
Notebook was a forked product, I believe, when the developer split with a partner, who went on to develop a very similar app called Notetaker:

Notetaker did get so...
Highly unprofessional indeed.
I would be sorry to see it go, except that CPN appears to have little regard for their customers. So good riddance.
