Mind mapping vs. Venn diagrams
5/22/2012
Tinderbox would work for this purpose, I believe, but of course you'd need a Mac and the willingness to pony up the bucks. Still, I wanted to mention it for completeness.

Another one bites the dust?

In the "reports of my death are premature" department, I just tried clicking over to ndexCards again and find that the site is up and running again.
Still, any software company that would let its dom...
Another one bites the dust?

I just looked in on ndexCards to see if it had awakened from its long hibernation (over four years since the last small update), and found that the web site has expired:

I doubt if it is better than My Life Organized or Achieve Planner, but if you're still looking for another option, check out Task Coach. It is free and multiplatform, including an iOS version:

The first app that came to mind when I read your question is MyInfo. I think you'll find it easier and more intuitive to use than UltraRecall -- at least that's my experience with the two. The reason ...
Liquid Story Binder

I had a license for a previous version of Liquid Story Binder, but haven't used the application in several years. My experience of it is that all those great tools are not well integrated. For example...
most facile outliner

If you haven't tried Noteliner yet, you might give it a try. It has a lot of built in functions for task management, which, if you don't need them, might make you think twice about the application. Bu...
TheBrain 7 Beta

I can't speak for if the function has been improved, as I've never tried this before. However, I did just export to a "site brain" from TheBrain 7 and it appears to work like a charm in Internet Explo...

Don't know if anyone noticed this, but I thought it was interesting that CintaNotes now costs $10... though you can continue using the previous version free. This makes sense and $10 is a bargain as f...
