ThinkComposer early beta

Well, not that I'm a big fan of it, but Inspiration goes from an outline to a diagram and back again at the click of a button.

Beta of TheBrain 7.0 released
10/4/2011
One more comment on TheBrain. The developer refers to the individual nodes as "thoughts." I think this belies the actual functionality of the application (as expressed in my previous comment), because...

@ Alexander,
I agree that the "gee whiz" factor of the plex wears off quickly. As a note manager, TheBrain is very weak. That is, it is no "outliner" (however it is we define that term here). What ma...
Beta of TheBrain 7.0 released

So, any thoughts yet? I'm just getting started with v.7. I'm not sure how significant these changes will prove for me. The link-note feature might be useful. I like the curved link lines and the way y...

@Graham,
Impressive! Thank you for sharing what you can do with CT.

If you are still interested in giving CT a trial, there are some topics in the "Welcome to ConnectedText" project written by users which can help you get started. The one I found most valuable ...
Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2011

I live in the world of a Windows PC at work and a MacBook for personal use. Here are the information management applications I use most:

Alexander,
I have just purchased the upgrade to CT5 because I am considering (strongly) shifting from Zoot to CT. I exported a database from Zoot of about 180 records, each of which became a stand-al...
Alexander, I just check and you can export any note as an RTF file -- though it isn't immediately obvious how to do so. If you're trialing Debrief, try the toolbar button that has a little green, righ...

Eduardo,
Congratulations. I'm looking forward to trying CT 5.

Debrief is one of those applications that shines brightly in some areas and is just infuriating in others. (I also like how I can press one button to shrink Debrief down to one small window that can b...
Why do you CRIMP?
9/20/2011
GeorgeB used my answer, so I'll elaborate: It's damn fun.
I'm intrigued by how people try to solve the problem of information overload. I have been since I got my first personal computer almost 30 ye...
Hi, Alexander,
It doesn't appear that a note can be included in multiple subject folders. However, you can "tag" notes with the index function. You can give each note multiple index tags. Then select...
I don't want to beat a dead horse (don't want to beat a live one either), but an interesting option in the journaling department is Debrief. Perhaps you've already checked it out and dismissed it... I...

Mori gets an update
9/17/2011
Thanks for the heads up on this. When I first switched to the Mac, I tried Mori. It has two features that are not common on Mac OS info managers: 1. Notes can have sub-notes; and 2. custom columns. Th...
Outline within outliner?
9/16/2011
My impression is that the original question related to being able to have an outline of outlines. (In fact, there are a few programs that can actually do this: Debrief Notes, ListPro from Iliumsoft). ...

It is an impressive program. It still has quirks, like th...

You can achieve something like this using Noteliner.

@Daly,
I have no idea why no one has tried to create -- or at least succeeded in creating -- a Windows version of GrandView. Frankly, I don't even think there is anything on the Mac that is as fully ...
