Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/6/2011
It's hard to describe all the great features of Zoot, because there are so many. I used to say that Tom Davis would add functionality before anyone even realized they needed it; or to put it another w...
Only $24.95! That's a lot of functionality for the price. I recall being impressed by the features and power of IM, but finding the interface cumbersome and slow. It will be interesting to see if the...
Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/5/2011
Welcome aboard.
I think it is inaccurate to view Zoot as now being focussed on a Twitter/Facebook development path. Zoot XT has many enhancements, and I do not believe Tom Davis has shirked the core ...
Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/4/2011
I can understand the frustrations with Zoot over the past few years. But I have to say that through the endless updates -- minor and major -- Zoot has worked seamlessly for me, at least in terms of my...
Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/3/2011
I've been a long time Zoot fan, but it has taken me some time to warm up to XT, but it is growing on me. So far I miss two things:
1. The ability to print mailing labels.
2. A comprehensive help file...

I was a Sidekick user myself. The application I had in which you could clip text in one application and paste it into another. That seemed like the ultimate in convenience. I also used MemoryMate and ...
Glen,
I believe Tom Davis, the developer of Zoot, is putting together help files now -- which is why the current version is still only a release candidate. Official release is supposed to happen in S...
I too like the idea of a personal wiki, but have yet to find one that works intuitively for me. ConnectedText is a powerful program (and can run as a portable version from a USB stick) but I've found ...
If you're looking for a dumping ground, then I don't think PersonalBrain would be your best choice. For that I use Zoot.
But there are schemes for moderately using PB in this way. You can create a Th...
Using PersonalBrain
8/1/2011
On another thread, Susanne asked how I use PersonalBrain. I don't want to hijack that thread, so I'm starting a new one. I hope other PB users will join the discussion. (I'm going to use the PersonalB...
Susanne,
I'll be happy to answer that question, but I'll do so in a new thread so as not to hijack this one.
(Thanks for asking, as I LOVE to converse about this stuff!)

This is a very interesting question, but one that I find difficult to answer. The truth is, none of the programs I use is "essential" because there is so much redundancy among them.* The ones, however...
two pane outliner question
7/31/2011
Nathan,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to be able to organize a collection of smaller outlines, each of which can be stored in categories. Essentially an outline of outlines. If th...

I'd love to hear comments from people who are using MT effectively!

[Rescuing MaxThink for the other thread because it deserves a thread of its own.]
MaxThink is an interesting case study. It's an application with a definite philosophy behind its creation. When you g...
JB,
Like you said earlier, this is a tough crowd. It is nice of you to offer your system free, especially since you also promote Brainstorm, software that I admire. I took a quick look at your site w...

Tree for MacOS

I meant to add, but got too eager to use the "post" button, that the versatility of Tree as demonstrated in your screenshots is pretty impressive.

Tree for MacOS

From my experience, Tree is unmatched for the ability to mix-and-match how the outline/diagram is displayed. In this screenshot, I've got the Moons of Mars expanded horizontally, and the Moon of the E...

FWIW, my review of Tree is now posted at Mac Appstorm. If you're interested, you can find it here:

I haven't used it, but Edwin's Writing Outliner purports to have a revision control function. You might give it a try. See here:

Jim,
You can move notes up and down the outline, but the process is a little obscure until you learn what it is (I didn't know it until I e-mailed the developer a few minutes ago so I could respond t...

Hi, Daly,
Glad to add some details. So far I've used Noteliner primarily as an outlining application and have not taken much advantage of its task- and day-management features, but as it continues to...

It is coincidental that you mention Tree as I'm supposed to be working on a review for Mac Appstorm. I say supposed to be, because I haven't had the time to get to it over the past few weeks, but I ho...
