For the record, Reflect has E2E encryption... some of the others may as well.

I meant to say, but forgot, that I didn't include Logseq because I haven't tried it.

We live in a golden age of note-taking applications, which is to say we have way more than we need. If you're anything like me the myriad choices sap my productivity through my undiscipline hopping fr...
I don't know if it meets all of your requirements, but you might check out Ayoa. It combines mind mapping with task management:

I have been using Reflect for a few months now. It is NOT as fulll featured as many of these apps, such as Capacities or Tana. But that's one of its strengths, for me. It is much simpler. I've found i...
XTiles — 2023
5/1/2023
I agree with everything you say about xTiles. These guys are from Ukraine, so I decided to support them with a lifetime subscription. All that said, I actually haven't used it very much, because I fin...

Neville,
Clibu sounds very promising. Congratulations. I've already signed up for the preview.

Airlist - a new Apple-ecosystem outliner
4/24/2023
Hi, all,
Those of you living in the Apple world might be interested in a new outliner/task manager called Airlist:

I can't run it on my MacBook Air because Airlist requires Mac...
Obsidian with Web Apps
3/31/2023
Huzzah for outliners!
I've been using Reflect lately. As I mentioned in the friction thread, I find it more frictionless than most apps, although I honestly can't put my finger on why. Partly it is d...
Friction vs. Features
3/24/2023
Reflect is supposed to work offline and then sync when you're reconnected. I don't know how it does this and whether or not it is truly reliable. And it may be that this only works in the native Mac a...
Friction vs. Features
3/24/2023
Alexander,
I use Reflect's browser version on my Windows machine at work and it is fine. And while they focus on the Mac-verse, they actually don't support the Apple Calendar, but they do work with G...
Friction vs. Features
3/24/2023
Here is how the developer of Reflect describes a frictionless note-taking experience:
"Your notes should flow from you to the page with the least amount of friction possible.
"Writing is not the o...
Friction vs. Features
3/17/2023
This is another example of "your mileage may vary." I have the opposite reaction to Word. I hate writing in it. To me, trying to do anything but type in it is a major chore. It doesn't help that Micro...
Friction vs. Features
3/16/2023
Paul in the recent Curio thread mentioned friction, especially in regard to Noteplan and Agenda. The concept of friction as being a deterent to good and efficient note-taking is certainly valid. I had...
UltraRecall

Daly says more relevant and useful information in two or three sentences than you do in your entire word vomit posts, so you might try being more civil.

3/7/2023
xTiles is a Ukraine based app, so they may be looking for an infusion of cash. I did a Zoom session with the developers, last spring, I think it was. They seemed dedicated to the app, so I am not too ...

I've used xTiles some and wrote about it here:

The app has come a long way since that mini-review.

There are many browser-based writing apps, some almost identical to Scrivener, others borrowing some of Scrivener's ideas. I imagine they must be having some impact on sales of Scrivener, which could ...
Andy,
I guess I can only speak for myself -- though I believe most of the folks on this forum would share my sentiments -- but I welcome your comments. I have no problem with you mentioning Hyperpla...
Thanks for asking. First of all, I admire both apps and I think they will each get better and better. I am inclined toward Heptabase at this point for a few reasons:
1. Heptabase is local first, but ...
Obsidian vs Heptabase
1/29/2023
Not trying to talk anyone out of Obsidian and into Heptabase, but I do want to mention that Heptabase has been getting lots of useful new features, like this one:

Beck Tench's Tech Bench

Off topic:
I just came across a YouTube video by Beck Tench (who has been a contributor to this form in the past). She calls it Beck Tench's Tech Bench... great name. Previously, Beck had made some w...
Tana?
1/5/2023
I used Tana for a few days. I certainly didn't delve into all its rich features, but through my experience I would agree with what @exatty95 said. And I would add this:
I found that Tana is a lot l...
Capacities Get Mac app
1/4/2023
I've started off 2023 diving into Capacities. So far I've been impressed. It isn't necessarily that it has functions other apps don't... with so many apps, it is hard to find one that is really differ...
