Anyone out there use Notemind?
8/9/2008
Coincidentally I just downloaded and trialed Notemind a couple of days ago. The interface that allows you to view your material graphically is interesting. Other than that, however, it didn't seem to ...
Does anyone know if the license agreement for Personal Brain allows one to install both a Mac version and a Windows version? That is, I could see a real benefit for using Personal Brain if I could ins...
Your comment, Alexander, reminds me that Brainstorm exports its models (or parts of models) as tabbed plain text. And now Personal Brain can import or export tabbed plain text outlines. Which means th...
tkOutline is a handy little application. I don't believe we will ever actually see any additional updates, not with a four-year gap since the last update. Nevertheless, it still works well. It has a h...
Thanks, Hugh and David,
I've updated the list on Pierre's spreadsheet to include most of the suggestions.

Thanks for the reminder, Franz... Believe it or not, I use Yojimbo all the time, so it's a little frightening that I forgot to include it!
I've now added the Mac programs (including Yojimbo) to Pierr...
Prompted by David's observation that the previous list was limited to Windows applications, I've collected a list of the Mac OSX outliners and information managers that I've looked at. I make no claim...
Speak of the Devil: Update to MyInfo
7/25/2008
I was just writing about MyInfo, but I now see that version 4.1 is released. The biggest change -- and a very welcome improvement -- is that you can now import csv data into MyInfo (presumably into th...
In the doldrums?

Dan,
Thank you for the comprehensive review of EverNote's features. Of particular interest is your discussion of the value of tags. (By the way, MyInfo also does tags, and Surfulater is adding them.)...

Dan,

In the doldrums?

Looking at the long list of outliners and PIMs recently posted here, I realize how few of them are new or doing anything innovative.
In fact, the whole category of applications seems to be asleep. Th...

List of outliners
7/23/2008
Great list... several applications on here that even a hardcore CRIMPer like me hasn't heard of before. It also brings back some memories. I recall being excited with Ovation Outliner first came out. ...
The other option you might try is ListPro:
www.iliumsoft.com
It is more of a list building application. You can create a hierarchy of folders to hold your various lists, and these lists can have int...

Topicscape Pro on Bits next Wednesday
7/16/2008
Hello, all.
Wow. It has been pretty quiet here the past few weeks. No much going on in the world of outliners, I guess. I just noticed that next Wednesday (July 23), Topicscape Pro will be on sale at...
Hi, all,
I know that this is way off topic, but this software looks very useful. It is a PowerPoint add-on that converts PP presentations into flash movies. So I thought I'd just give a holler on her...

John,
I'm not technologically savvy enough to be able to tell you what kind of data engine The Journal utilizes, but I can tell you I have never experienced a problem with losing data. I haven't load...
The Journal is a nice application with lots of great features. I used it for years before switching to a MacBook for my personal writing. Here's a quick list of pros and cons (from my perspective):

Celtx -- Anyone aware of this program?
6/30/2008
Hi, all,
I just learned about this software, Celtx. It isn't an outliner or a PIM, and it is designed for screenwriters and dramatists. But it seems packed with great features, and seems to be well t...
Writing And Outliners
6/28/2008
Here's the reason I would like to use a good outliner for writing: I'm a very organic writer. That is, I write pieces as they come to me, add section heads as they occur to me. Yes, I think about my t...
Up-to-date outliner rating matrix?
6/26/2008
Another option to consider is SuperNoteCard (www.mindola.com). It has some nice features. The drawback for me is that I find the editor a little clunky... probably due to its Java lineage. But definit...
Up-to-date outliner rating matrix?
6/26/2008
Paul Kurucz put together a matrix like this at one point several years ago. I do not know if he has kept it up to date, but here is the link:

Good luck...
Opinions On TheBrain?
6/25/2008
Hugh,
Thank you for the summary of your observations comparing the Mac and PC versions of ThePersonalBrain. It sounds like a tempting piece of software, but -- you're right -- at $249 it's pretty exp...
