6/20/2026
After about 15 years of mainly silence, Quiver returned to life this week to publish a silicon version so that it would survive the end of Rosetta on macOS

I've discovered shift-command-7 --- this opens a little control to capture notes when I'm working in any context. The captured note is time & date stamped and put into a "bucket" note in the current...

Thanks for the quick turnaround and kind attention to suggestions. (BTW, the release notes mention an ability to change default font to any installed font, though the feature doesn't appear to have ...

I bought @Mark's MojoPad app. I know I'll enjoy using it. May I suggest adding the ability to use any installed font? I rely on Atkinson Hyperlegible, and some others. VoodooPad's font limitat...

VooDooPad definitely was wonderful -- and it's wonderful to see a sort of tribute-band modern version. Especially for the case of self-publishing a wiki, which MojoPad supports. The addition of na...

Interesting. Thanks for telling us. I'll check it out.
I do miss VooDooPad occasionally, actually, but over the years have also found most of its features made their way into other apps. E.g.,...
GetDoneNow - a focus timer that asks you to validate your focus every 5 minutes (feedback welcome)

Thank you for posting. I appreciate the intent, but I would never subject myself to this app's discipline. I don't like machines making me into a machine.

Database for MacOS

Tap Forms has a Silicon version, Tap Forms Pro, which, of course, is a subscription app at $50 per annum. I find this particularly annoying since the developer over the years has gone lengthy period...
Kosshi Is Database-Backed Outlining
6/1/2026
As it happens, both Outlinely and Quiver are still on my MacBook. Though, they will possibly die in a year or so when Apple stops support for Rosetta. Kosshi is more feature-rich than Outlinely, e...

Kosshi Is Database-Backed Outlining
5/27/2026
I bought Kosshi without hesitation, and enjoy it on macOS quite a bit. It needs to be better adapted for iOS though -- the app is very keyboard centric on macOS but most of those keyboard actions ar...

This is my personal reading of the situation. I love Tana and I admire the whole team. I just believe that doing a major pivot to build a "new Tana" (their words) with as-yet vaguely defined featur...

Alfons Schmid's Notebooks
