Drafts 5 for iOS goes subscription
4/21/2018
I’ve ended up subscribing to a lot of applications I swore I wouldn’t subscribe to, mainly because I wanted to use them and so I ignored my dislike of the fees.
I’ve seen the “...
The future of OneNote
4/20/2018
Microsoft's revenue from Office commercial and consumer unit licenses and subscriptions in fiscal 2017 was $23 billion USD, with a 58% operating margin (EDITDA). I think they probably have enough mon...
The future of OneNote
4/20/2018
On Office Pro Plus (2016 or O365), OneNote's integration with Outlook and other Office applications is really very useful. It passes muster of corporate and government security assessments, and it w...
Voodoopad 5.2
4/20/2018
This is great news. Sync, now via Dropbox, is more reliable -- and the iOS app was also updated. GitHub-flavored markdown is now the markdown engine. New, responsive, HTML exports. And the app i...

Drafts 5 for iOS goes subscription
4/18/2018
Drafts 5 uses iOS voice-to-text recognition. Drafts 5 is modified to record more-than-45 second chunks. Hours long? You’re best off asking the developer on that instead of us users.
FWIW, ...
iThoughts gets an outline view
4/18/2018
iThoughts on iOS -- a mind mapper that has been around for a "long time" in iOS years -- this week has a minor update that adds an outline view. With folding -- in honor of Bill. The outline is not...
Drafts 5 for iOS goes subscription
4/17/2018
Drafts has been a sort of mainstay iOS app for people who like plain text editors (markdown mainly). The app included some interesting automation, though It hasn't received a lot of attention in rec...
Are user documents stored in the "native cloud"? I didn't yet locate an explanation - but I assume this "native cloud" is someone's server someplace we don't know where, run by somewhere we have no i...
The latest incarnation of a Memex, perhaps?
Semantic search has been around for a while. It depends on the quality or robustness of the search algorithm and the quality and breadth of the corpus th...
What platform? Linux? Windows? Mac?
Is something like Things 3 on the Mac what you have in mind?

Taskade
4/14/2018
Curious, I downloaded Taskade onto my iPhone. The first thing it wanted was for me to Sign Up or Login. No demo, no explanation of what happens if I sign up. Nowadays I hate to give out even phon...
TaskPaper iOS apps

I imagine that Bill has a laptop he can fold up to business card size. And a folding bicycle, of course.

RightNote's release history
4/11/2018
Is there a notice posted that Microsoft will abandon OneNote desktop on Windows? Link? Or is that just some blogosphere conjecturing?
TaskPaper iOS apps
4/10/2018
Taskpaper documents are plain text. Editorial is plain text editor which has built-in support for the basic Taskpaper syntax. (Not the modern changes with tags, etc., in Taskpaper 3 -- nothing in ...
Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com) ticks all these boxes. It includes a Centered Layout (content is positioned in the middle of the editing panel -- with ability to expan...
TaskPaper iOS apps
4/9/2018
Same here. I had trouble with Taskmator sync and some UI difficulties with how checkboxes were selected. Like jaslar, I found Editorial to be more usable.
I think neither Taskmator nor Editorial a...
Interesting little application -- thanks for pointing it out @marlowe. BTW, they say the license is "open source (MIT license)"
I like the feature to watch numerous folders -- and support syntax hi...
I hear you. Day One does have its limitations. The two differences in my case is that search within documents is not important for me -- most of what I do is capture & comment, or write journal not...
Welcome to @doablesoftware

Thank you, Lucas. Quite a flood of rather confusing postings.
I use the others, but most frequently Day One because it has a pleasantly designed and simple look, has good services for capturing text or images from other applications, and a nice quick-entry mode ...
Good question, Alex. I don't have a single solution for notes, being a restless CRIMPer, but some important ones to answer your question:
Use case / Solution
Book notes / Kindle
Articles / Save a ...
Alex of the three, I would only consider OmniOutliner as a best-fit for your requirements.
OmniFocus is not good for outlining. Attachments are iffy.
There might be web-based solutions? Not ...
I used LiveScribe for a while then stopped because I wasn't actually making much use of digital notebooks, they were only searchable within their app, the supplies were expensive, pens broke, and the ...
WriteMonkey for Windows: Mac beta
4/4/2018
Perhaps, but in the WriteMonkey case there appears to be more. Even if the .zip is downloaded directly to applications, the .app package can fail to launch correctly unless the developer's instructio...
