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

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...

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...
Top down calander
4/2/2018
Ha. Looks like I'm entering into the last few lines of that calendar, so "life planning" doesn't seem like a fruitful activity. Funny -- when I was 18 I had no interest in planning anything beyond l...
WriteMonkey for Windows: Mac beta
4/1/2018
Yes. Very very aware of all that. Thanks. However, the extra steps are needed for WriteMonkey -- as I described, based on the developer's notes for running WriteMonkey on Sierra/High Sierra. YM...
WriteMonkey for Windows: Mac beta
3/31/2018
On macOS High Sierra you need to take steps to bypass Gatekeeper. In Safari, turn off Preferences > General > Open "safe" files after download. This prevents macOS from unzipping the file. Downlo...
"Note taking with mind maps"
3/30/2018
I like iThoughts for this -- both Mac and Windows -- since there is a panel above the map for text associated with a mind map node. The text panel can take up as much of the screen as one wants, and...
Mainly, I just cannot warm up to it yet. It seems more like a hobby app than something viable for the long term. And it not significantly different than nvALT, yet. My impression is that nvALT is ...
Revisiting this topic. Another year is passing without any sign of life in the nvAlt replacement, BitWriter. So I am ready to migrate off of it.
Has anyone come across any new applications in add...

I'm a regular user of Tinderbox, DEVONthink and Curio and get great enjoyment out of working with each of them. And I used CP until its death.
I agree with NickG's endorsement of Curio -- it's very...
Gingko new business model

Looks like we have a couple concurrent threads on the same topic

Gingko Desktop

btw, "final release" -- I should have written "first release" after the beta period.
Gingko Desktop
3/27/2018
In a long rambling (and in places confusing) email, Adriano -- Gingko's developer -- announced the final release of Gingko desktop. A pay-what-you-choose stand-alone desktop app. Suggested price $...
Update: I've learned that the System Information display data is cached and so an application update (like I did to TheBrain 9) does not necessarily update the cache and false negatives are possible....
Well, obviously there are people who do that. In my list of applications release in the past six months, and that are still flagged as not-64 bit, are all of the Adobe Creative Cloud account managem...
