OmmWriter gets an update
9/28/2017
OmmWriter, a minimalist / distraction free "writing environment" (i.e., full screen text editor) has been updated. It's a bit difficult to tell what the update is. Available for Mac and Windows --...
New Mindmanager version - Windows only
9/28/2017
MindManager and MindView feature sets seem comparable on paper -- for the Windows versions. MindView's Mac version has fewer feature than its Windows version. Pricing between MindManager and MindVi...
New Mindmanager version - Windows only

It's worth noting that the list price for the Mac version is 50% of the Windows version -- so I guess that means 50% smaller feature set.
New Mindmanager version - Windows only
9/27/2017
The product has been evolving since 1998. I don't recall how long the Mac version has been out, but it's probably no more than half that time frame. The Mac version has never had a comparable featur...
New Mindmanager version - Windows only
9/27/2017
Thanks for the heads up. I upgrade MindManager every year on Windows -- it's worth the money.
But, man, the annual chore of navigating through their thicket of web sites to try to buy an upgrade. ...
Scrivener 3 is on the way…
9/24/2017
I'd suggest cutting them some slack. The blog says (repeatedly) they'll do macOS first, then Windows. There's only two developers according to their site -- we're not looking at corporate Adobe her...
Keep It is attempting to do something with iCloud sync (potentially unlimited pushes of data up and down through the cloud) that I don't think anyone else has attempted. The folks at DEVONthink have...
Chunking is probably the answer. There's a setting in preferences ("advanced") to do verbose iCloud logging, which you might turn on during your migration. If problems come up send the logs and cr...
Parallels Desktop 13
9/19/2017
I could have mentioned there is a bit of good news in v13. If you use Parallels on a Retina display, Windows 10 no longer struggles to present itself with a proper resolution. The Picture-in-Pictu...
Parallels Desktop 13
9/19/2017
I upgraded from v12 to v13 a few weeks ago. I run a Windows 10 PVM on Parallels, use it most of the day, and have had no issues with Parallels itself. I have no idea what their "faster access to Wi...
I have mixed thoughts about this. On the one hand, $8 annual is a reasonable price for app rental, compared what we've seen recently for subscriptions -- though for comparison up through it's version...
Site's up an accessible over here.

Interesting product -- Freeter.

It's basically a configurable container on the desktop that has windows for local resources (e.g., folders in the file system) and web res...
CRIMPing in the future.
9/10/2017
Hmmm, maybe *your* future is already here. *My* future is not yet ready to arrive. LOL
IMO, the technology for ubiquity is still very low on the S-curve and has lots up healthy upside potential.

CRIMPing in the future.
9/10/2017
I think the DEVONthink folks intently wanted to avoid iCloud sync, which was far more unreliable at the time, and their "database" structure was too fragile to directly store in clouds -- especially D...
CRIMPing in the future.
9/9/2017
First, I don't think CRIMPing qua CRIMPing goes away or changes.
Yes, phones and mobile devices are and will continue to be more prevalent -- but look at what most people do with phones: text and ima...
A (very) interesting new browser
9/8/2017
And Cliqz is owned by Hubert Burda Media, the €2.3 billion conglomerate. So, what's the revenue model here? The in-house search engine? Cliqz Offers? Something keeps those "134 team member...
Any Windows users here ?
9/7/2017
Perhaps the forum needs to be split in two so macOS topics would be posted in a section for that, and the Windows folk would have a section limited to Windows topics? The problem for Mac users, IMO,...
Aquaminds NoteTaker 4?
9/6/2017
Scott Love posted an update on NoteTaker 4

Short story: intent is to release 4.0 by year's end. A newer interface, but the w...
Any Windows users here ?

If you could slip in iOS and Android emulators you might be the hacker-king of the universe LOL

Any Windows users here ?

I don't belong to any cults (at least, not consciously) but one reason I migrated to Mac for a lot of my work -- and a reason that probably affects the Mac-centric postings here -- is the pervasivenes...
Any Windows users here ?

I use Windows 10 and macOS on the same machine -- with a Parallels VM for the Windows instance. I'm in Windows about 50% of the time, because

Eastgate released Tinderbox 7.2 today. Though not billed as a major release, I think it has some interesting new features among the usual performance improvements and bug fixes.
Among the new featu...
I agree with everything Bill wrote.
I also think iCloud is far less transparent -- from a "where's my stuff?" perspective -- than it could be. Less than, say, Dropbox or even OneDrive. Getting into...
If you don't like cloud-centric computing in Windows you won't like it in macOS either. In iOS 11 and High Sierra iCloud will be more pervasive than ever.
