Well, for some sorts of "productivity", yes, that's an appropriate term. Usually here it is CRIMPing

Omni Outliner 5 is set to launch

I don't see a switch -- I bought Pro. Of course most of the bits and pieces can be turned off individually -- but there's no obvious global switch. (Early days -- it could be staring me in the face...

New mind-mapping app
4/5/2017
I've tried it. It's more like MindNode than Xmind. And it is minimally functional. The iOS version is less functional than the macOS. They are both more proof-of-conceptish than mind mapping for...
Why are tags considered binary?

... and of course databases are structured with attributes. A nice personal solution for making what you seem to be looking for is Airtable.
Why are tags considered binary?
3/31/2017
I would imagine there is no standard for "tag" or "tagging". There are some ancient RFCs on the topic, but they are somewhat technical (e.g., how to handle tags in UNICODE).
Developers have differe...
NotePlan iOS
3/30/2017
Eduard Metzger has an iOS beta in play for NotePlan -- a very cool porting of the macOS app to the iOS platform. Sync via iCloud. NotePlan keeps getting better and better.

Then in my opinion you're better off with DTTG. DTTG can do download on demand -- in that case it only syncs metadata (name, tags, etc.) but not the actual file until you tell DTTG to get it for you...
Apple Buys Workflow
3/23/2017
This is an interesting move -- I haven't bothered to check opinions among the Apple fanboy bloggers (a bunch of party line quackers, usually), but a few months after Apple eliminates the automation gr...
OutlineEdit 1.7 & User’s Guide
3/20/2017
Great product, Robin. All that work for free? You need to get some money from us!!!
The Quick Look is very good.
My favorite feature is the Safari OE Marker extension. Very useful.
It's interesting to realize ATPM/ATPO are over 20 years old, and have been gone these five years already. Mark is correct, in my opinion: ATPM/ATPO is a wonderful source of guidance for Mac users, d...
I suggest you correspond with Mark Bernstein, proprietor of Eastgate and creator Tinderbox. Mark has deep expertise in hypertext and note taking / information management. He can help, or he can poin...
OutlineEdit 1.6
3/9/2017
Robin has issued an updated version 1.7 that adds QuickLook -- which is really useful in Mac apps like DEVONthink and Curio that use Quick Look to display the contents of imported files.
Still free. ...
Start small, with few ambitions, and grow from there -- that's the best way to learn Tinderbox I think. For reference, if you don't know Mark Anderson's wonderful atbref.com then delve into it when ...
NoteTaker is good, but always on the verge of death. It hasn't received an update for years. Never had a viable iOS companion, if that matters.
I've never felt interested in having a single note ...
Kanbanier
3/5/2017
Got it (and got, it).
Well, glad that it was free. Has no visible means of copying and exporting data to OPML, text, or otherwise. Or importing. It's pretty, but also an island app.
I'd suggest ...

iThoughts for Windows is now available

Not as fully featured as the Mac or iOS versions though -- the export options especially and the integration of the Mac version with macOS Safari is not carried over. It works, but is more along th...

ConnectedText - moribund?
2/25/2017
If I were running a 20,000 page website I would be sure I would have more than a single to keep it going -- well tested options, ready for cutover at any time.
Except for rare cases -- such as Tinder...

Dropbox Paper

Not sure what "manage ... better" entails -- do you mean separate storage locations for chapters, research, related files, etc.? Paper is Folders, Favorites. Nothing more. I wouldn't use it to wr...
