iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"
9/9/2015
Convergence in Cupertino. I'm not in the market for a new computer, but I think at this point I'd choose to pay less for a Surface and get more than what the iPad Pro offers.
Marked.app 2.5 - preview notes
8/18/2015
Marked is one of my favorite apps for OS X -- a previewer for Markdown, MultiMarkdown, Fountain and other text markup, with some very good "writing analysis tools". The author, Brett Terpstra, is blo...
Interesting week.

This is one of those YMMV situations. You're just going to have to try for yourself, with your own kit and networks, to see how it goes.
Go make a cup of coffee and come back, all should be well ;-)
It's never clear with iCloud sync when something is syncing in the background and when it isn't. I've found the little cloud icon next t...
I've been writing a lot of articles with Ulysses recently, moving back and forth between OS X and iPad. The iCloud sync has been "reliable" but not fast. That's not The Soulmen's fault -- it's Apple...
Idea Sketch is now Idea Flip
8/16/2015
And now Idea Sketch is Ideament. (Is an app that is regularly changing its name possibly on the lam ;-) ?)
Outlining, with folding, or graphical "mind map-ish" view. The graphical view does not req...
Transpose (formerly KustomNote)
8/5/2015
A long time ago I trialed an web based app "KustomNote" that was built templated notes (forms). It's been relaunced as "Transpose" -- better name, but has nothing to do with transposition. The site ...
As mentioned here before by Bill, Alfons Schmid's Notebooks app on IOS has release v8.1 today which add a wonderful new feature to "view two documents side by side" Select a document to appear in the...
Evernote is watching
7/31/2015
The Evernote web clipper in Safari has a creepy new feature: "Show Evernote content related to my web searches". The feature can be turned off in an "option" -- but I suspect that all that's being tu...
Wanted: Daily project logging app
7/28/2015
I'm a fan of TapForms on the Mac (for those interested in this topic WRT that platform). I use TapForms for the purpose @zoe described. Form create, sync to iOS, and export is very simple. Export t...
Wanted: Daily project logging app
7/27/2015
I'd definitely second @Lucas' recommendation of Tinderbox for this purpose -- but note that Tinderbox does not have "spreadsheet-like functionality" until you configure/code Tinderbox to have that fea...
Corkboard apps
7/26/2015
I formerly used Index Card for iPad from DenVog software. It is now at v4 and is a nice build. I say "formerly" because I never think of using it anymore. Mainly because Ulysses on OS X and iPad --...
Thanks for the interesting report, BIll. I'll look forward to the standard release of iOS 9 this fall. I've wrestled with MyMind a few times and either couldn't get it to stop nattering with the tut...
A Take Control book for KM would be excellent. There is a DocuWiki KM Wiki linked off the KM 7 Help Menu. I don't know if this is new with v7 or not - but it seems like a useful feature. But not a ...

Sorry for my longer post, above. Self-help answered my questions. After fiddling with CrossOver and CT I dropped the idea and went back to running CT natively in a Windows machine. The process of h...
Thanks for the update -- I've been considering this purchase for a while for exactly the reason of running ConnectedText. Went ahead and bought it.
Before installing ConnectedText though I wonder if...
Office 2016 for Mac is released
7/9/2015
Office 365 subscribers can now install release of Office 2016 (Excel, Word, etc.) (No longer beta.) It's pretty much the iPad version ported to OS X -- with more menu items, and "simplified" ribbon...
They didn't say much -- which is why I characterized it as a hint:

After a very long period of silence since they acquired the OS X personal wiki application, VoodooPad, the new owner, Plausible Labs, just came alive with a few announcements.
First, there is a new r...

FoldingText for Atom text editor

Thanks for the update. Since most of the innovation in editors seems to be happening in products aimed at software development and team collaboration -- a very large market and growing -- it perhaps...

6/26/2015
Steve, by the time you did all that to Index Card, you would have Tap Forms! LOL
