Index Card v4 for iOS
6/25/2015
Index Card v4 for iOS will be available for sale on the App Store soon (Monday the 29th?) It is a "corkboard writing app" using, what else, the index card metaphor. I've been using it for several ye...
Mellel for iPad
6/22/2015
Thanks for the headsup, Bill. $19.99 is a pricey CRIMP, though tempting -- I'd wait until Scrivener makes its debut. I wonder what the future will be for RTF on iPad -- the Markdown/MultiMarkdown ...

Just in time for Office 365 2015 ;-)
Editorial app on iOS gets "folding"
6/15/2015
I'll mention this because several readers comment on whether software discussed here supports folding or not. Editorial, a very robust text/markdown editor on iOS, is out with release 1.2 that suppor...

Well, I just clicked the link (same as the one below) and the page banner says "2015 summer festival of artisanal software".

Outline+ updates
6/11/2015
I'm going to reprise my role as your contrarian today, Bill, and advise caution whenever dealing with Outline+. I've not yet worked with today's release (the iCloud Drive sync feature Bill mentions)...

It's possible that iOS 9 on iPads -- with Slide Over and Split View (especially Split View) will quickly make Tapose and its category obsolete.
Tinderbox (and friends) on sale

Tinderbox (OS X) and some of its friends are on sale

v6.3 added several nice features -- Tinderbox resists explanation. Calling it a note ...
Maybe the developer is busy developing and deicded she didn't have time to invest in a correspondence with somewho who already paid for the product and was unlikely to buy it again?
Sway (MS Office Online)

"Moorea" not "Morea"
Sway (MS Office Online)
6/4/2015
The beta Sway can change the navigation from horizontal to vertical, and it indicates there are other navigation options in the works: page-by-page, album, etc. It's possible to quickly flip the nav...
Sway (MS Office Online)
6/3/2015
Discovered a beta app in my MS Office Online account -- "Sway". It's easier to view an example of what the app can do than explain the app. (I didn't create this document, MS created it.)

This is great news ... I love Growly Notes. (I love the idea of any program named "Growly").
But the iPad app is buggy in strange ways. PDF exports are single page and the right margins are clipped...
Microsoft Buys Wunderlist
6/2/2015
I read announcements like Wunderlist's with a mixed mind. I hope it's a good outcome for the developers and (I assume) their investors.
Ghostnote
5/30/2015
There is another Mac app in the App Store similar to GhostNotes -- AntNotes. It supports note export (to rich text or plain -- so a note could be written with Markdown), which doesn't seem possible ...
Current Todoist Users?
5/29/2015
For years I have been using OmniFocus on OS X, iOS and now on the Watch. I've periodically stopped using it and intensely tried other applications. Recently I spent a month with Todoist. If I were ...
Ghostnote
5/29/2015
A cheap thrill for $4.99 -- thanks Bill. From the developer's FAQ it looks like the best is yet to come -- searchable, exportable notes, more than one note per app/file/folder. I think for now the n...
Curio Express & Curio Reader
5/13/2015
The Mac App Store (MAS) limitations are significant -- at least for me because I regularly use Curio to do most of the things on this list that are not permitted with Curio Express

Curio Express & Curio Reader
5/12/2015
Zengobi -- developer of Curio for OS X -- announced "Curio Express" and "Curio Reader". Curio documents usually have multiple sections, folders, and "idea spaces" (canvases) plus several project man...

5/12/2015
I came across a nice little note taker for OS X, NoteAway (http://noteaway.com) The basic app is free on the Mac App Store, the "Pro" version adds several features (mainly sharing) for $4.99. The ap...
Exciting teaser for Notebooks
5/9/2015
Notebooks (Schmidt) is one of the few apps that I would have no problem paying a full-price version upgrade for.
