The end of the Taking Note blog
12/8/2020
Someone reached out on Twitter and asked if I knew anything about what happened to the blog. I immediately came here, knewing someone here had to know something. It's really sad to see the blog gone. ...

I switched to Emacs last year, and got sufficiently proficient at navigating around in Org mode. I love that my project notes can contain the todos, and that todos can contain extensive notes, without...
Sorry for reviving this after a month! Couldn't resist :)
(1) So in the initial post, @Dellu said that a Zettelkasten takes a lot of time because you are going to extract every usable bit of informa...
Beorg for iOS
1/7/2019
I use beorg in addition to emacs. They work very well together. One thing that gets on my nerves is that changes from beorg do change the .org files in my Dropbox, but emacs doesn't update the associa...
@Dr Andus: Why the wish to switch? Is it coincidence that you and @JDS want to transition at the same time, or did something break in ConnectedText?
WriteMonkey for Windows: Mac beta
4/4/2018
This is thanks to "App Translocation", where .app bundles extracted into ~/Downloads/ are treated a bit differently: when you launch them, they will be copied to a secret location behind the scenes (=...
TheArchive

At the moment, from a feature comparison point of view, The Archive will give you saved searches, Markdown highlighting, & clickable hashtags. And a future :)

Instead of the fragile URL schemes like someapp://link-to-note/, I assign an ID to everything of value, like 201802271633 (for 16:33 today), optionally with precision to the second. These go into the ...

WriteMonkey gets better and better
10/4/2017
Interesting! WriteMonkey 3 now, too, is an NWJS app (similar to Electron), i.e. it's shipping a minimal browser with the main app in JavaScript on top to perform the cross-platform dance. Am looking f...
A great combo for Concentration [mac]
4/25/2017
I've been testing Timing 2 for a few months now, too. My day to day work is pretty boring. I get up, do my morning routine, and once I sit in front of my desk, I get into a flow-state of deep work and...

Zettelkasten Software
10/1/2014
Notes keeper has tags and (interesting!) groups. I don't know about links between notes, though, or how the files are stored: is the database you have to create a silo?
This is an application I am missing, too. It's on my list of software I want to write, but I can't promise anything. I'd use it in conjunction with an archive of notes in a single folder from which I ...
Zettelkasten Software
5/31/2014
I tried Litlink and can't say that I found it useful. It's rather clumsy to use. The complexity of the application's structure is thrown right at the user's face. Granted, I don't have much use for al...
Nimbus Note

"Go pro" ends at the top of the page for me as well. But pricing works now: http://nimbus.everhelper.me/pricing.php

I wouldn't need that much, but I most...
I can't recommend a specific application because I haven't had the time to test them thoroughly myself. With the help of my readers, I was able to assemble a list which might have something for you: ...

Thanks! Screenshots of course would be nice. I'm going to add your CT posts to the collection anyway to get people started. I also think MK of takingnotenow has interesting posts on the topic. The har...
Thanks for the list! I've never heard of some of the Mac apps, yet.
Actually, I prefer your other idea: I think it's future-proof to add a glyph to keywords and put the resulting "#hashtag" (or "@ke...
Hi,
I think I need your experience to find out which software can be a good part of a Zettelkasten workflow. And I think I can offer something interesting in return: a platform. On that platform, we...
