Not sure I can look at their entire web site without having an epileptic seizure.

This is an author who wrote prolifically on the topic of Lateral Thinking. Lateral Thinking seemed to gain some traction with outlining-type thinkers, but not with everyone else. Like Nathan Pritikin,...
The Ivy Lee Method + Analog
4/18/2021
I've tried a lot of notecard-based systems (both hard copy and digital), and find that hard copy note quickly get covered with all the crap that hits my desk, then are past due when I dig down to them...
My Life Organized Question
4/4/2021
This thread demonstrated just how fleeting PIMs are. Let's start with Lotus Agenda, PackRat, Ecco, Ascend, Lotus Organizer, Desktop Set, and DayTimer. This was followed by a geometric increase in apps...
My Life Organized Question
4/3/2021
I've never seen MLO, but I used one called "Life Balance" that was based on the GTD principles. So was "Midnight Inbox". The latter was a nice program that the author was promising was about to come o...
Another new app
10/29/2020
By the time I downloaded and opened this app, it was already open source. Just looking at it, I got the impression that it was in the same genre as Bear and Ulysses. I haven't been able to put either ...
macOS Checklist App
10/3/2020
SheetPlanner is good for project-oriented lists
OmniOutliner is good, but I hate futzing with the settings so that it formats them (with numbers, etc.) the way I want.
Aquaminds NoteTaker can hold a l...
While I might be able to justify paying $30 a year, $60 is out of my range now that I'm retired. It's probably a good thing. I don't have nearly the planning tasks I had 6 months ago. In fact, I can p...
I wanted to like this, but after the 5th request for passwords it just got to be too intrusive. Sell it to me and get out of the way. I'm not in need of suggestions of new ways to use it. I have curre...
Note taking apps
7/20/2020
The only notetaking app (if you can call it that) that I used almost exclusively without considering straying away was askSam for MSDOS. Like every excellent MSDOS program I used, there was no Windows...
Mellel 5 is out

$29 for the upgrade is more than reasonable.
Buying macOS Software now?

I couldn't live without HoudahSpot. Reminds me of the old Zyindex days.

I'm downloading it right now. I was a paid user of MacJournal until they seemed to abandon it. I recall reading that the author rescued his baby and breathed life into it. It may be a great app to use...
I will check them out. I have never liked LaTEX, and need an editor. In fact, I'll look at several of them.
Thanks much!

Thanks for the replies. I fiddled around with several things, and I may untimately use what I have used in the past for this sort of project...Filemaker Pro. I even used Nutshell, the distant ancestor...
I did understand that. And it is helpful to see what the finished product looks like. I'm not sure I can justify the price of your recommended product (this manual may be the last piece of paid work I...
I do have Windows by way of Parallels, so that isn't completely off the table. I'll give your suggestions a look. They *sound* promising.

Thank you for the insight Paul. I thought about doing all of the pages in Tinderbox (w/o hypertext), organizing them alphabetically, and then dropping them into Pages or Word. Whatever I use, it will ...
I'm putting together a user guide for a complicated database for creating teaching schedules, assigning faculty to classes, and coding the classes with payment amounts. In short, a narrative that is o...
iPad productivity 10 years later
1/30/2020
I can live with just the iPad, but can't work with it solely. I used a Brydge keyboard with it, and what annoyed me most is that when I went back to using a Macbook, I couldn't get out of touch-screen...
OutlineEdit 2 is now available

Looks like it didn't make it to 2020.

Ecco, if it is still out there and runs under Windows.
Ultra Recall v. 6.0

Yes, and I so much liked it better when it was like Tornado Notes!
