Collaborative Outline about Outliners that work on both macOS and iOS 5/2/2017

I don't use it on either platform, but doesn't One Note qualify?

Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price 4/15/2017

I like the product very much, and beta tested it, but even I shied from $40 a year. I just didn't think I would use it enough. But this is more like it, and the product is certainly worthy of support.

Demise of NoteMap 4/12/2017

My organization (a non-profit) actually bought Casemap as a work management tool (documenting all kinds of organizations, issues, and facts around various challenges to library materials). It's quite ...

Back, back to TaskPaper 1/31/2017

I use Editorial on iOS and like it alot. But there is or was an iOS app: Taskmator. (I liked the Editorial version better, although it's been awhile since I've looked at Taskmator.)

Dynalist getting even better 12/25/2016

I see your point. If you're not using it, it definitely doesn't make sense to keep paying for it. Workflowy lets you easily export to OPML. And of course, Dynalist will import it directly. Kudos to Wo...

Dynalist getting even better 12/25/2016

I bought a Pro subscription a while back, and have been using it as a work journal and daily management tool. But the team is really improving things. In addition to the standalone app (that Chrome su...

Outlinely for iOS version 1 released. 12/22/2016

I Beta tested, too, and found the iOS product very useful. Over the past couple of weeks or so I have tended to reach for it when noodling something. Is it more useful than Editorial? Editorial, to m...

Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links 12/14/2016

Agreed, the developer is FAST, and this is a solid outliner on iOS that looks and feels clean and responsive.

Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links 11/25/2016

I've been beta testing, too. I agree that not all of the feature I need are there yet (word count, search, etc.). But it hasn't crashed on me, it looks terrific, and the developer. Works well, and one...

Windows vs. Mac plus Parallels 11/18/2016

As an only occasional Mac user, I may not be really qualified to answer this. But I think the answer is that if you enjoy using that platform, it's jarring to adjust to a Windows program. We tend to l...

New unofficial workflowy app 11/1/2016

We've written about Dynalist before, but I happen to have brought my iPad into work today, so thought I'd see how Dynalist is in iOS lately. The answer is: pretty good. Using Chrome, I went to the web...

TreeProjects is now free 10/12/2016

Not bad, a very capable tool chest. The necessary things for me: - Does it have a word count option? - What formats does it export to (mostly interested in text formats)?

noteplan 10/4/2016

It doesn't look bad at all. Does it allow folding?

Moo.do does gmail 9/9/2016

NovaMind bites the dust 9/1/2016

I bought SimpleMind for iOS, and loved it, mostly to plan and give talks. What really works is the default drag-it-around-the-screen feel to it. That is, it doesn't snap to a grid or follow usually st...

New unofficial workflowy app 8/29/2016

Yes, I still summon CarbonFin Outliner for conference notes, article planning, travel journals, etc. How is Handyflowy on iOS? That is, is it just a more focused implementation of Workflowy, or does i...

Fargo times out in June 2017 8/29/2016

I suppose the real advantage for me of Dynalist over Workflowy was the ability to spin out outlines as distinct files. While I know there are strategies for doing that in Workflowy (multiple tabs in t...

Fargo times out in June 2017 8/29/2016

I wanted to like Fargo, but found that at that point in my career, I needed something that worked seamlessly over iPad and desktop (Windows and Linux). The Workflowy interface was much easier to work ...

Gingko going open source via a Kickstarter campaign 7/28/2016

I'd probably invest in that. Is there a link to the Kickstarter page? (Apologies if I just didn't catch it.)

XMind for iOS 7/28/2016

From my mail today: The day is finally coming! After years of diligent work, XMind is finally coming to iOS! Over the years, we've received countless requests from XMind lovers for bringing XMind to ...

Evernote raises prices 7/1/2016

A lifehacks article, too: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-jump-ship-from-evernote-and-take-your-data-with-1782841075 I moved everything out to html files this morning. Most of the content I already move...

WizNote (from China http://www.wiz.cn/index.html) 6/22/2016

Recently resurfaced here: http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/wiznote-an-evernote-alternative-linux-note-taking-app It does make me wonder, though. To be paranoid (reading too much news lately, I'm a...

ImindQ Online Mindmapping 5/10/2016

Thanks, I took a look at it. It did three things: - began with asking for access to a cloud system (Dropbox or Google) - offered a tutorial mindmap that offered what struck me as a very complex and n...

Omniflow.io becomes Dynalist.io 5/10/2016

Steve, I don't find it usable on the iPad - in that respect, it's even worse than the Workflowy app. For me, Dynalist is a desktop app.

Omniflow.io becomes Dynalist.io 5/9/2016

A few more thoughts. I started a new job a few months ago, and found Dynalist - to my surprise, more than Workflowy - a great way to track projects, and "bucket" them into discrete documents (on the...
