The Benefit of Nested Tags
12/18/2020
I used Noteplan 2, but v3 is now out of my price range---and a subscription at that, not something I'll return to. It also won't be in Setapp anytime soon as the developer wants to gain traction with ...
The Benefit of Nested Tags
12/17/2020
I recently watched a YouTube video extolling the virtues of Obsidian/Roam/Notion. The video (and it's not alone) highlighted the amazing benefits of links and the graphics browser. I've had a play aro...

The demise of native coded apps
12/6/2020
I don't really care about being locked into an OS, as that's why I chose it. Plus, data doesn't need to be locked in ie markdown files for text, etc. Even with Obsidian and VScode, there are notable o...
The demise of native coded apps
12/6/2020
I'm here to lament the demise of OS specific coded apps. There is an increasing trend to use Java, Electron, Catalyst and the like. Why do I dislike this? Because the user experience in general is pan...
Outlinely gets a (minor) update
12/6/2020
Although I really like Craft, a few things stop me from using it:
1. £45 per year
2. Accessibility is very limited. You cannot change the font size in app. You can per block, but you cannot chan...
The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done
11/23/2020
I personally find the computer based GTD just doesn't work for me. Too much tinkering, plus you cannot view your lists at a glance. I use an A5 Black & Red notebook and follow Mark Forster's Final Ver...

Over time I find myself increasingly turning to paper. Yes you heard right, PAPER! There are a number of reasons for this:
1. You find have to find things on a computer. Nothing is ever in front of y...
Evernote reinventing itself

Well, having downloaded the new version today, my move away from Evernote is now set.
Firstly, I cannot stand electron apps. I'm a keyboard user and often simple shortcuts just don't work. Secondly, ...
Roam Patrol!
10/12/2020
I think there is also an element that people have always wanted to be able to see which notes they have made that relate to other notes they have made. The Zettelkasten idea is extremely powerful. Wha...
I've been using Setapp quite happily for a number of years. I've just cancelled my subscription as they've separated macOS and iOS. This means that you now pay per device making it unviable. As I don'...
Obsidian in public beta
10/3/2020
For those starting fresh are there feature advantages to Obsidian over Roam (apart from price and local storage)?
I mainly work with notes and have looked at Notion (an application tinkerer's nightma...

macOS Checklist App
10/2/2020
I create and upload 3 videos a week. As part of the process I need to process the videos and place them online, plus create a new blog post etc. These are repetitive tasks. My current list for one of ...
macOS Checklist App
9/23/2020
Thanks guys.
I like anylist, but don't want another subscription. I use Todoist, but hit the 300 tasks per project buffer using it for checklists within a project.
I've got OmniOutliner and am givi...
macOS Checklist App
9/22/2020
Hi All,
I'm an extensive checklist user. Every week I have lots of jobs that follow the exact same workflow. I have one checklist with about 70 items.
Can anyone recommend a good macOS app for check...

I use Eaglefiler for this purpose. I currently have 62K emails in there and it opens in 5 seconds. Search a is little slower, but still good.

I noticed the pricing goes from $60-$100 per year!
I'm currently have it on Setapp, so it'll be interesting to see what happens there.
Personally, I won't be subscribing. I found it to clunky to use...
I am working on some teaching documents with another user in India. We both have Nisus Writer Pro3 (macOS) which is the format the documents are in. I thought this would be rather easy, but Dropbox do...
I dropped using all Omni apps a while ago when the prices went through the roof. I had OO when it came free with my mac and it was my everything app. I paid for upgrades, but over the years they kille...
Buying macOS Software now?
6/30/2020
I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned with Apple. Catalina has been a disaster for me, despite a clean install. Their 48% markup also doesn't sit well. I don't like that they now solder RAM into the...
