Apps for Retirement
1 week ago
It would be useful to zero in on your budget and what kinds of apps you _like_ to use, and what specifically you might need to do that Apple products don't. For example, I know people who prefer to wr...

RIP to the original dev (https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/02/16/martin-pilkington-rip/) and I wish it success but I'm wary. I own a couple iOS and Mac apps by Troughton-Smith and some are good, some terri...

Database for MacOS
6/5/2026
Ninox seems like a good all-in-one choice but remember that Tap Forms Pro ($50/yr) is Apple Silicon-native. I'm not sure how you're doing mailing labels now but export to CSV is easy and then you coul...
Roam Research -- Recent Experience?
5/26/2026
I get better answers with AI search, and that's what I lean towards these days, but I spend more time searching overall because I need to _verify_ the results.
Sometimes the results are complete, ...
Kosshi Is Database-Backed Outlining
5/26/2026
It looks great, and $25 for Mac/iOS/iPadOS seems very reasonable. Dev answered a couple of questions about it on Product Hunt.

I'd say its the contrary. Without reliable recurrent subscription revenue devs are starved of funding, and if anything they need to bank new features to have ready when preparing releases in order to ...
Alfons Schmid's Notebooks
5/5/2026
I used the app through Notebooks 2, and although the dev gavr free updates to version 3 I'd already moved on. I did find it a very nice and *very* fast app for both Mac and iOS, and its cloud-sync agn...
For longform writing I value my own choice of fonts and background colors, which is why I mainly stopped using IA Writer years ago. I purchased the IA apps in 2017 ($9.99 for the Mac app, $3.99 for t...

Logseq DB Update?
5/1/2026
I believe as long as you're on the $5 Logseq tier (or $5 Github backer tier) you have priority on a TestFlight invite. Since TestFlight is limited to 10,000, and Logseq is popular, there's no guaranty...
Logseq DB Update?
4/28/2026
Logseq just posted an update about their splitting into two versions, Logseq OG (the file-based version), and Logseq (the database version). With this change, Logseq is putting its og version into ma...
All-In-One solution?

You put forward a very ambitious set of requirements and you may find it helpful to prioritize or trim requirements. Better, perhaps think in terms of using more than one app; most productivity tools...
All-In-One solution?

Check out NotePlan 3 ($99/yr) and Amplenote ($70–$120/yr). Both offer Mac, iOS, web, and Android apps (Amplenote also has a Windows app). Amplenote is cloud-first, whereas NotePlan is local-first and ...
Forum redesign

Looks good!
FYI an update to Task Board for Obsidian (view all tasks on a single board) just came out with swimlanes for its kanban board:

A couple of additional thoughts.
I wanted to explicitly mention "Local-only Knowledge Bases." RemNote allows users to host their data locally rather than on the cloud. If a user accidentally toggled ...
Based on how modern software (specifically Electron-based apps like RemNote) functions, I believe you are almost certainly misinterpreting standard application behavior as malicious spying.
