Some context: Rosetta was released in 2006 with 10.4 (and I believe was released to devs before that). Ma...

Mellel 5 is out

Looks solid, if a bit antiquated. The ToC-as-outline isn't bad at all

Another new app

nvAlt replacement

Terpstra has been promising the app for a while. The website looks like it did last time I checked, maybe March? The app's Twitter account last posted 'getting close' around a month ago.
Obsidian in public beta

The double-pane preview/output structure will fall away once they implement the Typora-style editor they're working on. But Erica's comments indicate that seems to be several months away.

Another interesting new app

The website seems to focus not on Kanban but on being a visual bookmarking app. Indeed, it looks like a clone of raindrop.io
Obsidian in public beta

Just downloaded the app. It seems quite fast but also very clumsy to navigate. It took me almost five minutes to import a Markdown file into the app: it requires the files to be inside the pre-establi...

Just stumbled onto this Mac/iOS app. A mindmapper with colored tags, dates (and Smart Lists based on date), and it can be used and viewed either in task/outline view or mindmap view. Free trial downlo...

Gingko is MIA. I purchased the Gingko2 desktop app 51 months ago and its development has crawled forward, and it remains incompatible with the online version.

I came across a post related this topic, on top note-taking apps.
