Treepad - website down or ???
9/5/2019
Site's back up - but not with good news:
We are sorry, to inform you, unfortunately TreePaad Fun Center has Closed.
There is no easy way to say this but we have come to a point, after seeking profess...
Here's the URL without the tacked-on tracking info:

Wish it had something to do with outliners though!

Is Toodledo dead?

Depends on the price. If the tier they're offering is at an especially good price and you like the workflow, then go for it. They've been around, and limping along, for 15 years, so I doubt they're a...

Ah, sorry. I was not familiar with the brand or names. But I liked the folding shown in that video.

Impressive 30-second overview of the app's folding, functionality:

Yes, FSNotes is pretty good, just $7 I think for both the Mac and iOS apps. Regularly updated, just got iPad drag-and-drop the other day in the most recent update. I own them but still find myself res...

If you have access to an iPhone or iPod Touch (the latter can be purchased refurbed from Apple for as little as $120, with full, as-new warranty) you can use Apple Notes or any number of other apps, a...

Zotero and Mendeley are the two biggest, most powerful and well-supported alternatives.
Also see Citavi, Qiqq, Sente.

I didn't see anything on the website about import, export or backups. It looks like a nice notes wiki with intricate plumbing hidden away and some interesting features (eg ZenKit-like multiple views)....
Write Mapper for Mac/Windows
7/25/2019
One step forward, one step back. Writemapper has increased its price to $50 (up from its initial $27 price a year ago), but at v2.6 it at least seems to be updating regularly.
"WriteMapper has had th...

Now there's constructive criticism.

It's not hard to find out that it's *not*.

Notebooks 2.0 now available for macOS
7/12/2019
Yesterday I emailed the dev, Alfons Schmid, and he said the pricing discrepancy was inadvertent and he reduced the price on his site to match the Mac App Store's price: "the intended price is $39.99, ...
2-way sync is either a technologically thorny problem, or maybe Google charges companies for the privilege. Since Ticktick's one-way sync can be so much slower, I'm really wondering if Todoist is payi...

TickTick only has one-way sync to Google Calendar. Not only...
Stanford's Protege for OWL

I think poo-pooing the continuing security issues of Java are a mistake. It was just in 2015 that Frohoff and Lawrence found a dangerous flaw in the the way data was deserialized in Apache Commons Col...
Stanford's Protege for OWL
7/4/2019
Biggest ding on this project is that it's a Java Runtime app, meaning it's going to be relatively slow, and has intrinsic security concerns (I removed Java from my Mac and only use it when occasionall...
Another ditto. I'm warily using NotePlan more and more, but didn't quite get comfortable with Agenda for whatever reason.
I do think that task/notes apps in the Apple ecosystem should all focus on ac...
interesting long piece about Evernote

We've discussed Notion several times on the site; you might want to do a search.
Personally I find it fiddly and requiring regular pruning and maintenance, as I would any personal Wiki app (which it ...
reMarkable Paper Tablet

Interesting review the other day from MACWORLD. They seemed impressed by it, found it was more like writing on paper than an iPad Pro is. But the $500 street-sale-price was deemed still too high.
