Drafts for macOS Announced 8/18/2018

That Dark Mode next to the white sidebar is a painful visual contrast, but overall it's a really good start. It will never match the power of BBEdit (whose basic version is free) but even now Drafts' ...

Outlinely Get Images 8/16/2018

Any word on how it was updated on the Mac, and how images appear in outlines there? In the MAS there are screenshots with smallish inline images but there's really no info about it.... I'm interested...

Taskade 8/16/2018

I've been playing with it and the app looks *really* good so far. No crashes. Clean and attractive. Not positive yet I want to abandon my established workflow, but I already recommended for its collab...

Notion.io is my new favorite 8/16/2018

> It’s hard to do a comparison to anything else because it’s a blank canvas For me that's a bit of a downside. I like my apps to have more obvious structure with which to work, though tha...

Sublime-looking Finder replacement app 7/24/2018

Marta looks interesting, and the row listing F-Keys commands is an interesting choice, a bit of a throwback. Not bad for free! I've been using Forklift, which looks similar but has a Finder-like cust...

informationtamers.com, mind-mapping.org 7/23/2018

Inspiration? That brings back memories if it's the same app from the ... late 80s? If so, I didn't even know it was still around. For quickly banging out ideas without regard to hierarchy I'll use Mi...

Gingko Desktop update 7/21/2018

Yes, the current look is attractive, but surface prettiness gives way to usability problems pretty quickly. The Help menu should actually gave help in using the app. The FAQ option in Help merely sen...

Gingko Desktop update 7/20/2018

This is the first desktop version I feel comfortable experimenting with, but it's still rather bare bones. The first version, which I bought in January, was pretty raw: no Help or FAQ, Quit was called...

Any Known Alternatives to DEVONthink for Linux or Windows? 7/14/2018
