Simplenote down?
2/27/2024
The most Apple Notes-like app for Windows that you might like is UpNote, which has a one-time unlock for (allegedly) unlimited storage. As I've opined here in the past, that's financially untenable lo...
Joplin
2/27/2024
Open source app Joplin just launched its plugin site, with over 150 plugins available for download, ranging from theming plugins to note-merge, backups, WYSIWYG Markdown, citation integration via BibT...
Curio 28 has been released (Mac only)
2/24/2024
Not bad, although at other times like Black Friday it's 30%
iThoughts discontinued
2/16/2024
The iThoughts app, which was introduced in 2008 for macOS and debuted its Windows verison in 2017, is no more.

It was never quite as pretty as MindNode, but it was deeper...
Superlist
2/15/2024
Also, Superlist is a more elegant, beautiful app, with well-chosen use of color (icons, item-bubble numbering list elements). That goes for the Mac and iOS apps, as well as the web version. Ticktick h...
Superlist
2/14/2024
I've been playing with it and it's pretty useful. For a brand new app it has powerful built-in integrations:
free: Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft To Do sync, email forwarding
pay: Slack, Github,...
Single text file

> "Sounds chaotic, right? Maybe it is, a little.

That phrasing does a lot of heavy lifting, and makes big assumptions about the reader.
There are plenty of se...
TextBundle File Format
2/1/2024
Textbundle was created over a decade ago as a collaboration between Brett Terpstra and the devs at Ulysses to make a format that could be used to move files between sandoxed Mac apps, which otherwise ...
I like the clever way Ulysses handles this: they include a multi-section/document introduction to Markdown and Ulysses embedded in the app, and users can delete it... or hide it in Preferences > Sideb...
Hi Maurice, congrats on Zavala's perfect 5.0 score in the App Store! I was using it lightly on my Mac for a few months and finally experimented with it on my iPad yesterday.
You might consider inclu...

Nimbus Notes Redux
12/29/2023
Nimbus itself calls their changed focus a "profound transformation". Their roadmap is here.

Nimbus Notes Redux
12/28/2023
Numbus have changed their business model and no longer are aimed at the (fleeing) Evernote customer base, where they were once considered a main alternative. They apparently killed the native Mac app ...
Evernote free user limits
12/19/2023
Upnote had prices as low as $18.90 I think for 'lifetime unlock'. Regardless, it's almost impossible for people making similar 'contributions' to be a relevant source of their funding. It's being sold...
Evernote free user limits
12/19/2023
Silicon Valley is full of dead companies playing the 'long game' of money-losing customers until... profit$. Not impressed. And UpNote's current pricing remains untenable, since most of its paying cus...
Evernote free user limits
12/18/2023
There's no way any small company can affordably absorb significant data from large and/or numerous Evernote customers for a one-time $25 unlock while continuing to pay its dev and storage costs (and m...
Mellel 6 released (Mac only)
12/15/2023
Upgrade price is $44.99
I used version 2.x around 15 years ago, and was satisfied with its speed and features compared to Word, which I hated using. Mellel has always been an outstanding word process...
WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows
12/14/2023
We'll see. I'd certainly prefer a native Mac app that takes advantage of UI practices (menu bar, file management, full screen, Dock menus, widgets) over a least-common-denominator Electron app. Genera...

WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows

Looks interesting. Like all new writing apps, an AI 'assistant' is integrated into it too.
A couple of years ago you said you'd written the developer to point out ...
iA physical (paper) notebook
12/9/2023
It should be pointed out that nowhere in IA's post about its upcoming notebook does it say that the paper is fountain pen-friendly. And when you're talking about a niche notebook like this, if it does...
iA physical (paper) notebook
12/8/2023
'Watermark lines' like these are nothing new in the stationery world, but they're niche. A couple of years ago Ghost Paper sold an "embossed line" notebook that looked very similar, and other manufact...

This project has slowed down considerably and I haven't heard of outline integration being mentioned in a very long time. I'd consider using an actual outliner (including newer options like Logseq) wi...
