Tana public launch
2/1/2025
Just for info, the Android app has just become available for testing, according to a post in the r/TanaInc subreddit.

Superlist
1/25/2024
I've used Anytype extensively, and just had a look at Superlist. Although they do have the "every task is a page" model in common, they're very different. Superlist's advantage over Anytype is that, i...

Another one goes subscription
9/3/2023
It was NoteTaker, from Aquaminds. As Paul Korm says, it's still available on the Mac App Store.
As I remember the history, the devs of NoteTaker and CPN worked together on the original NeXT app and w...
Another one goes subscription
9/2/2023
Development and support stalled without explanation; support forums filled with spam. Then there was a, possibly intended as humorous (it wasn’t) communication with a cryptic reference to Alphab...

The 3 major weaknesses of Notion (deepening on your use case) are:

Oh, he’s on Amplenote now. He started out as a super-fanboy of either Logseq or Roam and he’s been super-fanboying other stuff in the interim. I’m wary of commentary from people who...

Most of this thread seems to be self-certified opens source purists complaining that Any doesn't follow their particular brand of FOSS and people complaining that Anytype "rips off" two antediluvian p...
Evernote system limits

The Server edition of Devonthink Pro has a web interface - for a price
I'll add Anytype - it's just on the point of moving to an open beta. Like Notion, it needs investment to get the best from it. Its main selling point right now is that it's E2E encrypted and will (lat...

I notice that to get "early access" to Heptabase, you now have to subscribe at $6.99/month. I had intended to try it out, but I'm not inclined to sub for early beta (maybe alpha) software. I understan...
This is effectively what “Hide my email” does, but only for iCloud accounts
Roam v. Obsidian
5/25/2021
Roam local uses the browser cache - it's not a full, file system-based implementation. So you can't, for example, select a local location for your database and then access it from other apps.
Data is...
Curio 15 is out
5/5/2021
I may not be firing on all cylinders, but I don't really understand this.
In the old, non MAS scheme, you we paid a one-time fee for Curio which included minor updates. Major releases were roughly an...

Oh, Windows - in that case, none of my suggestions will help - sorry.
This is something I've had to do many times over the years.
You can do a lot worse than Excel (as suggested above). My choice right now would be Curio, from Zengobi. Highly flexible, very visual and ...
Tinderbox updated to 8.8
10/8/2020
For anyone who's interested, Tinderbox from Eastgate (Mac only) has just been updated to version 8.8. No barnstorming new features, but some extremely useful enhancements.
IMHO, Eastgate provides an ...
There's a long thread about this over at MacPowerUsers. Some people are OK with it, but the general tone is similar to yours - makes the utility of Setapp questionable.
macOS Checklist App
10/3/2020
Curio is good for this sort of thing, but probably has too much other functionality
They posted a few hours back that they'll start charging soon, next month they hope, with the stated intention of weeding out uses who don't want to pay the (now confirmed) $15/month.
So part of thei...
