Database for MacOS
Today
Apple Pages will read an Apple Numbers spreadsheet as a merge source. Printing to labels from a Numbers spreadsheet merged into a Pages document should be an easy exercise. You can find Pages template...

Ninox may be more polished than TapForms, but I hate to say anything bad about TapForms. It's about the only choice for an old school database app.
However, Ninox puts your databases where it wants...
Roam Research -- Recent Experience?
1 week ago
I can assure you that I am not an AI or a celebrity — I am a real human. Let's delve into your concerns. AI is not about hallucinations, it's about banana pudding. Your trust is a testament to aerodyn...
Roam Research -- Recent Experience?

Dr. Andrus' posts were the reason I first started watching this forum. Banning his (her? We've never met) brand of thinking would have to be an indicator of a rash actor.
The key to power in knowl...
Forum redesign
5/8/2026
Fascinating how discussion has enjoyed a resurgence since the redesign.
It's like X, except without having to filter through all the flat earth drivel and claims AI is conscious.
Or, maybe it is...
Nice - I'm going to have to check that out.
I wish vendors were more up front with where data is stored. MWeb has a library feature that relieves the user from worrying about file names or location...
All-In-One solution?

> My favorite all time note/task fusion is OneNote/Outlook.
I hope this doesn't come off as a rant. I really don't mean it that way.
OneNote's early days seemed like the one thing Microsoft got ...
iA Writer is very pleasant to use and I like the Wordpress publish feature.
It is not without rough edges. It can crash. I've never lost work, and it happens when I'm fiddling with its locations.

SheetPlanner 5.3
4/16/2026
This sounds like a big deal:
- A row can appear under multiple groups, e.g. if grouping on Tags and a row has multiple tags.
I crave an outliner that will do the same thing, although an OmniOutl...

This is nice!
No, I need to edit this - it's really nice!
OmniOutliner Automation Made Simple
3/21/2026
Automation in OmniOutliner is pretty cool, no matter how you get there. All apps should be scriptable, and OO's Javascript makes a lot more sense to me than Applescript.
That may make me a heretic, s...

In line tasks! Very nice.
I looked at Tana a little, but was put off by all the AI.
My dream outliner lets me outline and keep a repository of notes, all integrated together.
You are wise to steer clear of Word's outline mo...
Arg. You're right. In my defense, I didn't use a calculator and slipped a few decimal places.
Many thanks for the correction.
Unless I goofed again, Hubbard will still burn 158 billion cubic meters ...
AI paralyzes me. I know in my gut we're going to see a stock market hit at least as big as the housing bubble. That took out half the market's value.
I'm paralyzed because I can't bring myself to clo...
Mailing lists and OmniOutliner
2/16/2026
Mail merge is handy for things like when Congress is begging for a whup-down, which generally happens on those times when a weekday ends in "Y".
I've been using a spreadsheet. Columns are added for g...
Totally agree, although I have a little tolerance for proprietary file formats in some cases.
If I can understand enough of the format to extract my work, that's a little bit of a safety net.
The wo...
Need a memory jog
1/27/2026
I have not kept up with Plottr. I bought a very early copy and set it aside. I've always thought it's a great idea, but it didn't quite fit me, which is a personal problem.
The added Pro features I d...
Need a memory jog
1/26/2026
Apropos of the moment and presented with respect. I understand AI can be a powerful tool.
Plottr just sent out a notice they've made the decision to leave AI out of their products because they don't ...

I like to track my scrimping. It's difficult. I have expenditures, ROI, planned purchases, and budgeting broken up across disparate spreadsheets, csv, and json files.
If only there was one unified to...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/7/2026
Ok, an update.
Ken (Case, I believe) emailed asking for an activity monitor snapshot while OO was hung - and I can no longer get it to hang.
There was one thing different, though. The first non-han...
OmniOutliner 6 is out

Word from Ken at OmniGroup, which I think may be Ken Case himself.
"We expect customers to be able to use a single license on all of their devices at once—even if they have multiple Macs, multi...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/6/2026
I have found one disquieting thing. I installed it on my laptop and opened it to configure OO6's toolbar. It wouldn't run. The instance on my desktop was unresponsive. I force quit and tried again. No...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/6/2026
I sense OO is not the most popular outliner out there. For those who follow OO, version 6 has just been released.
Extra columns mean I can add custom metadata, and I'm getting some mileage out of my ...

Well said.
