BYOK app
1/7/2025
An update - it's a web app. More power to those who find solutions in the cloud. For me, local only is best, local first is a minimum requirement.
BYOK app

The BYOK writing device folks have announced a companion app to the BYOK mobile writing device.
The video and related information can be found on the BYOK's web site, byok.io.
It might be easy to mi...

Interesting. I've been thinking about a pure Python Zettelkasten. I can't install unapproved software on my work laptop, and company approved notetaking stops with Notepad++ and OneNote.
OneNote's fa...
Best Wishes for 2025 !

Many thanks to the scholars and artists, writers all, who have shared so many wonderful ideas here. I've benefitted much.
Some of Mellel's own literature says it's not for everyone, and my addiction to it is not entirely product based.
When I first looked at Mellel, either version 3 or 4, I had the pleasure of a short e...
Scrivener is highly recommendable.
That said, I don't use it for the reasons you cite and there's one other thing, very silly of me.
There is a style in Scrivener called No Style. I really like styl...
I'll second this - nice topic.

MacOS Monterey, here, the latest version my 2015 Macs will run.

The current version of OmniOutliner won't run on my old Mac. OutlineEdit may not be a viable alternative for the long haul. Bike is wonderful, but I have a wandering eye.
So, I've been outlining with...
OutlineEdit 3 released

I regret to note OutlineEdit is no longer in the Apple App store. I believe this one fell by the wayside.
Hopefully, I'm wrong. It was pleasant to use.
Any year-end or Black Friday deals?

Devonthink and related products are 25% off this weekend.
MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next

Sounds like MindNode Classic will continue to serve.
I use it in outline mode at least as much as MindMap view. One thing I like about it as an outliner is I can add newlines in the notes for a node ...

Mellel (Mac only word processor) is on sale for 30% off. Regularly $69.99, now $48.99. You can bundle Bookends with Mellel for a total of $80.49 for both,
It's not like Word. You can use it like a si...

That's good to hear, Paul. Thanks for the clarification.
Note to self - "investigate" before "grumpy" next time. ;-)

I'm always nervous when an app doesn't say up front whether or not it depends on cloud support. It's a personal failing. I don't want the possibility of anyone seeing any of my creative writing in pro...

For about the cost of one month of Adobe Creative Cloud, you may find you can have ever...
Text Block Author

I got Writer's Blocks many years ago. It was the first app of that sort I found. I have fond memories of it, perhaps in part because of the soft focus of time.
Speaking quietly, sometimes I don't use...
That's a nice update to iA Writer.
I've recently done some outlining with my word processor. I use (Mac only) Mellel, which I think handled the task nicely. Many word processors would work as well.

I could be wrong, but I think Mellel Mobile has three tiers. Free, with some limitations about document length and I think the Bookends integration is turned off.
Premium, which is a one-time purchas...

Agreed, Obsidian's extensibility is cool.
It seems a little complex to write an extension, though, and that is what draws me toward Tinderbox. It's pretty easy to write agents.
I confess I'm not a f...

Lineage looks very interesting and it has the benefits of Obsidian's low friction. Very timely suggestion, actually. Over the last few weeks I've been outlining/story planning with a similar method in...

WordStar lost me when it became WordStar 2000. Then came WordPerfect. It seemed like the one true word processor at the time. I hardwired all 40 (!) variants of the ten function keys with control, alt...

Thanks, MadaboutDana - I read a description and The Laundry Files sound fascinating.
Regarding rage against the candle burning low, I've recently redeveloped an interest in math.
