Good grief! You're right, that's certainly evolved. Oh dear – no, no, I don't wanna look! No – more – subscriptions!

And if you want to stay with a OneNote-a-like model, it's worth bearing Outline (macOS, iOS) in mind; it's OneNote-compatible and has been quietly developing away in the background for quite a few yea...

Heh, I mention Neal Stephenson's "Baroque Cycle" once again simply because Newton is one of the major characters in it – as are a number of leading 17th century geniuses, including the asto...
@satis – I agree, for a relatively new app, it's extremely polished. And unlike certain apps (koff – Ulysses), its search function also searches through the cards. The lack of an iOS ...
Apart from the differences Dellu mentions, OneNote is also a very different animal in terms of its note-taking setup, which is based on a whiteboard concept. The Keep It editor is a much more standard...
Hm, I stopped using KeepIt some time ago due to various frustrations, but the list of features in the new version 2.0 is making me dribble (slightly; I'm trying not to be unseemly!).
Check it out, Ma...
Darren, Lattics has just been updated in the Mac App Store with copious apologies for the crashing issue you described in your earlier post.
They come across as very responsive!
Cheers,

Thanks for your two replies, Dellu – both very sensible.
I was amazed and impressed to hear that Neal Stephenson deliberately eschewed his usual digital knowledge bases when putting togeth...

A very nice blog post by Maggie Appleton on "Tools for Thought". Plenty of meaty stuff to get your teeth into!
22111 should enjoy, too – she agrees with you about quite a lot of things!

Having said which, I've found one of the great journaling apps, which I now use to keep close track of how I'm spending my time during the day (rather than using one of the hundreds of "timer" apps). ...
Heh, thanks, Darren – I'm just a sad, sad Ultra-CRIMPer, fascinated by the whole issue of efficient knowledge management.
Means my own knowledge/task management is a bit chaotic, unfortunately...
Meanwhile, it might be worth experimenting with iaWriter, which has got transclusion. It's a surprisingly powerful app.
Otherwise it would be worth taking a look at Lattics, which is fairly complex b...
Hm, I find OmniOutliner very, very irritating, but appreciate you've probably got a lot of stuff on it!
However, you might want to keep an eye on the wonderful Dashword, the most recent and effective...
Alas, Darren, you're not wrong. Up until recently, it was listed on the Mac App Store (UK), whence I happily downloaded it to install on my new MacBook (the previous one having blown up like a footbal...
You're not wrong. Similarly, I wish there was a way to link not just to sheets, but to individual tables or objects in the various sheets.
It's so nearly amazingly brilliant; a couple of extra detai...
Heh, fair 'nuff – although you can create and use the apps in an iCloud account, even as a Windows user.
Just sayin' ;-)

It does look nice – but it makes me smile.
You can do more or less all the same things with Numbers on macOS / iOS (including the dragging/dropping of paragraphs/items).
And Numbers is also s...

And of course you *can* fold notes, but only from the title – and it's certainly not as easy as it should be (currently you have to use the context menu; once a note title is folded, a more or l...
I'm glad to say that Alfons steadily releases small but often quite significant updates to Notebooks. This sounds like a slightly more major update, which is cool.
One of the great hardy perennials.....
Of COURSE it is... ;-)

I share your doubts concerning the single Ulysses database. I much prefer single files. The reason I like markdown is because of the minimal footprint/maximum accessibility – there are so. many....
Papyrus Author is trying to make itself more competitive by allowing users of the "free" version full access to all the program's many features. The difference between the free and the "plus" versions...
A couple of other apps to add to this: WriteMapper (https://writemapper.com) and TreeSheets (a brilliant, longstanding open-source app based on embedding: https://strlen.com/treesheets/)
