Not quite sure why I used the phrase “for my money” twice in the previous post. I don’t habitually use it at all, so… hm, bit weird...
Typora has finally (!) exited beta status, and is now a buyable app. For a very modest $15!
It’s genuinely cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Windows ARM and Linux), and is for my money one of the...

Erm, in most apps you can switch off cloud syncing… Just saying!

You ought to give Effie a try… still a new app, so in its early stages, but mindmapping is very nicely integrated into it. And the developers are very amiable. And it costs a small fraction of T...

Thanks, Sarah, that’s very kind. Well, I enjoy offering potentially helpful suggestions! If they end up being genuinely helpful, that’s even better.
Take care and very best of luck in wha...

Agreed – Taskade are taking a responsible approach by posting regular updates to this specific thread, effectively turning it into a log. Personally, I like this approach, and would encoura...

I’m enjoying experimenting with it. Still very early days, I guess, but the basic feature set is already nice.
And the team sounds very enthusiastic!

Sounds like you’re using Windows, Karel? If so, you could also look at Notebooks (first developed for iOS, then macOS, but also available for Windows), which has a totally transparent folder/not...
UpNote continues to improve

In theory, I agree. In practice, the concept of “unlimited” storage is purely theoretical.
I suspect this offer is based on an actuarial calculation: most people won’t use more tha...
Thanks, Steve. It’s actually a very nice app, especially on Mac/iOS.
A bit like Bear, but with folders instead of (nested) tags and a rather nice mindmapping feature that works with bullet list...

Hm, interesting choice of backup format, but fine.
MS-Word can, of course, read HTML files perfectly well, so that would be my suggestion. You could use Word to save out the HTML file(s) as .docx fi...

Dang, that’s useful – I must try it out. What a great idea.
As for indent/outdent: like many others, I automatically use tab/shift-tab rather than OmniOutliner’s (idiosyncratic...

Thanks, washere – interesting to see Android progress here, too.
People- vs. Project-Centric Email Workflow

This exchange caused me to go back and take another look at a piece of software I experimented with many years ago: EssentialPIM (available for Windows, Android, iOS), a very capable three-pane outlin...
I like the interface revisions – all a big step forward, IMHO.
Cheers,

Nice one, Maurice, especially the Shortcuts compatibility and the forward/back buttons – funnily enough, I was going to write to you suggesting that!
Brilliant. I’ll look forward to playi...
I’ve just been reminded by my weekly NessLabs newsletter that Anne-Laure Le Cunff has lots of useful tips on brain organising/stimulating apps. In fact, she writes well and generously on a whole...

That’s one of the ones I tried: IdeaFisher! I did try it out, but really… the human mind just doesn’t work like that. Trying to generate ideas by ticking boxes? The results are, pred...
