Hierarchies or Networks?
7/20/2021
I agree with @Alexander – hierarchies are more intuitively useful, for some reason.
Having said which, I love the idea of combining hierarchies with a mindmap-like approach: some of the be...
Yes, I haven’t really used my copy of PDF Search very much, because I use FoxTrot almost exclusively, but it’s a very powerful search engine.
Reminds me I must dig it out and give it anot...
I’ve tried it, quite liked it, but was Totally Baffled by the way it does mind maps.
I suspect that’s just me and others take to it like ducks to water, but I tried twice over and eventua...

Is Toodledo dead?

Yes, it’s Chinese, so who knows? Having said which, we’ve been using it for years and it’s proved very reliable. I have no idea whether a team of Red Army specialists are hoovering d...
Slice is focus-first writing software
7/12/2021
@Paul, I’m coming to the same conclusion. Especially after a recent e-mail from Evernote suggesting that they’re going to be refining their subscription model.
We’ll see!

TickTick does all those things, to a very high standard. There are three tabs in the sidebar: Lists (= folders/subfolders + task lists); Tags (yep, tags); Custom (smart lists)
It also has a Calendar ...
As an aside to my previous remark: I am reluctantly concluding that despite its recent tribulations, Evernote is actually a very powerful tool…
I’d certainly take a look if they decided to create an (offline) app, but personally, I’ve foresworn all purely online environments.
I’m quite enjoying my current comparison –...
Heh, I find myself thinking, along with Jos de Blok: “I don’t believe a word of it” (actually, he said that about Steve Jobs’ book, but still).
A quick scan suggests it’...
Notebooks 11 with iCloud Drive Sync
7/7/2021
I have to say that despite my enthusiasm for Notebooks (and I regularly liaise with the lovely Alfons to express it!), I too am not overwhelmed by the linking facility – it really doesnR...

Hey @Listerene,
Well, as @Sarah says, I’m not quite sure what you mean, but yes, for me a smartphone is primarily a communications platform and – as a secondary function – an i...

Well, here are some relevant passages from JottaCloud’s help files (https://docs.jottacloud.com/en/articles/1359359-security-at-jottacloud):

I agree with @satis: iCloud is extremely convenient, and I use it all the time.
But I can’t use it with an Android phone (or well, I can, if I use it in a web browser, but… clunky!).
So ...
Web Clipper
6/30/2021
Interesting: Joplin and UpNote also have Firefox extensions. I too have installed SingleFile!

Thanks, Sarah – no particular virtue on my part, just an ongoing curiosity about all the technology that’s not in my immediate sphere of reference; but sometimes (often unexpectedly, as in...
Web Clipper
6/29/2021
There are several nice options on macOS: Bear, Quiver, UpNote all have great clippers (Bear’s is especially good).
It’s also worth checking out the Evernote clipper (available for most br...

Well, I have an amusing admission. Living in France as I do, but with a business still in the UK, I had two iPhones for my two phone accounts.
Silly!
So I looked into upgrading to an iPhone XR (the...
Mapping System with Attributes

Sounds like you ought to take a look at Notion (notion.so), especially if you want all members of the company to be able to contribute.
It’s deceptive: Notion can be as complex as you want it t...
Nice to see Zavala out in the big wide world!
I’ve been using the beta version for a while, and find it an excellent alternative to e.g. Dynalist or Workflowy.
Cheers!

A significant development with Craft
6/11/2021
Can I just check exactly what you mean by “toggles”? Do you mean the ability to toggle e.g. page headers, hero graphics etc. on/off? Or do you mean the ability to embed folding outlines in...
A significant development with Craft
6/10/2021
No, quite right, I can’t relate to that… ;-)
Nice description of Craft’s strengths (and weaknesses). The pace of development remains very impressive, especially for an app that does...
PDFDiff for Mac

Yes, that’s right, Mr Jaehrling is the developer.
Ah, I see what you mean, there are a few apps with PDF Diff somewhere in the name. One of the more irritating aspects of the App Store, I find...
PDFDiff for Mac

Yo folks, just a quickie that’s tangentially relevant to outliners, but especially to citation apps or equivalent.
I’m just testing out a new app for macOS called PDFDiff (available from ...
