Dynalist enters the "hobby work" phase
2/28/2021
Good news, Erica – I’m an enthusiastic DynaList supporter!
Moo.do

It is remarkably powerful, although there’s a bit of a learning curve, and the limitation to Google is what (foolishly, in retrospect) put me off. But if you treat it as a pure outliner/info man...
Experience with M1 (ARM) Macs?
2/26/2021
I’d agree with @Listerene – don’t get a specced-up MBA. You don’t need to! Here’s the review I mentioned before (found it in my collection of odd articles; it was 57 apps...

Heh, yes – even the base model with 7 instead of 8 GPU cores is ridiculously quick. One reviewer (I’m trying to remember which one) simultaneously loaded all 53 of the apps he had installe...

Good grief! I’d forgotten just how powerful Tree 2 is.
For example, I’d totally forgotten that you can mix the tree branch (horizontal) view with hierarchical outlines as you prefer. By ...

I know, Apple’s been soldering in the RAM and SSD storage for a few years now, to the fury of those who like to tinker with their hardware (and even those who don’t, because it enhances bu...
I was doing one of my “why can’t I find the perfect card-based notetaking system?” trawls around the Mac App Store (in short, CRIMPing), when I found a rather nice little app called ...

Yep, both versions of XMind support extensive rich-text notes, outlining, folding (in mindmaps and outlines) etc.
XMind 8 is quite expensive, but an annual subscription to XMind 2020 is USD 59 (and c...
Tree app - macOS

As I play with it, however, I’m also reminded of Scapple, an app developed by the Scrivener crew. It’s like a mind-mapping app, but primarily textual, and is surprisingly powerful.
Howeve...
Tree app - macOS

Ah, I’d forgotten I still had Tree 2 installed on my main MacBook. I’ve just been playing nostalgically with it. It still works (although the display margins aren’t quite right ̵...

Well, I’ve read an awful lot of reviews, and every single one (even by doubting Thomases) has been wildly enthusiastic.
I’m tempted to get a MacBook Air just to avoid heat and fan noise (...
Indeed! It’s also worth noting that (as the URL shows), the little treatise was generated and published from directly within Craft itself. The same applies to their help files – all genera...
And Craft has just become directly relevant to this forum by introducing outlining – in the sense of folding. This is in addition to its ability to perform infinite nesting.
The latest update h...

Ah, yes, I forgot about Todoist!

Agreed. Why not read through discussions on this forum for ideas?
We cover a spectacular range of tools, and also discuss various use cases and processes.

Also worth mentioning that TickTick now supports Kanban boards.
TickTick is, yes, Chinese, but supports every platform under the sun and is remarkably powerful (tags, markdown, subtasks, excellent s...
Ah, well, I have good news there: themes are on the roadmap, and there has been quite a lot of related discussion on the Discord forum – Eduard himself is very much in favour.
But – ...
Heh heh – I’m afraid I’ve made NotePlan (macOS/iOS) my definitive task management application, even though we use Pagico at business level.
The folding just makes an exceedingl...
Oops! Thanks for the warning. I’ve only got test data in there at the moment, but it’s a nice outliner.
P.P.P.S. Oh, and a few notes as well, just to show that it supports them. Incidentally, an icon for “note” would be good in the menu bar, too, for when one is working visually rather than ...
P.P.S. I’d suggest changing your screenshot to show some rich-text formatting – good from a marketing point of view (you’d be amazed how few people will notice the big B and I in the...
Love the new search function in V0.11.0 – bravo!
Although it is still a bit bare-bones: highlighting would be fave! Or failing that, a filter function (so only those items with the search ...

Wow, that takes me back – I used to use the desktop app regularly as a copywriting tool. But now it appears to be restricted to online only. Shame.

WriteMonkey gets better and better

I never used earlier versions enough to be able to advise you on changes, but the latest version is supposed to run on Mac. However, my attempts to fire it up and get it working have come to nought, s...
