Another interesting option for Mac users is Canary Mail, which is also a single app (like Spark) – i.e. not an e-mail account aggregator (like Hey and others). Canary specialises in security, bu...
Oops, sorry, I’ve just realised it’s available on Android, too!
To return to your original question, Lucas: I guess the closest thing to Hey is Readdle’s Spark (available only for macOS and iOS, unfortunately). You’ll find a description here: https://s...
RemNote (Roam-like web app)
6/26/2020
That does look pretty cool. Alas, online only (which will suit some people – Dr Andus? – very well). But interesting, and hopefully they’ll release a desktop/mobile version at some p...
Heh, you got that right!

Another new app
6/25/2020
Sorry, folks, should have made that clear: Notebag is actually available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Another new app

Well, you may be right, but I’m quite impressed that versions are available for macOS, Windows and Linux.
That suggests he’s fairly serious.
And there are plenty of individual developers...
Yojimbo 4.5
6/25/2020
Hey, nice to hear! Thanks for update…
Yojimbo’s a macOS app, for those who don’t know.
Another new app
6/25/2020
Well, it’s a nice app and he’s responsive to suggestions, so enough with the cutting criticism already! Maybe he has picked up on Roam/Obsidian - good for him: it’s not long ago that...
Another new app

Yo folks,
Re: Notebag (macOS only pro tem)
Yes, I recently took advantage of an offer by Mariner Software to buy a macOS app, Notebag, for a reduced price. It looked decidedly interesting (not least...
Sorry, I should make it quite clear that you can choose to export (a) an individual note, (b) a folder of notes or (c) the entire journal.
If you export the entire journal, MacJournal will create the...
It’s a good app - but I’ve found that unlike Typora, it doesn’t have a universal search function. Which is annoying.
Another macOS app it’s well worth exploring for this kind ...
Hey Jeffery,
Before committing to what sounds like a remarkably clunky process (I use and adore FM Pro, but would never use it for a project like the one you’ve described, not least because of ...
Multicolumn list program?
6/17/2020
Alas, Gingko appears to be on the wane, whereas Workflowy is very much on the rise...
Multicolumn list program?
6/12/2020
Workflowy’s “boards” are much more impressive than I realised. But after watching their video on “fractal boards” (the web page also has a demo Workflowy outline you can ...
Notion.io is my new favorite
6/5/2020
Following Notion’s expansion of the terms of its “free” user policy, I’ve been having a bit of a play.
And yes, it’s an awesome app. Almost ridiculously powerful, but al...
Another interesting new app

(macOS, iOS impending)
Nice new app from an individual developer, currently Mac desktop only (but he’s working on an iOS version). TidyCards is a rather good take on kanban task/project managem...
(Software: iPadOS/macOS)
I recently acquired a second-hand iPad Pro, primarily so I could draw on it. But in actual fact, I’ve unexpectedly discovered the joys of handwriting on the thing! I us...
TiddlyWiki Toolmap
5/27/2020
Interesting links from washere: thanks. I keep a close eye on TiddlyWiki, even though I no longer use it as a key note-taking app.
Cheers,

Interesting new app
5/27/2020
Ah, interesting difference in US vs. British usage there. “Mad about Dana” in BritEng = “Passionately in love with/adoring of Dana”. In AmerEng, of course, it means “Angr...
Interesting new app
5/26/2020
This isn’t, strictly speaking, outliner-related, but it is kind of.
(The software I’m about to introduce is iPadOS/macOS only, I’m afraid.)
A new app is just in the process of appe...
Taskheat
5/15/2020
It is a rather nice app - I’ve tried it out for projects. But there are certain irritations; the behaviour of the mind map is odd and sometimes unpredictable. However, this was quite a few month...
Obsidian gets folding
5/15/2020
“sparks joy” – that’s a lovely phrase, perfectly describing the thrill felt by a veteran CRIMPer when s/he encounters an app that is a genuine pleasure to use! UX is still vast...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
5/11/2020
Well, I tend to use kanban very loosely for all kinds of categorisation. Your approach is more or less standard (like “Intray”, “To do”, “Doing”, “Done”...
This is rough on early users, and disappointing when the concept itself is so clearly exceptional.
It’s interesting to contrast the slow-but-solid Workflowy approach, which is often criticised ...
