I was an enthusiastic Curiota user, but I now save interesting tidbits (usually web pages/articles/PDF docs) as PDF files into a specific set of folders (set up as an automatic destination in my Mac S...
All Macs here, apart from an elderly Lenovo laptop that still runs Windows, but only gets taken out about once a year.
The couple of business apps I use in Windows I run in a virtual machine on a Mac...
Forced Upgrades
6/12/2019
As a committed Apple user, I must nevertheless agree that Apple haven't dealt well with a couple of issues:
- the Keyboard Thing!
- the ridiculous Touch Bar
- the lack of ports, in particular of SD ...
Forced Upgrades

CRIMPing fatigue - love it!
And yes, you're right, there is a Windows version of UpNote.
Yes, Bear is charming. I had a lot of notes in it, in fact. But it kind of... stopped. A bit like the wonderf...
Forced Upgrades

One of my favourite models is the UpNote one (sorry, Windows users: macOS and iOS only). UpNote is steadily evolving, turning into one of the nicest markdown editors around (support for images, floati...

infoqube update
6/6/2019
Nah, it's just very boring and translation-specific - a bitext alignment tool called AlignFactory Lite (developed by Terminotix in Canada). The best alignment tool bar none, but of no interest to anyb...
infoqube update
6/6/2019
Ah, Pierre, Pierre, how tragic that InfoQube doesn't run on Mac (Paul's solution is cool, but I can't cope with Windows at all any more; truly ghastly compared to my by "no means flawless but pretty d...
(Yet another) interesting new app!
6/6/2019
With Noteniks, I've not had the instability issues mentioned by Paul, but have discovered that the various fields are more or less useless for filtering purposes. The app doesn't appear to use them or...

Ah, interesting about Hypertexts's iCloud storage. I'll check it out (haven't had time yet). But another irritating shortcoming has made itself apparent - the "search" function only searches file name...
(Yet another) interesting new app!

#soypunk, re: Hypertexts
Yes, I see why you'd want page renaming, but I think that may be overlooking one of the strengths of the app, which is the automation of its linking function. I agree, this i...
(Yet another) interesting new app!

Sorry, Alexander - yes, you're quite right, I ought to have made this clearer...
As for Notenik: I've successfully created new collections and saved existing ones out as new collections. The only ins...

(Yet another) interesting new app!
6/4/2019
Oh, and another interesting, albeit text-only app (no markdown) with a very interesting feature - the automatic creation of hyperlinks from any word/phrase that exists as the title of a note in the da...
(Yet another) interesting new app!
6/4/2019
Well, in one of my periodic crawls through the Mac App Store, I've found an interesting markdown-based notetaker called Notenik. Clearly programmed by a passionate textual note person, it looks unusua...
Noteplan 2.0 is here, on time
5/31/2019
Yes, it's a very nice app. I've been cautiously using it for task management for the last week or so.
My findings:
- it's very stable and reliable
- the functions involving interaction between Calend...
Aquaminds Notetaker
5/28/2019
That does look extremely cool. Let's hope they're also working on an iOS version that's a little more stable than the first one (one of the first serious and complex apps for iOS, mind you - a real ac...
I dunno, the idea of a simple static website generator is immensely appealing. There are a few around, but none that really work easily (with the possible exception of Publii, which is primarily for b...
Noteplan 2.0 is here, on time
5/22/2019
This morning, my system updated to the "fixed" upgrade-bearing version of NotePlan 2.0 and asked me if I wanted to upgrade. So I did (price is very reasonable). And it's working fine.
Noteplan 2.0 is here, on time
5/21/2019
I'm running the new version without any problems, although the upgrade facility is clearly broken (Eduard apologised for that and says it'll appear in the next update).
It's brilliant. That's the onl...
Subscription as investment
5/15/2019
In principle, Hugh, I follow the same thinking. However, when I realised just how many of my subscription apps were essentially offering much the same thing in a slightly different guise, I paused for...
Keychain Access
5/15/2019
Those were the two changes that put me totally off 1Password. No way I'm going to store my passwords on somebody else's server! The ones I've already stored in all kinds of services (yes, that means y...
Keychain Access
5/15/2019
Buried away in Mac users' apps and usually completely ignored is a modest little app called Keychain Access.
Following a very useful tip found completely by chance here: http://www.cryan.com/daily/20...
Subscription as investment
5/14/2019
I do take Nathan/Daly's point about markdown, but there are a fair number of good apps for macOS that support both markdown and rich text (e.g. Notebooks, FSNotes, Scrivener, just off the top of my he...
NotePlan 2 Preview

Wow, that's a trick I didn't know! Thanks!
