(Yet another) interesting new app!
6/5/2019
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
5/13/2019
Wow, that's a trick I didn't know! Thanks!
NotePlan 2 Preview

They live in an accessible iCloud folder ("NotePlan"), with separate text (= markdown) notes in "Calendar" and "Notes" folders. So no SQLlite, no tie-in.
NotePlan 2.0

... with NotePlan very slightly ahead of the game because you can open notes in separate windows (a much-requested addition to Agenda which is, for what I gather are programming reasons, unlikely to a...
The Checklist Manifesto
5/8/2019
Again, it's not an old dance, it's a very topical one.
Checklists are old news, of course. But the importance of checklists has only recently been rediscovered.
And yes, good checklists are indeed b...
The Checklist Manifesto
5/7/2019
Well, I think it's a valuable debate, simply because we're all interested in cognitive processes, and the impact of e.g. checklists (not to mention other forms of neurocerebral assistance, including e...
Rediscovering FoxTrot Pro
5/3/2019
Dang, PDF Search's "Export Search Results" option is rather cool. It simply exports the specific pages with search results in them, with hits highlighted. Pages from a particular document are preceded...
Rediscovering FoxTrot Pro
5/3/2019
As I remarked earlier, HoudahSpot is powerful, but much slower than FoxTrot (especially to view found files), and without the many additional features. FoxTrot (especially Pro) has an extraordinary ra...
Fsnotes 3
5/1/2019
This has turned into a nice app. I'm now torn between three neat Menu Bar-based options: SnipNotes, UpNote and FSNotes.
Meanwhile I continue to use UnClutter as a very convenient raw-text note reposi...

Yes, they're not as noisy as some people (a shame, actually), but they steadily work away at it.
Rediscovering FoxTrot Pro
4/30/2019
Wow, that really is disk-space-friendly! I've been vaguely aware that FoxTrot's indices are very efficient, but having it spelled out like that is an eye-opener!
And yes, I've just invested in PDF Se...

Although, alas, the SpotFiles developer appears to have given up (according to the posts on MacUpdate).

I like your thoughtful post on relative importance criteria in search results, Dellu. Interesting point.
Oh dear, PDF Search looks very interesting, too. Love the "save search results as a second PD...
