Tana public launch

Absolutely! I utterly repudiate the idea that I’m a nihilist. And yet I have just spent a couple of hours wrestling with the impressive but somewhat erudite Anytype (multi-platform, open-source,...

MyInfo Is My Choice

Interesting – reminiscent (in general features) of MacJournal, also an oldie but goldie. But the tagging is much more sophisticated.

Amplenote

Heh, there’s an Obsidian plug-in which allows you to do the same thing (can’t remember offhand what it’s called).

Well, that in itself is a jolly good reason for doing something ;-)

Apple Notes Has Folding
1/8/2025
A quick test (with all “locked” notes unlocked) showed that Exporter does still work. It successfully exported 814 of my 820 notes, and put the 6 others in a “Failed Exports” f...
Great news, Maurizio! Your industry and the steady evolution of Zavala do you credit!
Cheers!

Apple Notes Has Folding

Ah. Also worth mentioning Obsidian’s “Importer” plugin, which does a fairly good job.

Yes, I find Time Machine pretty much hopeless. There is, however, a nice little utility available on the Mac App Store called Exporter. It will export your notes to a number of different formats (incl...
Cross-platform apps and privacy

Aha. I’ve just discovered the “Remotely Save” plugin, which does (apparently) allow you to sync a local vault on e.g. iOS with a remote Obsidian vault (on e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, Goo...

Thanks for the suggestions, people.
I’m currently looking seriously at buying an Obsidian Sync subscription – it is end-to-end encrypted, apparently, but a full subscription is quite expe...
What's Up With Walling?

I’ve just had an e-mailer from Walling promising all kind of great new things (“A refreshed look and feel and an improved user experience”) and asking for beta testers. So there are ...

Love the table – great demo of why Notion is so competent, too!
Couple of thoughts:
- Obsidian does now offer native outlining/folding
- Obsidian plugins do offer calendar integration (ICS...

Slightly scrappy post that may be of interest to some:
Inspired by the Google-free version of Android currently being developed by Dutch company e-Foundation (together with Murena), I’ve been r...

Having played with it a little, “unfinished” is, I think, the right word. For example, incomplete tasks in your Tasks inbox don’t show up in the Calendar view, which seems to be limi...

Yes, I had a quick play, too, and although it’s not as sophisticated as e.g. Acreom (which also has a “forever free” tier), it’s got – as someone already pointed out R...
Slab (slab.com) is also well worth a look, with considerable power available for free – we currently use it as an extranet.
I’ve recently started experimenting with Acreom (acreom.co...

I guess it’s why many (even most?) of us are happiest with a...

ProNotes: Apple Notes extension

Yo @bartb – I’ve installed it, it’s quite nice! The backlinks facility hasn’t yet worked for me, but it’s just been updated, so I’ll try it again. The little t...
