The Case for Using a Paper Planner
4/2/2019
As someone who touch-types, but also takes more and more brief notes by hand (and wow, am I having to re-learn the skills!), I think there is a significant qualitative difference.
But for speed, touc...
Taskade
4/1/2019
Hi folks,
Sorry, haven't had much time to examine Taskade in detail since its most recent revisions. I had a look at one of the early versions and found it attractive, but slightly less functional th...
The Case for Using a Paper Planner
4/1/2019
This strongly reminds me of a couple of experiments I run from time to time:
First, trying to identify a thought before I articulate it to myself. This is remarkably difficult, and shows why certain ...
That would actually be amazingly cool.
Omnifocus as a Tool for Lists, not Tasks
3/24/2019
Hm, yes, ditto to Paul's remark: it's amazing what you don't see. I've never actually clicked on the "eye" icon (me, an inveterate "click it till it hurts" user!)
What a lot of useful options!
Comparisons of online outliners

Somebody remarked that DynaList tags are body-embedded – which is true, but DynaList also finds them if you put them in notes.
Omnifocus as a Tool for Lists, not Tasks
3/22/2019
@stephen
Wow, I didn't know it could import documents - thanks for the tip. Thanks also for the tip about universal tagging!
@paul
I use a top-level item labelled "Archive", into which I drag and d...
Omnifocus as a Tool for Lists, not Tasks
3/22/2019
My wife and business partner - an exceedingly busy, well organised and multitasking person - writes her tasks down on paper. And gets through an awful lot.
As a software-oriented person, I now use Dy...
Suggestion for easy, rapid, high-quality website creation: Nicepage (nicepage.com), successor to the impressive Artisteer.
You can use it to create your own website, either directly (i.e. as HTML pag...
Hm, can't think of anything except Ulysses, off-hand. Lemme reflect on it...
Dropbox Paper
3/18/2019
Guilty as charged! Thanks, Luhmann.
Yes, Dropbox is turning into an interesting alternative to The Big Boys. The Business account in particular has some very nice feature, notably its special web pre...
Ulysses v15 Released
3/13/2019
Exactly, Hugh. What also does, I confess, surprise me somewhat is that Ulysses has its own library system, meaning it effectively has its own file format. So some of these features should, in principl...
Ulysses v15 Released
3/13/2019
Having been a bit snarky about Ulysses 15, I'm delighted to find you can open side-by-side editors in multiple windows (on macOS), and even choose the orientation in each separate window (vertical/hor...
Help with a MacJournal 7 issue
3/13/2019
Never seen that before. But try exiting/restarting as a first step. Then, as Dellu suggests, zooming in/out. Then maybe opening the note in a separate window.
I'm assuming it's something you've typed...
Xnote Organiser for Mac

Also no search function...
Ulysses v15 Released
3/12/2019
I'd have to agree with Hugh that Ulysses, powerful though it is, has some slightly disappointing limitations.
I'm especially disappointed by the lack of linking, and the lack of folding.
It's an att...
Creating your own with TapForms, would be my advice (no subscription, macOS/iOS support)
MacJournal
3/11/2019
Dang, it's free! How could any red-blooded CRIMPer resist!?!
Ulysses v15 Released
3/11/2019
Still no linking to notes? That's a shame. Still, I shall evaluate with interest.
Ah, I hear you, pal! That magic moment when you discover something completely unexpected on one of the App Stores, either in the form of a major update or a brand-new app you've never heard of before!...
Simplenote
3/11/2019
Hm, that's quite cool. I don't use SimpleNote much, but having a "quickie" task platform would be useful, prior to transferring the task to DynaList.
Dang, that's actually quite inspiring!
Thanks for sharing.
Nimbus Note - Worth a look
3/8/2019
Interesting question, Donovan. I did try NimbusNotes not long after it first appeared, and liked it very much. But at that point, they were still a bit chaotic, in that it wasn't clear to me - or even...
Okay, so following my interesting but time-consuming Numbers experiment, I have to admit that I've now switched to... DynaList!
I've become a reluctant but increasingly enthusiastic user of DynaList,...
Rediscovering FoxTrot Pro
3/8/2019
PDF Search looks pretty darn good, actually - and there's a free trial. Oh dear. To CRIMP or not to CRIMP, that's the question... on the other hand, a free trial...
