Rediscovering FoxTrot Pro
3/8/2019
DEVONthink Pro does have a great concordance function, it's true. But having rediscovered FoxTrot Pro, I'm wondering why I allowed myself to forget it in the first place!

Ah, thanks for that, Paul. I'll take another look at my setup - could well be it needs optimising.

Okay, this is aimed exclusively at Mac users, because alas, FoxTrot is Mac-only. But it's a little eulogy for this really very impressive program, which is the Mac's answer to that most august and pot...

He's got some lovely ideas - he was kind enough to send me a draft screenshot. It's going to look as good on Mac as it does on iOS!

No, I took note of your warning and intriguing though the app is, haven't taken the risk of installing it.
You're right that it's all too easy to be lulled into trusting developers who may not have y...

Hm, interesting, washere. I assume you've discovered this spyware by testing the app?
The GitHub site looks fairly innocuous (https://github.com/burtonator/polar-bookshelf), and the product looks qui...
"Seeking the productive life"
3/5/2019
Well, Wolfram's astonishing personal archive, file/ing systems and discipline have made me feel very inadequate. True, I have records going back decades, but nothing like his furiously integrated, mas...
"Seeking the productive life"

Wow, his preferred method of collaborating with his staff looks very cool (Wolfram Notebooks – more at http://www.wolfram.com/presenter-tools/), but it's also rather expensive, even for purely p...
"Seeking the productive life"

Fellow forum members who are interested in life management (and let's face it, that's part of the appeal of CRIMPing, in that CRIMPers are ultimately seeking to manage their lives) might find some use...

Note that MJ is now up to beta 3, and Dan mentions (in the same Mariner blog post) that the final version will be released shortly - free to existing users! Happy day!
And just to reassure you - I sy...

Migrate from Dynalist to Outlinely
2/28/2019
Outlinely is very good, but ironically, I find I've moved the other way, from Outlinely to Dynalist. Why?
Because Outlinely is a subscription app, and I'm now trying to remove as many subscriptions a...

Oh dear, it's sad to see this promising little project mired in such silliness.
I suggest it's time for us all to step back and reflect on an app that was, in its time, truly revolutionary, but now, ...
Notebooks for Mac 2 beta available
2/25/2019
Hm, I'm surprised - I'm using beta 3 of MJ and haven't had any problems up till now. But yes, I'm very much hoping the iOS app gets an update in the near future. DayOne has always been very slick, des...

Yes, this is a big failing in a wide variety of otherwise perfectly competent apps. It's one of the very strong points of both MacJournal and Notebooks – both of them immediately highlight ...
On the whole, I'd agree with you - except that a lot of apps add their own share extensions to Safari, representing a kind of underground garden of extensions. I have, for example, buttons for Bear, D...
Notebooks for Mac 2 beta available

Yes, I know what you mean - both gave the impression of being slightly old-fashioned, especially as other neat apps came out.
Well, the Notebooks 2 beta certainly looks more Mac-like - and above all,...
Notebooks for Mac 2 beta available
2/21/2019
Dang, it's an exciting two-horse race between Notebooks 2 and the latest version of MacJournal (beta 2 of 7.0, released this month). They're both very attractive, very powerful, and quite similar.
An...

Ah, no, I withdraw my "rats"! - I see that none of the free options listed cover Safari. But they're very useful for users of Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge.
Ah, okay. Rats, knew I should have had a net-sniff first...
Thanks, satis!
Cheers,

On a related but not really all-that-similar topic, I can recommend (for Mac users only, I'm afraid) Tabs to Links, a tiny utility that compiles a list of all the links in your multiple Safari tabs an...

That's a better description. Notebooks includes Markdown, along with many other super-flexible features, precisely because it aims to be as adaptable to users' needs as possible.
Personally, I like t...
