Outlinely gets a (minor) update
7/26/2018
Yes, I see what you mean. I suppose it's a matter of how inconvenient you find it - I only use the Markdown format in Outlinely, because I've found it's more flexible than the rich-text format, and ma...
MWeb for Mac users
7/26/2018
MWeb continues to turn into a decidedly interesting competitor to better-known (but subscription-based) apps like Ulysses and Bear.
The app is under steady development, and a new version has just bee...

Thanks for that, Franz. Hm, didn't realise they were offering another discount. I'll take a look before it's too late!
Cheers,

Outlinely gets a (minor) update

Well, I've been taking a good look at Outlinely recently, as I reassess my various Apple subscriptions.
And I have to say, I reckon it still knocks Workflowy and Dynalist into a cocked hat - as long ...
A journalist outline

Ah, yes, well, (koff, hak), during my halcyon second year, I did (ahem) find myself working to some pretty tight deadlines, so I developed a very similar method to our good journalist in part to get t...

No, not yet.
Journaling, a simplistic view

Okay, that I didn't know - thanks for this rather valuable information! I shall check it out!

Journaling, a simplistic view
7/22/2018
Not entirely true - Lifecraft Pro (derived from Notelife Pro) is also very powerful. But... it's a subscription-based app.
However, it does almost as much as MacJournal, and as far as I can tell, is ...

Very interesting indeed. Reminds me of how I used to write essays at university. Similar purpose, similar principle.

I love the idea of being stout and jolly. I shall cultivate rosy cheeks and a beard... ;-)
Promising new notes app
7/21/2018
Just playing with a very promising, simple but elegant notes app (for macOS/iOS, I'm afraid - sorry!) called UpNote.
It's got a number of unusual features. These include:
- bookmarks that appear in ...
Journaling, a simplistic view
7/21/2018
Personally, I'd be using one of the many excellent markdown writing tools out there. If you're on Windows, you could do worse than the latest version of iaWriter (which is turning into a very sophisti...

On the one hand - on the other, DEVONthink does keep files in databases, which are effectively a single proprietary file (dtBase2 format).
So although you can easily extract files from DEVONthink, y...

On the way, apparently.
Gingko Desktop update
7/20/2018
It's a lovely program to write in, although as remarked already, it could do with a lot more options!
The search function is really a filter function (it finds stuff, but doesn't highlight it; found ...

Yes, looking very stable so far. I did notice a minor bug when I first started testing it a couple of days ago, but stupidly forgot to note it down and can't now replicate it (probably a good thing!)....
But Notebooks *does* handle images, and treats PDFs as embedded files (i.e. you can search and view them seamlessly).
However, I have to say that for me (i.e. working on macOS), FoxTrot is one of the...
Help finding software
7/12/2018
Talking of InfoRapid KnowledgeBaseBuilder, I'm amused to find that the macOS version is still being developed and is now up to version 6.5!
And a remarkably powerful piece of software it is, too. I'v...
improvements to the forum
7/9/2018
That's a nice idea. I can't see everybody remembering to do what you're suggesting, but in principle I like it!
MacJournal
7/9/2018
Hm, yes, it appears to be older than I thought (2016, to be precise).
And yes, I've had precisely the same 100%-crash record whenever I try to change icons (for either journals or entries).
But I ha...
MacJournal

And finally, it has a whole bunch of formatting tricks I normally associate with programmers' text editors in a special "Clean Up" menu, including
- removal of multiple spaces (turning them into one ...
MacJournal

Yup, that was my understanding.
You can also instantly import web pages (as well as any other kind of file) by printing them to MacJournal - it automatically creates a suitable entry for Safari.

Oh, and encryption, too.

7/6/2018
Good grief! I hadn't realised just how powerful MacJournal is!
You can effectively use it as a full-scale info management app. There's rich text and markdown, tagging, templates, "smart" journals (= ...
I would recommend Notebooks like a shot, if the desktop versions weren't so much less powerful than the iOS version. Alfons has been working on a new version for a long time now, but news has become a...
