CRIMPing alert: new app looks fascinating!
12/22/2017
I haven't paid for the upgrade yet because I don't (currently) need the handful of features the Pro version adds on. But otherwise I'm using Agenda in anger; it does warn me if I try doing something (...
CRIMPing alert: new app looks fascinating!
12/22/2017
Ha, yes, good point - I'd forgotten about Lotus Agenda. Rather a nice piece of software, back in the day!
I remember spending endless hours trying to tame Lotus Notes (in some ways very much ahead of...
CRIMPing alert: new app looks fascinating!

Oh dear, I recently received an extraordinarily tantalising e-mailer from a company I'd never heard of before.
They've been busily developing an app that appears to be a kind of notes/journal/diary/t...
Tap Forms on Sale
12/20/2017
Sorry, Franz, quite right - I copied the Wim Hof URL for somebody else. Certainly nothing to do with databases ;-)
Tap Forms on Sale
12/20/2017
The latest version is really quite impressive - it's nice to see somebody taking database development seriously in the face of FileMaker's total dominance of the low-medium end of the market. Mind you...
I suppose the only way they could pull it off is by being able to check that you've got a previous version of MindNode on your machine - if you didn't, and if they'd already pulled the early version f...
I've just installed MindNode, after re-reading Paul's enthusiastic recommendation. And lo and behold, what do I find? It allows owners of previous versions to upgrade effortlessly, provided the previo...
VoodooPad showing signs of life
12/15/2017
Well, that's prompted me to get out and dust off my copy of VoodooPad. I'd forgotten just how powerful it is, I must confess. I haven't played with sync yet, but probably will over the next few days.

Manuscripts now free!
12/13/2017
Well, the wonderful Matias, one of the team behind the previously rather expensive but very good app Manuscripts, has just announced that they've found a sponsor and are about to open-source the whole...
RightNote webbooks

Yes, as Pierre says, you need to ensure that the entire Dropbox folder is being synchronised to your iPhone/iPad.
The best tool for doing this is, as I mentioned in my previous remark, Readdle Docume...
Forum information

I've noticed the double-posting glitch generally happens over slow internet connections. No idea why that should be, but it's not a major issue.
Scrivener 3 is on the way…
11/30/2017
Good grief, Scrivener goes WAY beyond just being a writing tool - it's a complete knowledge management system. What with the extensive possibilities for modifying labels, keywords, status etc. of ever...
So, is ConnectedText really dead now?
11/29/2017
Hm, well, while it looks good, it suffers from the total lack of a search function... if you want simple but highly functional, I'd go with TiddlyWiki, myself. But much will depend on the quantities o...
Tell us about your book
11/29/2017
Damn, I'm so impressed by all these unexpected authors. Bravo, everybody!
Scrivener 3 is on the way…
11/29/2017
Cool! I hadn't noticed that, either, but now you've pointed it out, I'm even more impressed!
Scrivener 3 is on the way…
11/28/2017
I'm truly impressed by version 3.0. It's a lovely, subtle but comprehensive rework of an already very powerful app.
I've been playing with the trial version, having barely used the earlier Scrivener ...
Apple Wiki
11/7/2017
Ah, well, I have to confess that it never really took off to the extent I hoped it would.
Colleagues continue to prefer our (now very outdated) Kerio Workspace setup, based on the excellent original...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/7/2017
Thanks for the reminder about iThoughts, Paul - yes, it is quite impressive, and remarkably flexible, too. I've been playing (again), and although I prefer Outlinely for sheer speed and convenience (i...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/6/2017
Yes, I love TrunkNotes, and remain baffled as to why there isn't a desktop version. But it's a wonderful iOS app. If I spent all day working on an iPad, I'd use it much more than I do.
Having said th...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/5/2017
Yes, I think the true value of outliners only really becomes apparent when you can use them across multiple platforms.
Actually, having just run another experiment with OmniOutliner, I have to say it...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners

I'm fond of Outlinely, and use it a lot, but I've sent them a list of things that really do need to be improved.
Glam Development have a history of going very quiet for months at a time. It's very ir...
TiddlyWiki resurgent
10/29/2017
Sorry, Hugh - yes, quite right, notion.so
And you might want to take a quick look at www.nuclino.com, which is similar, but possibly even simpler in concept. I rather like it!

Process Documentation?

Hi Garland,
I've just found another piece of software that might suit your circumstances.
It's a rather neat wiki concept called Nuclino (www.nuclino.com); the basic version doesn't cost anything, a...

Interestingly, Ulysses also produces separate files which are included in Spotlight searches.
