Yes, that's an entirely fair point. I'm hoping that the wonders of iCloud will be revealed in all their glory with the advent of the "Files" app to iOS 11 and the opening-up of iCloud to sharing (...
Hm, I'm not so sure. I get the impression that Microsoft really have gone all-in for the Totally Cloud-Enabled approach to pretty much everything. Whereas on the Mac, there is still a fairly clear dif...
Interesting, Dellu, thanks for the info.
Resurgence of Chronos
8/29/2017
I honestly thought Chronos had died, but here they are, back with a new app: NoteLife. Quite a nice encrypted notes manager for macOS/iOS, using the folders/tags principle (not unlike Keep It, ironica...
Yes, I would agree with Dellu here; I have a number of apps I'm very unlikely to ditch (although the proportion of time I spend using them does vary quite a lot), and then I experiment with others, ju...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/21/2017
Sorry, I didn't finish off my authoring thought. Something like Keep It is ideal for authoring, in many ways, because notes can be edited in separate windows, or in separate tabs, or both. Although it...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/21/2017
Have to say that the new Keep It (I'm playing with beta 2 at the moment, alongside my usual work) is quite a nice authoring tool in itself. There are still a few bugs (I'm making a list), but it's alr...
Actually, the updated Together (sorry, Keep It) looks quite interesting - the list of new features is fairly extensive. I'm delighted it's under active development; Together is one of the better info ...
Interesting - the new name is very close to "Keep Everything", one of Together's closest competitors.
While that's true (the lifestyle for adult children thing), it appears that CRIMPing is also a very broad category. I use various tools discovered in the process of CRIMPing to do various different th...
Standard Notes

Not that I'm aware of for those platforms - from that point of view, you're definitely on to a winner. The subscription would probably be worth it.
Standard Notes
8/16/2017
I've looked at it, but to install the nice folders extension, you need a... subscription!
Aargh!
Ah, perhaps Prion is right and we've all been grotesquely spoiled by the plethora of good-quality, relatively low-cost applications that have proliferated on the market for the last few years. I am re...
Yes, this is disappointing. But put it down to Apple's ongoing refusal to allow upgrade pricing - I think that's at the root of this issue. It makes the whole relationship much more binary. And of cou...
That is a bit f---ing tragic, I must say. I always hoped Tree 2 would evolve into an iOS app. Clearly not.
Let's hope the long-hoped-for Gingko app appears in the not-too-distant...
Things 3 is released
8/2/2017
Firetask's project view is definitely its strongest gambit, however. This is, if you like, the equivalent of a "separate window" - you can see the full range of notes and tasks for each project conven...
Things 3 is released
8/2/2017
I agree, that's the nice part of Things. But I've found it's less well-optimised for those with lots and lots of tasks; I'm constantly switching from one set of tasks to another, which probably explai...
Things 3 is released
8/2/2017
Coming back to what Luhmann said about start dates, I find this is very well catered for in the slightly daunting but impressively comprehensive Firetask.
It's not desperately well known, but the lat...
What an interesting development. Grrr, Microsoft are SO annoying! I hope they don't do to OneNote what they did to Wunderlist. They showed VERY poor judgment there.
Onenote Mac now has the separate windows
7/31/2017
I agree that Bear's database system is a bit irritating compared to e.g. Notebooks, where notes are kept as separate files in separate folders.
On the other hand, Bear's own search engine is excellen...
TickTick steadily improves
7/20/2017
Ah, okay, just discovered the duration thing, tucked away in the web version (not immediately obvious by any means!). It hasn't made its way to the desktop version yet, and I haven't had time to check...
TickTick steadily improves
7/20/2017
Oh, that's interesting - I hadn't realised it did duration; I've been looking for the feature, but it's not immediately obvious. Have to check the website. That could be very useful!
As for subscript...
TickTick steadily improves
7/19/2017
Okay, so in my wild attempts to find the "perfect" task/notes manager, I have (as you all know) veered madly about experimenting with all kinds of solutions.
Only to find myself returning to TickTick...
ScribblePost might suit some people
7/19/2017
Just discovered an interesting Australian app (for macOS, iOS and Android) that works as a kind of combination notepad plus task manager, using Markdown as its basic syntax plus a lot of tagging.
Its...
CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?
7/13/2017
Absolutely, Steve.
The various insights into discipline are fascinating - not least because sports coaches are now looking very seriously at the nature of discipline as expressed through willpower, ...
