Winterfest sale - Panorama X 12/23/2017

Just a suggestion, but having had a quick look over Panorama X's features, I'm wondering if Tap Forms Organizer can't do many of the same things? For a lot less lolly...?

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! 12/21/2017

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...

Well, well, well - Apple App Store DOES allow upgrades 12/19/2017

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...

Well, well, well - Apple App Store DOES allow upgrades 12/18/2017

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 12/13/2017

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 12/4/2017

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 11/5/2017

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! @Dr Andus The transfe...

Process Documentation? 10/26/2017

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...
