Ah, as many of us have lamented before, would that good old Blackwell Idealist were still available... now that really was the ultimate information manager...
We actually ran our business on it for s...
Kanbanier
3/6/2017
Absolutely agree about Curio, but there's no way it's ever going to make it over to iOS.
And Kanbanier, while "closed", is still in development and works very well between Mac and iOS devices.

I've just started experimenting with a macOS / iOS app combo called Kanbanier, which is a rather nice interpretation of the kanban concept. It uses iCloud to sync between platforms, and this works pre...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/24/2017
Nothing beats Bear for search, however - everything beautifully highlighted, both in the results summary and in the note itself. Lovely!
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/24/2017
Having played around with Outlinely in rich text rather than Markdown mode, it's interesting to see the differences. Outlinely's rich text mode doesn't support underlining, or rich text in notes (note...

2/24/2017
Oh, and there's a "ghost" column on the far right - you can make the main (only) column in Essentials wider or narrower by fiddling about with the margin of this "ghost" column.
That's quite funny!
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/24/2017
Hm. Amusingly, the filter doesn't work if the row with the term you're looking for is folded. The filter simply doesn't find it (reminds me of early versions of Cloud Outliner!).
However, the search ...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/24/2017
Just had a quick play with the Essentials/Standard beta version of OmniOutliner (clearly they've only just thought of the new name, and it hasn't been applied consistently across the product).
It's n...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/23/2017
My own take on this is that it's a reaction to the unexpected brilliance of Outlinely - and the fact that Outlinely development is powering along (at the moment).
Which is a good thing. OmniOutliner ...
Novlr - novel writing app
2/22/2017
Interesting what Dr Andus says about Chromebook users. There does appear to be a kind of "divergence" going on - the opposite of the tech pundits' enthusiastically embraced convergence. And the invasi...
New unofficial workflowy app
2/22/2017
I like Workflowy, but have found Outlinely on Mac and iOS so powerful that I haven't the least incentive to use it (Workflowy, that is).
Outlinely is getting better, too. One of its best features, fo...
DevonThink To Go 2.0 Has Arrived
2/16/2017
Interesting, what he writes right at the end about saving out web pages. I currently tend to save web pages out as articles, printed to PDF and stored in Curiota (a single operation from the print men...
DevonThink To Go 2.0 Has Arrived
2/16/2017
Somewhat serendipitously, good ole' Federico Viticci has just posted a very thorough review of DEVONthink To Go on the excellent MacStories site. He's clearly making good use of the document managemen...
Dropbox Paper
2/10/2017
Ah. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I have had a play. Believe it or not ;-)
It's quite cool, and is steadily progressing. Unlike some of its naffer competitors (Box Notes, I'm looking at you), it ha...

Well well, that is interesting.
Thanks, Paul; I haven't had a chance to play yet, but will certainly do so.
Cheers,

Markdown Tree

It does look quite elegant. Another interesting option that's just come out of beta is Milanote (milanote.com), which is kind of like Curio on the Mac, except not as comprehensive and - for some reaso...
Back, back to TaskPaper
1/31/2017
You're right, Paul - you've quite cheered me up! CRIMPing lives!
Oh yeah, Jesse. Whoops.
Mind you, TaskPaper is vastly improved over its earlier incarnations. I'm actually very impressed by how easy...
Back, back to TaskPaper
1/30/2017
Ah, call me Mr Changeable, but after an increasingly frustrating time spent in efforts to turn Bear and Outlinely into full-scale task managers, I've gone back to TaskPaper again.
The latest version ...
Outlinely in action
1/18/2017
I knew I'd forgotten to mention the other feature that makes Outlinely a genuine competitor to Ulysses and Bear. You can open more than one window on your database, which is extremely convenient if yo...
Outlinely in action
1/16/2017
Well, Outlinely is gradually taking over from Bear as my everyday to-do manager. Currently I store lists of stuff to do in Bear, then put the most urgent stuff into an outline in Outlinely.
But the ...
Terminology for iOS
1/11/2017
Interesting. I sort of like Terminology, but I've never managed to incorporate it into my workflow. Maybe if I was a Federico Viticci and worked exclusively on iPad Pro I would make better use of it.....
MWeb for Mac users
1/11/2017
In principle, MWeb uses iCloud, but in practice, I'm having difficulty making the MWeb folder visible on my Mac (it's created by the iOS app when you specify "Use iCloud" and "Set up Library"). Good o...
MWeb for Mac users
1/10/2017
Yo folks,
Just a quick note to say that MWeb, a promising code, Markdown and blog editor for macOS, has just been published as an iOS app, currently at a very reasonable one-off price (ca. USD 5). Th...
Happy New Year
1/4/2017
Yes, a very Happy and Successful New Year to everybody on the forum!
I too read Paul's list with interest. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing more competitors to FileMaker Pro (now ridiculousl...
