Microsoft Buys Wunderlist
4/22/2017
Dunno so much - Microsoft To Do appears to be a severely emasculated version of Wunderlist. The closest thing to Wunderlist now in existence is WeDo, which is so similar as to be a WunderClone. Althou...
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price
4/20/2017
Yes, because of Outlinely's complex folding abilities, its actual file format is XML, so it's definitely not directly compatible with Markdown etc. However, it does export Markdown, as Paul says.
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price
4/19/2017
I'm delighted to hear it. Outlinely has become one of my go-to info organisers (along with Bear and Ulysses). I keep trying to give MWeb and TextNut a chance (both nearly as good, but not quite as ref...

True, Chrome OS is pretty cool. But as you say, the side-by-side PowerPoint/Keynote trick is a no-go (at least for the time being). And what would I do without my massive DEVONthink databases? Well, t...

Ha, yes, I entirely agree about your development points - I remain totally unable to see (and I'm not even a developer!) why the App Store shouldn't enable upgrades. One-off payments are nice, but sca...

I've just finished translating a very large presentation in Keynote, over 110 slides, full of graphics, videos etc.
At a certain stage in the process, this involved putting the German original up alo...
Devonthink To Go or Bookends on Tap
4/9/2017
I note that Bookends is compatible with DEVONthink in any case, so if the various cunning synchronisation ploys described on the Sonny Software website don't work for you, you might find you can integ...
Omni Outliner 5 is set to launch
4/7/2017
There was a nice simple switch in the Beta version, but I suspect it isn't there in the final release.
Cheers,
Bill

Just acquired the Essentials version, which is cheap and pleasant.
Very basic compared to e.g. Outlinely, but then you're only paying 10 dollars/pounds/other currency of your choice, and not a subsc...
New mind-mapping app
4/6/2017
True, Paul, but on the other hand, you have now (very slightly) advanced the cause of CRIMPing, than which what is more valuable?
Pizza or CRIMPing? I know which I'd choose...
Now, should I go for ...
New mind-mapping app

Hm, just discovered an intriguing version of Xmind for macOS and iOS: Lighten (lighten.xmind.net).
Apart from some apparent hiccups on the Mac, it looks like a nice - if fairly basic - piece of softw...

I'd agree with Paul on this. DTTG is your (highly flexible) friend.
Thanks, Chris. You're a Magic Bunny with Enormous Furry Ears!
Cheers,

Those nostalgic for Idealist might want to check out Qercus, which is still under development:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qercus/
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

Nothing beats Bear for search, however - everything beautifully highlighted, both in the results summary and in the note itself. Lovely!

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...

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!

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

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...
