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,

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...
Outlinely for iOS version 1 released.
12/22/2016
I kind of agree with Stephen on this one - Outlinely is very good, and a much more convenient outliner than OmniOutliner (although the latter has useful features for certain use cases). It will be goo...
Evernote Privacy Policy Changes
12/21/2016
One of the nicest apps that integrates with Evernote is Awesome Note, currently available on iOS only (oh, and maybe also on Android - I know Samsung included it on their Android devices for a while)....
Evernote Privacy Policy Changes
12/21/2016
Although looking at it again, I realise I already do more or less all the things I experimented with in Nimbus Notes in Bear.
The latter doesn't support alerts/due dates etc., but is so flexible oth...
Evernote Privacy Policy Changes
12/21/2016
I tried it for a while about 18 months ago, liked the general concept, but found that the search function didn't work properly. However, the developer said they'd work on it, and seeing your post remi...
Evernote Privacy Policy Changes
12/19/2016
Yo Paul,
Well, I don't know about paywalled sites (I don't visit them, ever), but Bear certainly preserves URLs from captured web pages. You're right that earlier iterations didn't, but the last coup...
Evernote Privacy Policy Changes
12/19/2016
As a Mac user, I currently use Bear and Outlinely for general notes of all kinds. I run both on macOS and iOS.
Bear is ideal for storing short extracts from web pages, and for making long lists of ta...
iMindMap10 released today
12/14/2016
Robustly priced, but it does look like a very nicely designed mind-mapping product with some really nice extra features (love the Timeline thingy).
Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links
12/14/2016
Yes, I'm really rather impressed by the latest iOS version. There are still a couple of slightly buggy things, but nothing major – the synchronisation seems to be working well, and the look and ...
Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links
11/25/2016
Yes, the "Search and Navigate" feature is like the "Open Quickly" feature on steroids - it's more like the very powerful Ulysses "Open" feature in iOS, in fact.
I'm glad to hear the developer's being...
Not entirely unlike Scapple, by Literature and Latte (of Scrivener fame). Looks interesting, I shall give it a whirl.

Interesting, Chris, thanks. And there are those who'll tell you the Apple platforms are for the less technically inclined...
They're also for those in search of speed and efficiency. A recent review ...
