Bear review
11/4/2016
I have it installed on everything in sight, and it's a very nice version 1.0; the last-minute nested tags feature is especially cool (although the concept is slightly flawed; I can't see an obvious so...
Outlinely for iOS
11/1/2016
I think you're right, Paul. I'm looking forward to Ulysses having some competition in this space!
Bear Writer is looking very promising, too. The fourth beta is nice and powerful, with an excellent s...
Outlinely for iOS

I am also very intrigued by their mention of an "interactive sparse tree". Anybody know what they're talking about?
Ah, okay, good old Org-mode explains: http://orgmode.org/manual/Sparse-trees.html
Outlinely for iOS
10/31/2016
Wow, finally. The developer is decidedly unresponsive to e-mails (which makes me smile when I see the exhortation, in the screenshot, to send them e-mails with feedback), but Outlinely is definitely o...
iThoughts version 4.0
10/26/2016
New version of iThoughts launched today (more at http://toketaware.com/blog/2016/10/10/v4-released). Now includes Markdown, which is cool. In fact, although the Mac version is quite pricy, I'm tempted...
Official Simplenote client for Windows/Linux
10/26/2016
Yo, Alex, my man! So when's CintaNotes coming to MacOS? I used it all the time on Windows, but left when Win8 horrified the world. I'm now a very happy Mac user (along with an increasing number of oth...
Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
10/20/2016
Bear Writer Beta 4 is out, and has added a very nice "related tags" feature. Tags appear in a tree down the left-hand side; where notes have multiple tags, they are used to create branches; all the ta...

Congrats, Eduard; NotePlan has just appeared on the Mac App Store.

Maturing nicely ;-)
Elephant Notetaker new updates
10/15/2016
It looks great - but it's a Java app. I don't do those any more, alas. I'm steadily honing down the apps on my systems to exclude Java, Flash and Google platforms that could be used as vectors.
Not s...
noteplan

Yeah! Folding is good!
Making NotePlan capable of folding headers would be dang cool, too!
Keep up the good work!

Any good Scrivener books out there?
10/12/2016
I would second that. The tutorial is friendly, you can scribble in it/modify it if you want to, but it's easy to restore if you find you've mangled it! And there's nothing like doing something hands-o...
TreeProjects is now free
10/11/2016
My dear chap, that's a bit harsh! When I was still a Windows user, TreeProjects was one of my favourite apps - it's a very powerful do-it-all notebook prog that is not entirely unlike UltraRecall, but...
Evernote yet again
10/7/2016
Wow, that was some seriously fast footwork by Evernote's lawyers. Clearly they can still afford them ;-)

Yes, I'd have to agree that the scheduling is a bit confusing. I think it might be clearer if he made the whole scheduling thing completely transparent, using some kind of code (his use of @ is a good...
Oh wow! Didn't spot that – thanks, Franz!
I just wish he'd consider producing a desktop app – I'd snap that up straight away. Gingko is without a doubt the most ingenious writing tool I've ever used/seen. BUT I'm not prepared to live on...
noteplan
10/5/2016
Well, it does indeed have tags, and they do indeed act as filters. In Notes view, you can choose between the default "All Notes" (in the centre of the menu bar at the top), or click on the dropdown ne...
Evernote and the cloud
9/16/2016
... only kidding. I cut my milk teeth on one of the very first IBM PCs to emerge into the wild, back in 1984 (same date as the iconic Apple ad, amusingly enough).

Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
9/16/2016
I've just saved Paul's update on iOS 10 to Bear using the navigation bar shortcut. Now that's seriously convenient!
Print to PDF is built into iOS 10
9/16/2016
Well spotted. That does indeed massively improve the whole research/info-gathering experience on iOS. Hm. Now I'm feeling strong temptation to upgrade my iPad Mini to a big iPad... I shall resist!
Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
9/16/2016
Hot damn! That is a neat feature! Even more convenient than Keep Everything!
And the nice developer has reassured me that Bear will soon have text folding (at e.g. headers), as well as its current ab...
Moo.do does gmail
9/9/2016
Your post prompted me to take another look at moo.do, and I found it's evolved into a very sophisticated app.
I love the way you can have an outline in one pane, and an "agenda" (filled with tasks so...
Ha, I'd forgotten about Papyrus Autor! I've been nagging the developers to produce an English version for many years. I see they're still valiantly trying to get something English out by the end of th...
Oh, and in the comments I find that Andreas Eschbach is a Journler user! I don't know if it's THE Andreas Eschbach, who's one of the best German sci-fi writers around, but it might be!
How exciting!
