Task managers as general information managers 2/10/2016

Hi Ken, Thanks for the tip, and indeed, I keep a close eye on MLO - but alas, they haven't released a Mac version yet. They're thinking about it, however... Andrew, Thanks for the Chrome extension ...

Task managers as general information managers 2/10/2016

Even better, the web page thus generated preserves the folding/unfolding behaviour of Todoist itself, so each parent task has a little arrow next to it. So you generate complete, folding outlines from...

Task managers as general information managers 2/10/2016

Following on from my musings under Remember The Milk (RTM), I've copied over my last post to a new topic: ----- Stimulated by my last thought, I’ve just had a quick sniff at Todoist again (must ...

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul 2/10/2016

Stimulated by my last thought, I've just had a quick sniff at Todoist again (must get back to work, really!), and yes, it could indeed by used as a fairly powerful outliner. The only downside is exp...

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul 2/10/2016

Having shelled out GBP 27 or so for the Pro version, I continue to be impressed by RTM, although it does have a couple of weaknesses. First, subtasks are very cool. They are infinitely hierarchisable...

Virtual machines for CRIMPers 2/8/2016

Yes, indeed - Parallels is notorious for needing a lot of RAM. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's extremely good, but if you haven't got a solid 16GB, it's going to be... sedate, is perhaps the best wor...

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul 2/8/2016

Interesting. Well, the new version looks pretty cool. A kind of combo of all the best bits from e.g. Wunderlist, DoItIm, TickTick and various others. It's a huge improvement over the previous version...

Virtual machines for CRIMPers 2/8/2016

Veertu does sound fascinating - I shall certainly experiment. Crossover I've got, and don't rate very highly, to be honest. I'm sure there's stuff it works well with, but it doesn't work with the app...

Day One 2 available on Thursday 2/5/2016

Yup, tried again yesterday afternoon, all went very smoothly. Just one of those little glitches.

Day One 2 available on Thursday 2/4/2016

Well, first impressions are very positive - and Day One Two (unconscious irony there, perhaps?) is an attractive piece of software with enough enhanced features to be worth the 2.0 upgrade. However, ...

Day One 2 available on Thursday 2/3/2016

I have to agree with Franz. Mac and iOS developers have an increasingly hard time making money out of the Apple Store (especially for Mac), with no support for upgrades and irritating foibles like "fa...

Card-based productivity software 2/2/2016

Thanks, Steve. It's the one thing that's driven me away from some really excellent task managers, from OmniFocus (which does at least support rich-text notes, but has such a clunky structure in iOS!) ...

Card-based productivity software 2/2/2016

Just to add my two'a'porth. Yes, I love kanban managers, and use Trello extensively with my team. As others here have said, Trello's major weakness is its lack of an overview function (covering all bo...

Yet another Markdown editor... 1/31/2016

All this talk of LightPaper has reignited my interest - I confess I've been using Ulysses and LetterSpace (much) more frequently in the recent past. Well! Imagine my surprise, upon visiting the webs...

Curious Evernote testing qualifier 1/28/2016

I love your point about excluding 35-year-olds, though. But I suppose they would argue that after your 35th birthday, you're technically over 35 (i.e. in your 36th year). An amusing thought, neverth...

Yet another Markdown editor... 1/27/2016

Indeed. And some unexpected news about OmniOutliner, which is about to become a "new" Markdown editor. From DaringFireball.net: > Up next, some cool news for OmniOutliner: >For OmniOutliner, I&#8217...

MindNode as outliner 1/26/2016

Hm, well, reinforcing somebody else's (sorry, can't remember whose, off hand) point about using mindmappers as outliners, the developers of MindNode have just released updated MacOS and iOS versions t...

Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X 1/22/2016

Your mentions of mind-mapping apps have reminded me of an app that is iOS/Mac-compatible, and used to be a really good halfway house between mindmapping and outlining: MagicalPad Alas, in the jump to...

Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X 1/20/2016

I agree about open file formats - very much, in fact. But not so sure about "complicated". I don't need complicated, but I do look for a few things: - modest rich text support (bold, italics, ideally...

Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X 1/19/2016

There's still a dearth of really good outliners for MacOS and iOS. There are excellent outliners for one or the other, but very few for both. Cloud Outliner 2 is okay, but clearly giving some people p...

Year end Outliner/PIM review/roll call 1/10/2016

Yo Paul - you'll find it in the Mac App Store. Actually, more recently, I've started using App for Trello. It's simply an encapsulated Safari/Webkit page holder, but it lurks in the menu bar and gives...

Year end Outliner/PIM review/roll call 1/9/2016

There is something very beguiling about Trello. I've just discovered a rather neat Mac OS X app that makes it even more beguiling: Lists. It's not perfect, but it's a very pleasant, lightweight compl...
