I've resolutely abandoned Android since Samsung stopped updating my lovely Galaxy Note less than 12 months after I bought it (since then, I have installed CyanogenMod, but don't really use it much at ...
Office 2016
10/9/2015
Hm. That's thought-provoking. Irritated by the instability of Microsoft's Office 2016 on the latest version of MacOS, El Capitan, I've just nuked the whole installation with the intention of reinstall...
Thanks for the tip – looks quite interesting, especially with Markdown support. Could be a useful companion for iOS Markdown editors like 1Writer. I shall experiment!
Aha, I knew there was something else, but since moving to Mac, I couldn't remember what it was called!
Sense, that's what you ought to look at (it's been discussed here before). It's still being deve...
Searching attachments in TheBrain
10/8/2015
Based on these latest findings, I'm quite glad I haven't paid out wads of dough for TheBrain!
Despite many persuasive e-mailings. But I don't find mind-mapping apps anything like as useful as other p...
Well, I think most of us here are very happy to discuss any information management approach, and you'll find plenty of discussion of touch-based outliners here, too (OmniOutliner, Cloud Outliner, Magi...
Evernote reinvents itself again
10/7/2015
Thanks for the tip about 'Rework', Alexander - I've just finished reading it and it acted as a very welcome perspective realignment tool!
I note, mind you, that 37signals have now focused entirely an...
Evernote reinvents itself again
10/1/2015
Or possibly sooner. Especially since - by a completely random chance - I've just discovered that Apple Notes does in fact support subfolders. From all the screenshots, fact that new folders always app...

Interesting conjecture about Evernote, however. I wonder!

The iOS version was released and is very good, but they had to remove the auto cross-referencing function because it slowed the whole app down. Shame, in view of the processing power of e.g. the iPad ...

Sad news for those of us who thought NoteSuite was once the most promising of information managers, with its automatic cross-referencing system and so on.
Here's the link to the iOS announcement (the...
Hi Ken,
That's supposed to be the point of the terrifying Podio, isn't it... ;-)
I agree with you. And to be fair, there are a number of apps that are moving in that direction. OmniFocus Pro, for ex...
Hi Dan,
Yes, you're right, in many ways TickTick is pretty basic, and although it has many of the features of more "advanced" task managers, it doesn't have all of them by any means. It doesn't even ...
Evernote reinvents itself again
9/23/2015
I suspect this is a somewhat alarmed (and slightly belated) response to the new Apple Notes in iOS (and shortly in MacOS).
Not as flexible as Evernotes in some respects, but much more convenient.
On Todoist, it's also worth mentioning that comments can be very long and multi-paragraph. That **doesn't** seem to affect response times.
Hi Ken,
- Well, sort of. That is to say, a note in TickTick can be one of two things: a great big note field for anything you care to write, OR a checklist of subtasks
Now, that may sound limited (a...
Oops, no it's not, you can also enter a URL and then put a name after it in brackets, e.g.:
www.google.com (Google)
and all you'll see in the text is the name, not the URL (the name acts as the link...
It's worth mentioning to those who don't know that Todoist does support some fairly rudimentary rich-text formatting, using markup code (not sure where it comes from, but it works okay both in task na...
I'd entirely agree with that. If a bunch of users have highlighted shortcomings, it's clearly in the developer's interests to improve them.
And I have a similarly suspicious view of natural language....
Good things about Todoist: the nested hierarchical view (if you click on a folder, you can see the full hierarchy of child folders and their contents in the view/editor screen).
Bad things: that only...
Have to say, I agree that the new version of Todoist is a huge improvement, above all because it's faster and more consistent across platforms.
It now has proper folding in its Mac and iOS incarnatio...
iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"

And an interesting article on the professional comic artists' take: http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/10/technology/apple-pencil-stylus/index.html
iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"
9/10/2015
Interesting. And I'd certainly agree that iPads haven't really made it beyond the drafting/conceptualisation stage for the serious artist/draftsperson. Which, while a useful stage in its own right, is...
iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"
9/10/2015
Yeah, but that's just it, innit? People **don't** develop apps like that for Windows, just for iOS. And in view of the enormous power of the iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro, with their extraordinarily smooth ...
