TaskMator, the iOS version of TaskPaper, is turning into a very nice app, so I was pleased to hear ole' Jesse's thinking of saddling up TP again. I was going to contact the TaskMator team about their ...
I'd entirely agree with you about the iPad 1 - that was naughty, since they clearly already had the iPad 2 set up and ready to go just a few short months later.
However, my iPad 2 still runs fine. No...
Scrivener for mobile?
10/17/2015
Having said that, in a recent blog entry, I was encouraged to find a brief mention of Soulmen's intention of bringing Ulysses to the iPhone.
Now that would be very cool!
Scrivener for mobile?

It must be unbelievably frustrating for Keith, actually, because screenshots show that they've had early betas of the iPhone version running for nearly two years.
But it's a heavyweight product, and ...
An amusing article on how much money IBM is saving by installing Macs across its operations (5% helpline activity, vs. 40% for PCs, and better longevity, too).

I think you've pinpointed the difference, Andy. Making promises and then losing interest in your own product is especially galling.
Let's face it, there's always been considerable interest in TaskPap...
Office 2016

Paul: yes, I agree that Apple did do damage to Pages and Numbers, but they have made it (gradually) back up over the past couple of years. Numbers continues to be one of my favourite apps.
BUT... bot...
Office 2016
10/13/2015
To be honest, I'm not the one to talk to about killer features, because I only used Office 2013 for a short while before embarking on the beta of Office 2016. (In fact, that might explain why I had pr...
Atlas.ti
10/12/2015
Hm, while Quirkos isn't exactly cheap, it is a one-time payment, so a lifetime licence. That's fairly unusual. I'm not sure if this means that upgrades are counted, however, or simply that you'll alwa...
Atlas.ti
10/12/2015
Yes, thanks for that. You've encouraged me to go back and look at what I've already got - and in fact, I discover that DevonTHINK does an awful lot of the same things. I must reevaluate the latter, th...
Office 2016
10/12/2015
Without wishing to speak too soon, if anybody else has been having stability issues with Office 2016, I can recommend a full uninstall/reinstall. Apart from saving around 10 GB of hard-drive space, it...
Another option, which has been widely discussed here before, of course, is Firefox's outstanding Scrapbook extension. This would probably be the most resource-efficient alternative to OneNote. But isn...
It appears to be very easy to copy and paste bits of web page into Apple Notes, but I realise that's not necessarily convenient. Mind you, I'm quite impressed by how well Apple Notes accepts web clipp...

This looks like a jolly impressive piece of software, but the prices are truly eye-watering. So I wondered if anybody in the forum actually uses it and can provide any feedback?
Cheers,

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!
NoteSuite discontinued...
9/25/2015
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...
