Ah, that was a brilliant feature – made NoteSuite quite exceptional, in my view. It's a real shame it's gone.
As for stability: NoteSuite is pretty stable, in my experience, and if it does get ...
Curio 9 Released

That's a good idea - a bit like Ulysses with Daedalus (and eventually, I trust, with an actual Ulysses for iOS).
Curio 9 Released
7/1/2014
Ha! Yes, I've always loved the sheer elegance of ThinkBook. That would be rather wonderful.
Mind you, integration of ThinkBook with Ulysses would be cool, too.
And what about Editorial on iOS? Amazi...
Curio 9 Released
7/1/2014
I'm having a thorough sniff around the skirts of the evaluation version of Curio. Very impressive, if a little umständlich (as the Germans say) in some respects. Fantastic search engine. Extremel...

Probably the most impressive aspect of NoteSuite is the exceptionally good search function - very quick, and like Acrobat, gives you hits within a document. You have to use it twice (first to isolate ...

On NoteSuite: I have, I (quite) like. It's easy to put stuff in folders. On the Mac, just hovering over a page in the navigation bar causes a folder icon to appear. If you tap/click it, you're asked w...

Hey Franz,
Sorry, I meant to comment on the Mavericks issue earlier. My MacBook Air only has 4GB of RAM, but runs lots of applications under Mavericks with minimum effort. Very occasionally, noticeabl...

... and having just looked at Curio again, I can't help wondering if a mixture of MagicalPad and Growly Notes wouldn't be a rather more flexible, cost-effective alternative?

I've looked at Curio and, like any good CRIMPer, twitched avidly, but so far successfully resisted!
It's a lovely program, but quite expensive and, as you rightly remark, isolated. Nowadays, that see...

Two interesting questions:
- with respect to workflow from iPad back to Growly Notes: no, I haven't really found a perfect solution. But I use both iWork apps and other note-taking apps on the iPad, a...

Well, it's been an interesting learning curve: Macs are nowhere near as like PCs as I thought they were.
There are some great apps out there. DayOne in particular springs to mind. As far as outliners...
how best to save web pages
6/3/2014
I generally copy the bit of web page I want to save and then paste it into (a) OneNote (which means it automatically also pastes the URL), or (b) Notebooks (which preserves the web page layout much be...
Springpad replacement?
5/29/2014
... although Quip 2.0 still has one seriously irritating feature: although it produces proper, curly, writer's quotation marks, it doesn't do the same for apostrophes/inverted commas, which remain res...
Springpad replacement?
5/29/2014
Here's another one for you, in fact: Quip 2.0. In terms of look and feel, I rate Quip very highly, but it's always been a bit short of features I regard as essential, notably full-text search. Well, t...
Workflowy on Mac...

Just been playing with exporting OPML from Workflowy into Outlinely on the Mac (yes, I know, don't I have anything better to do?!), and it works quite nicely, although HTML codes embedded in the notes...
Springpad replacement?

Hacknote - duh! Sorry, I meant to write Hackpad.
Springpad replacement?
5/27/2014
I'm experimenting with Hacknote, which is remarkably powerful, but a tiny bit slow. But it's been taken over by Dropbox, so should be a keeper - certainly worth keeping an eye on.
I believe that was ...
I suppose that's what I like about DayMap - it could be used as a GTD app (you could name your 'projects' according to the usual GTD labels, and it already has an Inbox), or you can use it to run mult...
Outlinely (for Mac)
5/25/2014
Sorry, everybody, here's the right place to comment on Outlinely. Yes, I agree it's a very pleasant, ultra-simple alternative to huge apps like OmniOutliner. In fact, despite my enthusiasm for Tree, I...
Workflowy on Mac...

... now exists in the form of Outlinely. I'm sure somebody's already mentioned it, but it is, in fact, a perfect duplicate of Workflowy - as a desktop app.
Any Mac users interested in saving out Work...
Hm. Following our interesting conversations about outliners vs. task managers vs. calendars vs. project managers, I've stumbled across a rather nice little Mac app called DayMap which combines, yes, a...
Growly Notes 2 - now on Mac App Store
5/24/2014
Well, now my lovely MacBook Air has arrived , I've been trying out all kinds of interesting note managers. Some of them will have to wait, because they're rather expensive (I'm looking at you, OmniOut...
Sorry, Ken, my fault entirely. The precise name of the app is "To-do Lists", and it is rather good. No sub-tasks, however (but when running multiple lists, I find they're less important, somehow). I'm...
Ha! How amusing, your development largely parallels mine. I still use Trello as my main organisational app, but for reminders and multi-day events, you do need something more immediate. I was using a ...
Taking another look at Ulysses
5/18/2014
Switching to Macs... well, I've got a few reasons:
a) Macs run Windows really well (even Windows 8, although MacBook users would be well-advised to invest in PowerPlan and Trackpad++). My son's iMac ...
