OneNote for Mac on the horizon...
3/24/2014
Ah, thanks for the tip on that. I haven't yet tried installing Onetastic on 2013. I'll play with it a little later. I'm still annoyed to discover OneNote 2013 doesn't automatically use all my Office 2...

As Steve reports, OneNote 2010 goes on running perfectly happily alongside 2013 (just as well, because I've got some additional macros installed in there).

Ha! No sooner had I written that than I tried to create a new page in one of my local notebooks, and sure enough, the little message 'Subscribe to Office to continue using this notebook' popped up. Ev...

Strange: I have a mixture of local and OneDrive notebooks, and haven't received any such message (so far!).
I'll let you know if I do!
And as Graham says - despite Microsoft's efforts to persuade yo...

It must be said, there are various ways round the MS restrictions, for example by creating notebooks from other OneNote clients (e.g. Outline+ or MobileNoter). You can do that from iOS, too (the iOS v...

Oh wow, that's profoundly disappointing. I still use 2010, which (as you say) I paid for and is very good.
So it's pay wads of dough to Microsoft for Office 365 (whether you want the whole thing or n...

From what I've read, it doesn't have drawing/sketching or proper outlining (sigh!); so it's actually much closer to the web or iOS versions than the Windows desktop version.
For those who want someth...

It's also worth bearing in mind that Notebooks (yes, my fave!) can act as a file manager/previewer, as well as a notebook and to-do app. Because it uses the underlying file system to organise its note...

According to German magazine 'Computerbild', both Mac and Windows desktop versions of OneNote will henceforth be free. Dang, that's cool!

Yes, it's turning into a very powerful and clever app (one of those things where you look at it and think: now that's so obvious, why didn't somebody think of that before?! Like all the best apps). I ...

Which just goes to show we CRIMPers were right all along!
After all, how much more of a mixed-up mashup of outlining techniques could you have than OneNote?
Not to mention the kitchen sink...

That's true - it's why I also use Outline+ on my iOS devices, despite the fact that together, OneNote and Outline+ take up a fair amount of space! But Outline+ does the drawing bit very well.

Interesting to see Microsoft ramping up the OS X/iOS offerings under the new CEO:

Hot damn, Docear is pretty cool! I love the bibliographical support!
Mind you, I wouldn't be parted from my cross-platform faves, Notebooks (Win/Mac/iOS) and OneNote (Win/iOS/Android/Web and via Outl...
Trello?
3/3/2014
I've tried Trello and didn't really get on with it.
A similar iOS app I enjoy using very much, however - although reluctantly I've not made it my main to-do manager because it's only available for iO...
Chromebook Apps?

You could consider the Asus Transformer Book T100. A very modestly priced tablet + keyboard combination that has outstanding battery life, only weighs 1.1 kg (split more or less evenly between tablet ...

For those interested in Markdown apps, incidentally, WriteBox and StackEdit (both for Chrome) offer two very different views of a similar concept. WriteBox is a writer's app, vanishing away as you typ...

You could try the charming MomoNote, which is also available as an iOS app and syncs happily between iOS and the Chrome app. I'm really rather fond of it! Probably the closest thing to Awesome Note.

This OneNote-a-like is actually turning into a really nice, powerful piece of software. Well worth taking a look at (even though it's not cross-platform yet; it's happily compatible with Dropbox, Goog...
I think there's just too much competition in the online authoring space. Without a mobile app (that supports offline editing), such entrepreneurial efforts are almost guaranteed to fail. Which is why ...
Swift To-Do List is maturing nicely...

I've always liked it, I must say, but been put off by the lack of cross-platform compatibility. What you say about sync and backup is also interesting.
But it appears a Big Step Forward is imminent. ...
Swift To-Do List has been around for a long time, enthusiastically marketed by its developer. It's a nice program, hitherto limited by being confined to Windows only. But that's not necessarily bad - ...

Tragically, the program you really, truly need is Blackwell's legendary Idealist. Alas, now long defunct! It was described as a bibliographic database, but was actually much more than that - a system ...

I've just been reading your interesting definition of the ideal 'inspiration-capturing' environment. I've thought about it, and would suggest that you actually need an iPad, using Launch Center Pro an...
Yup, that's exactly what it means. I have a German colleague working several hundred miles away: CRD allows me to take control of her computer to sort out problems, install software, or simply demonst...
