Todoist+Thunderbird
5/10/2013
Outlook differs from most other mail clients there. The most convenient/universal format is .eml, supported by most mail clients and readable by a wide range of document viewers, which treats each e-m...
I have to confess I ignore the CSV files on Android - I suppose I could use one of my office apps (SoftMaker, QuickOffice) to open them, but on a phone? Why bother. I can still play with the Markdown ...

We're in a similar position. We've used Outlook before, but the entire company loathed it, so we moved to other systems for a while (first FirstClass, which was quite cool until OpenText managed to de...
Todoist+Thunderbird

My working life has just been thrown into turmoil!
Having settled happily on eM Client as my Outlook equivalent (I loathe Outlook), albeit after flirting briefly with the latest EssentialPIM and its ...
And yes, I do regularly try to simplify, but you know what? I'm fascinated by the whole UX thing. So I collect PIMs, outliners and other data management apps just to admire (or not, of course) the way...
Another nice feature - again, recently incorporated - is the ability to link to notes in a wiki-like way (also from spreadsheets), plus support for images. Actually that's two nice features.
Really a...
Yea, verily, thou speakest sooth! Which is why I've been experimenting with a really rather neat little outliner/notetaker that has been mentioned in these hallowed pages before, but has developed qui...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
4/9/2013
It's amazing what pops up on the iOS scene, even in the way of Productivity apps (as opposed to tedious games and other such rubbish we CRIMPers disdain... hem!).
My current fave is UX Write, a word ...
Google Reader
4/4/2013
Having recently consulted that stalwart standby, alternativeto.net, I discovered that in fact there are loads of alternatives to Google Reader out there. Some of them are really rather good! My fave a...
Time to mention a to-do outliner...
3/26/2013
Actually, I've just realised you can hoist anything up to any level by 'focusing' on it (there's a little eye-shaped icon on all items). So you can have unlimited levels of sub-sub-tasks and hoisting....
Time to mention a to-do outliner...
3/26/2013
Well, there are some really nice features:
a) it can hoist stuff (only one level, but that's plenty for to-do lists)
b) it can format stuff (you can embolden or italicise entries, or change their colo...
Time to mention a to-do outliner...
3/26/2013
Getting back to the relatively humdrum topic of outliners (i.e. moving away from the more exalted realms of semiotics, knowledge management etc.), I'm delighted to report that the relatively new app S...
I've enjoyed this convo, I must say. I have Evernote on all my various machines (iPad, Android mobile, Windows laptop, Linux netbook etc. etc.), but very rarely use it (although I do back up various a...
Omea Pro FINALLY open source!!!
3/18/2013
Worrabout Feedly? Seems pretty stable/well developed to me?
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
3/18/2013
emacs - especially in Orgmode - is perfectly ghastly, and I find it perfectly astonishing, in this day and age, that anybody could conceivably WANT to use such a thing. It's like deliberately putting ...
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
3/18/2013
Funnily enough, I've been trawling the web looking for the Ultimate Text-based Cross-Platform Outliner. And have failed to find it, alas. Todo.txt, which is - for reasons that entirely escape me - ext...
As a fellow copywriter, I generally use TreeSheets (free), but for certain projects I also use SuperNoteCard (multi-platform, basic version free).
I've actually submitted rough drafts/layout concepts...
Zoot???
3/18/2013
With that much e-mail, Alexander, you really ought to download and use MailStore to archive your GMail (the free 'Home' version is very powerful, and has sensational search abilities). That way, if Go...
Best of all is OpenOffice/LibreOffice Sheet (or whatever they call it nowadays), which is rich-text-friendly (in a way that Excel, for example, isn't). You get none of the unstable, unpredictable beha...
Unconventional iOS outliner
3/15/2013
I like it, I must say. All it needs now is some cross-platform love... ;-)
New version of Curio for Mac users
3/15/2013
Looks quite nice, actually, and they've standardised on a single product at a single price.
The Mac user's alternative to OneNote, I would say.
Unconventional iOS outliner
3/14/2013
I've just updated my copy of the iOS app 'Remember' to its new incarnation, 'Thought Block'.
It's effectively a note-taking (primarily for task management purposes) app that takes a very unusual rou...
Your top 3 tools?
3/11/2013
Funnily enough, I've been reaching the same conclusion re: task management. Currently, I've gone back to Carbonfin Outliner (and its web equivalent) for managing all my work - the information density ...
Readdle
3/8/2013
Nice idea, but sadly not - Docs replaces ReaddleDocs (and takes over all its settings, so it's not all bad). They're both very similar, it's just that the interface in Docs is simpler and in many ways...
Best Apps for the Nexus
3/8/2013
My only other recommendation would be NoteCase Pro, depending on whether you're a Windows user. If you are, you can get NoteCase for both platforms. It's a powerful notes manager/two-pane outliner, an...
