Fundamental shifts of position

Having now had some time to spend working with Keep Everything, I don’t think I would use it. The markdown is nice and crisp; the style options adequate. Converting web pages to “articles” (the in-app term for ad-free markdown versions) seems to take a while. The app must be using a web service such as Markdownifie on a slow server. The app keeps its data in binary files—an odd choice for a markdown-centric app. We can export articles to PDF, but not export or save to a plain-text markdown file. There is no browser extension or bookmarklets to get items from the browser to Keep Everything—we need to copy/paste.

The share sheet on the toolbar implements only email sharing.

(Tip, the rest of the share sheets are available in a round-about manner—select an atricle, click “Edit”, then select all and open the contextual menu. The rest of the share options configured for that machine are available from the contextual menu.)

But, in the vein on software that does “one thing well”—Keep Everything is well built and pleasant to use, IMO.
