Building own knowledge database

Hi mahe

In developing my own knowledge base over many years I’ve tried more software than I can remember. I know only too well the frustration of porting a large amount of data to a promising new platform only to be disappointed after a few months of use and having to move it all back again.

As a replacement for TreePad I’d recommend UltraRecall.

While far from perfect it does tick most of your boxes, is extremely flexible and can easily handle very large databases. There are several things about UltraRecall that annoy me quite a bit but I’ve been unable to find a suitable replacement in spite of a great deal of effort spent in searching.

In my view at least, UR presents as rather unattractive and obtuse out of the box and this tends to put many people off. However, once you come to grips with it, the power and functionality it offers is very hard to beat.
