I’ve been looking (for years now it seems) for an outliner style personal database with a user interface that doesn’t get in the way too much but still has enough formatting and flexibility to be useful.

I must admit that both Ultra Recall and SQLNotes just confuse me, and I can’t be bothered to spend the time required to understand, let alone master these complex programs.

I turned up LexiCan (http://www.lexican.net) through a Google search. On first use, it seems to me to hit the sweet spot between a simple and visually pleasing interface, and enough functionality to make it useful for storing structured information.

Anybody else had a look at this one? Its kind of a desktop wiki (although more in terms of the manner of presentation rather than any major emphasis on internal linking.
