It’s a little on the ‘bleeding-edge’ but it’s surprising that I cant think of an alternative that blends structured data properties, markdown notes and your file system.
There’s still a lot to build out, but it’s a courageous effort!

It’s an interesting concept. I don’t like the file browser. Seems hacky and missing some basic view options. For my money, I think PathFinder does better with that part. I don’t have a case for using the file browser as a “database” for adding notes to a file other than the Spotlight comments we already have. For custom attributes for a file, DEVONthink does far better. But cheap is good for many users, I’m sure.

I’m downloading it right now: the screenshots looked great - I wish Finder would expose some kind of directory notes as you navigated, or even more compex document types without having to open then: then I realised that’s basically DEVONthink.
And as someone invested in DT, this seems like it’s replicating that functionality - though I can see it being possibly of more use for working with project/directory structures less aligned with DT’s more *textual* document models.
All I can hope is that some of the ideas this explores and exposes lead to a buyout from apple; It’d be great to see a little more love applied to local file systems management.
