Bill, could you post a link to the source for the “Lists” app—it’s kind a generic search in Google and I haven’t honed in on it.

Not too many changes in 2015. Going into ‘16, here’s what I’m working with:
Windows 7
RightNote - New for me in 2015. Love the web publishing option - it actually works in a very useful way and searches beautifully.
Notebooks by Alfons Schmid - Like it a lot for longer essay collections, etc. I wish it was quicker, as in snappier.
The Journal 7 - Personal journaling and frankly, this software could easily replace most tree-based outliners.
This works for me as I’m very text-oriented. That’s why I recently mentioned another piece of Windows software I have used since 1996 - the unknown but incredible EasyDesktop. It’s a whole different way to use Windows. Still actively developed.

Web-based
Inbox by Gmail - For email AND it’s my to-do and life manager. Love the pinned reminders and emails. Much better than regular Gmail.
Dropbox Paper - It’s perfect for writing and collaboration. I share many notes and the simplicity is wonderful. I was an early-invite to ‘Paper’ and have been using it for a while now. I use it every day. Check it out and get on the waiting list:
https://www.dropbox.com/paper
iPhone/iPad
.
Drafts - Couldn’t function on-the-go without it. My personal favorite iOS app.
Inbox by Gmail and Dropbox as listed above.
Most Important Tool:
The Professional Grade Laboratory Notebook by BookFactory - Yes, a hardbound 8x10 old-fashioned paper notebook.
Here’s the one I use (no referral code don’t worry):
http://www.amazon.com/BookFactory-Lab-Notebook-Laboratory-LRU-168-SRS-A-LKMST1/dp/B0062OGKT8
It’s just wonderful to use. 162 pages complete with six pages of 162 blank table of contents at the front. Lays flat with no issues. I use this more than anything and going “back to paper” real-time actually keeps me on track and is quicker (for me) than the software that I use. I’m very text oriented. I occasionally scan my notebooks and have a relatively recent “backup” all the time. It just works. And the battery life? Oh, wait…

Yo Paul - you’ll find it in the Mac App Store. Actually, more recently, I’ve started using App for Trello. It’s simply an encapsulated Safari/Webkit page holder, but it lurks in the menu bar and gives me instant access to Trello whichever screen I’m in. Oh, and it’s very cheap. Also on the Mac App Store.

While I don’t use WorkFlowy for a manual diary, there can be a method to madness.
There are situations when it can make sense to create a manual calendar, in order to pay closer attention to the allocation of tasks to time within a day or a week.
Sometimes it’s all too easy to drop tons of stuff into a Google Calendar day, without there being a realistic chance of accomplishing them.
For such manual calendaring I sometimes use Gingko, as a card metaphor is helpful to visualise a time period, such as a day or an hour. Sometimes I also use Classic Calendar for it, when working offline.
