What do you think Sherlock? OP Title. Heard of Nancy’s catchphrase? Not Sid Vicious’. With your usual characteristic bitter POV on life & flaming here, once again you’re “lost in translation”. Not seeing the trees from the forest, wasted life really.

Can anyone speak to the current differences between KeepIt and Notebooks? (I have the latter but haven’t been using it, but a lot of people, like everyone at MacStories, seems to be using KeepIt [sometimes alongside DevonThink]).

That’s an interesting question. Notebooks and Keep It both keep your files, in their original formats, in external folders freely accessible in the file system. Notebooks doesn’t create any special “Notebooks”-formatted files. On the other hand, Keep It can create .kpnote “files” (macOS packages, really) that are not portable to other apps. But both apps can read/write ordinary text files.
Functionally, I think Keep It relies a little more on external editors than Notebooks, but both apps let you open a document in, say, a PDF annotation app and save the changes back to the library seamlessly.
For me, it’s more a matter of taste. There are functional differences—for example, Notebooks can be used to assign tasks to documents and track them—but overall I don’t think there is a huge reason to prefer one over the other, subscription costs aside. We’ll have to see what Notebooks 2.0 offers vs. Keep It, then the time comes.

As of today, Quiver is now completely gone from the U.S. Mac App Store—links to the App Store from happenapps.com say “not available in this territory”. Hope this is temporary.

I wonder if there are plans for a new Windows version of Notebooks.
Also, if the Notebooks folder is stored in Dropbox, will the files be available on more than one PC? I have recently discovered to my chagrin that keeping files in Dropbox doesn’t mean an automatic sync with some programs - for example, it does for MyInfo, but not EssentialPIM.
Thanks.
