Demise of NoteMap

Hope abraded by reality. However, his sincerity does him great credit.

Demise of NoteMap
4/12/2017
I am sorry to learn this. When I used Windows, NoteMap seemed to me to be one of the then-few fullish-strength outlining tools around. Not as powerful as the now almost legendary "classic greats" of t...
A great combo for Concentration [mac]

Timing is mentioned by Dellu above. For those "lone wolves" who like to track and time their activities each day, either for business purposes or purely for their own satisfaction, Timing 2 is now in ...
RightNote version 4
4/11/2017
It is many years since I used MyInfo. However, it seems to me that it's in an entirely different category from Scrivener's. Of course, tools can be used for all kinds of purposes, but MyInfo, surely, ...

My take on Tinderbox is that it's not really a note-taker at all. It's a tool for discovering "emergent structure". If you need such a tool, you will find, after all the investment of time and effort ...
Tinderbox 7 has arrived

Thanks for this, Paul. On the strength of the release notes - which are themselves an indication of the hard work by Mark Bernstein that you mention - I may well pay my $98.

Thanks for the tip, Steve.
DevonThink To Go 2.0 Has Arrived
2/18/2017
My interest in DT's future development recently increased. In response to a post in the Devonthink forum about the use of Hazel and Automator to automate the filing of documents in the appropriate gro...
DevonThink To Go 2.0 Has Arrived
2/9/2017
Yes, I'm pretty impressed with DTTG2. Alongside Literature & Latte (and maybe some other developers that I don't know about) Devon Technologies have made syncing of packages workable. From the user's ...
Supernotecard (https://www.supernotecard.com), also aimed at writers, is another comparator - long-standing as an index-card tool. Thanks for the tip-off about ultra; I've downloaded it and will try i...
Windows vs. Mac plus Parallels
11/21/2016
Yes, three or four years ago, there was a period when I ran Windows on my Mac Mini (which is now rather underpowered by the standards of today, but then was fairly sprightly). My main purpose was to u...
TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase
10/20/2016
But all credit to the developers for going ahead with such a big re-build at this stage in the history of the application.
TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase

Thanks for this news, Paul. Less clunkiness/"ponderousness" will be a major improvement for me.

Any good Scrivener books out there?
10/12/2016
An additional thought.
Scrivener comes with two sets of guidance - an interactive tutorial and an instruction manual, both under the Help menu. I don't recommend reading the manual from cover to cove...
Any good Scrivener books out there?

Long ago, even before personal computers became popular, my work involved writing or re-writing tracts of 5,000 words or more about quite complicated subjects, at very short notice, with an emphasis o...
Evernote yet again
10/6/2016
Interesting! Of course, such a rapid reputational reversal and percentage-wise value decline in a start-up have happened before and will happen again. But perhaps not such changes in absolute terms.
NovaMind bites the dust

Sad to read, but I believe that MindNode and iThoughts are pretty much just as good feature-wise, with more contemporary designs and much lower prices.
