Promising new notes app 7/22/2018

Interesting that despite the relatively large number of developers who have recently entered or are already in this market niche, yet still they come - even when some apparently well-resourced example...

Writer's log 7/18/2018

I like what I've seen of Agenda. But two omissions from its feature set would discourage me from using it as a writer's log: an iOS app (I increasingly write on my iPad), and tables with simple arithm...

Zoot 7/13/2018

You're right Steve, and it's a shame. When on Windows, I used to be a huge fan of Zoot (probably introduced to it on this forum by you).

Favored "bucket" app - DEVONthink v. Keep-It vs. EagleFiler etc 7/6/2018

DevonThink Pro Office is my "bucket". I've tried several of its rivals, including several mentioned in the posts above, but always found that DT is better for my purposes. I like its reliability, its ...

Edit on iOS -- does one thing and does it right 7/4/2018

Relative complexity has advantages in many circumstances - but in some circumstances, so also does simplicity.

Edit on iOS -- does one thing and does it right 7/1/2018

Reminiscent for me of a simple iOS reminders (lower-cap "r") app I recently installed, called Later (http://laterapp.co) with deadline presets. Free for iOS. Syncs with a Later Mac app that lives in t...

"Summerfest" Mac Software Sale 6/23/2018
