TheBrain 9 has come very far. I'm impressed. The three biggest improvements:
1. The ability to have multiple brains open at the same time. This makes it a lot easier to chop your information into sma...
A few quick observations:
1. The software is sluggish on my five-year old Windows 7 machine. Slower than Scrivener. Not sure this is a problem yet.
2. Atomic allows you to create notes as a separat...
Some of you may remember a piece of writing software called PageFour. Personally, I'd forgotten all about it until I got an email from the developer today announcing his new application, Atomic Scribb...
Thanks, Andy. Just looking at your info this appears to be a wonderful addition to your very useful software.

Thank you for the information, Erica. Dynalist is becoming a favorite useful app for me.

A few years ago I used Mindomo:

I found it adequate for my needs at the time. I haven't used it for a few years, so I am not sure how much it might have evolved. It has deskt...
Scrivener 3 is on the way…

What writing app do you use in Windows instead of Scrivener?
In my experience, Scrivener for Windows is a pretty full-featured writing suite in its own right. Yes, compared to the Mac version, it isn...

I don't know if anyone is considering Notebooks, but if you are, you might want to take advantage of the 50% sale:

Keep It is now out of beta and officially released per the Reinvented Software web site:

I don't think it is on either of the App Stores yet, but probably will be...
WriteMapper

Looks interesting. A great feature would be the ability to import a markdown document and turn it into a mind map. Doesn't look like it can do that at this stage.

It seems IQTell has shut down
9/10/2017
I saw a notice about the impending shutdown when I checked the IQTell site a few months ago. It was an interesting service, and i'm sorry they couldn't make it.

Aquaminds NoteTaker 4?
9/6/2017
Hi, Paul,
No need to apologize for a Mac post... Noteshare also works on Windows, right?

One possible answer to your question is Curio by Zengobi. If it is the "notebook metaphor" that most attracts you to Circus Ponies Notebook/NoteTaker, Curio might be a solution. I mention this now, be...
Any Windows users here ?
9/1/2017
Hi, Graham,
Two things:
First, is Ariadne still being developed or are you just using a legacy version from years ago?
Second, I've been using version 9 of TheBrain and I haven't found it to be bu...
Any Windows users here ?
9/1/2017
I use both platforms. While I'm Mac for personal use, at the place I work we use Windows 7 PCs. So I probably spend 75% of my computer time on Windows. I'd guess that one reason it seems so many of us...
I read the first edition as a paper book. I have the second edition as a PDF. I enjoyed reading the former, but haven't gotten far in the latter. It is really a philosophy on how to think about using ...
I emailed Steve at Reinvented Software with a question and I also asked him about the design philosophy behind Keep It. He confirmed that it is intended to be more note-centric. Here is what he said (...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/21/2017
You are right, Hugh, if your primary use of Ulysses is writing longer-form pieces (as does David Hewson). What I'm looking for in a Ulysses replacement are these attributes:

Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/20/2017
That's disturbing. I am running it okay on Windows 7, but haven't tried 10. Would like to hear what support has to say.

Ulysses exports documents not just in different file formats (PDF, ePub, Plain Text, HTML, DocX), it also has several different styles depending on what type of document you're exporting. It is really...
Paul,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I don't dispute the general accuracy of your comment about Keep It just being a rebranding of Together, but I think the developer has shifted the fo...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/18/2017
I've been looking for a replacement for Ulysses (due to its change to subscription model -- just adding this in case someone reads this months from now without the benefit of the long thread about Uly...
This Ulysses deal is still bothering me. It feels like a huge obfuscation on the part of the "Soulmen." First, of course, is the misleading pricing issue -- clearly intentional. In his Medium article ...
I was just reading Max's take on the change to subscription for Ulysses:

Interesting but he never acknowle...
I was just checking out the comments on the "new" Ulysses on the App Store. Seems evenly split between users eager to support Ulysses and those who hate the move to subscription. What I found odd is t...
