OneNote for Mac on the horizon...
3/18/2014
I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it really makes me see OneNote as a universal option. However, it causes me to worry that innovative apps like Outline and MagicalPad are just going to d...
DBMS for iPad

And just to be clear, my review of TapForms is for the Mac, not the iPad version.

DBMS for iPad
3/16/2014
My last article for Mac Appstorm was a comparison of TapForms with Bento (since Bento has been discontinued by Filemaker). It may be of interest for those looking for more information about TF:

I just noticed over on the App Store that MacJournal is on sale for half price through St. Patrick's Day. MJ is an excellent writing and journaling application. I use it for one-off articles or longer...
Writer's Blocks Essentials
3/14/2014
I have a little experience with WB. I liked the idea of the program, but it was always a bit quirky and not very user friendly, in my opinion. If these blocks intrigue you, you should check out Super ...

That is certainly good news for us Mac users. Thanks for the link!

I had an writing professor in college who taught us this lesson:
It's never the reader's fault if they don't understand you. It is the job of the author to write in such a way that the meaning of hi...
Looks interesting. Is there any reason you've come across to choose SilverNote over OneNote (other than price)?

TheBrain users may be interested in the new video about the iOS version:

I don't think it is publicly available yet, but it must b...

Here's an interview with Keith Blount from Mac Appstorm:

I don't know how much he talks about the issues you...
I just heard from the developer that they are changing the name in the next version to Taskmator. Not as catchy, but there was probably a conflict with the other "Tasque" apps you mentioned, Bill.
St...
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Tasque for iOS is clearly a revised version of TaskPaper, which Hog Bay made open source. I wonder what the new developer of Tasque has in store for t...
I got a response regarding my inquiry about a Mac version (I didn't think to ask about a PC version):
Yes it is in the process. We will update you once we launch the Mac app. But currently we are giv...
I got a reply (that was pretty quick) from the developer re the Dropbox issue:
Thank you for contacting us and extremely sorry for the dropbox issue.
Currently this is an issue in 1.0 version of Ta...
One small glitch so far with Tasque. When I tried to set up Dropbox sync I got an error message indicating Tasque is still in "development mode." I sent an e-mail to the developer for clarification vi...
Never mind. I figured it out for myself (I can do that sometimes.)
I guess this developer took the open source code and massaged it into his own app. Looks good, and for $2.99 (it's an iOS app BTW) w...
Bill,
Is this for iOS? Thanks!

That's an ambitious goal. One I have fantasized about from time to time, but I definitely do not have the patience for it. However, if you want inspiration, just look at Keith Blount, who was basicall...
Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?
1/30/2014
While the subject of personal wikis is at the forefront, I just thought I'd point out that TiddlyWiki has a fresh new version, which appears to have many more features. I haven't tried it, so this is ...
Hog Bay pulls back its iOS applications
1/23/2014
I wasn't necessarily criticizing Hog Bay/Jesse Grosjean as much as I was just offering a "buyer beware" warning. It's already been demonstrated that if you buy a Hog Bay application, you may find your...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/21/2014
PIMFan,
I use TheBrain both as a "working now" and an "archival" tool, though I'd say my use weighs more heavily on the former. TheBrain isn't necessarily my go to information storage system.
I've w...
An interesting aspect of how Jerry uses TheBrain is that he rarely adds any content to his thoughts. They frequently have URL attachments, but no files or notes or meta data in the form of tags or tho...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/20/2014
I noted in the Jerry Michalski presentation that he said that brains can be stored and carried from computer to computer on a fob, which I assume is his term for a thumb drive. I don't know what autho...
Thanks, PIMFan. Very interesting.
Jerry mis-stated that there is no semantic meaning in the plex, as the area where the thoughts reside is called. In fact it has a definite geography. At the center ...
Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/20/2014
I don't know anything about Chronosync or rsync, so can't comment on that. As to an external hard drive, I guess that could work. You will need to be sure to move or copy any external files you use in...
