Can TheBrain be synced without the cloud
1/20/2014
I don't think there is a practical way to do this. With TheBrain you can create "Brain Zips," which is a nice packaged file of your "brain." You can then read that into your other Brain, which occurs ...
BrainstormSW updates or alternatives
1/18/2014
That's a tall order. I think the closest thing to Brainstorm that I can think of is actually Ginko. Just think of it as Brainstorm where you can see the various sub-levels at the same time. Or maybe n...
Notebooks public beta available
1/18/2014
I've installed it on my Windows machine at work a couple of times, but it has been so un-notable that I can't even tell you anything about it except that it didn't get me to use it. I think it is stil...
OmniOutliner 4 is finally available
1/16/2014
After installing version 4 on my MacBook Pro, I was able to open the list of new feature "highlights":
Zooming — Text can now be magnified on screen without changing your print layout.
A brand...
OmniOutliner 4 is finally available
1/15/2014
I bought a copy of OO3 almost six years ago, so it has been a while since they've had a major upgrade to the venerable Mac outliner, but OmniGroup today finally announced the availability of version 4...
The outliner of giants
1/11/2014
I'd be curious to know others' reaction to this outliner. Personally, I have an aversion to outliners that fence each node in a box. It destroys the sense of cohesion an outline should have, making it...
Jesse Grosjean is an innovative developer, but he doesn't seem to have the ability to make a plan and stick with it. In October 2012 he wrote this on his blog:
"Long term (year a minimum, probably lo...
Yesterday I read a blog post by a dissatisfied Evernote user, Jason Kincaid. I was going to post a link to it here as a quasi warning to other Evernote users on this forum, but didn't get around to it...
Happy New Year fellow CRIMPers!
1/1/2014
I hope the new year is finding everyone healthy, happy and prepared for another great year of discussing the software that simultaneously makes us productive and helps us avoid working.
Speaking of w...

The cautionary tale of iA Writer Pro
12/27/2013
Yes, I read the recent Twitter exchange about that. This all points to a developers with an exaggerated view of their own genius.

The cautionary tale of iA Writer Pro
12/26/2013
In the meta-trends thread, we're discussing how small developers are creating focussed, cross-platform apps. One of the formerly successful teams was iA, who created the highly touted Writer app for M...
...and a very Merry Christmas to all

Thank you to all the CRIMPers who come to this site to contribute or just to lurk. It's great having this community, and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy 2014.

Meta trends - what have we learned?
12/25/2013
This is the first thing that occurred to me, too. Can you imagine a programer undertaking the development of an application like Tinderbox today? Tbx is a multi-dimensional tool that runs on one platf...
VoodooPad on sale
12/23/2013
Just wanted to post a note to anyone who might be interested in VoodooPad, probably the best personal wiki for the Mac. It recently changed developers. The new developer is offering the OSx version fo...
OneNote lovers on MacOS
12/21/2013
Hi, Bill,
I'm not trying to trash the program. It does what it does well, and if you need that, it is a great choice... probably the best choice. I just think there are better options as an outliner,...
OneNote lovers on MacOS

Outline is an great option for OneNote users who want access to their notes on their Mac (and iPad), but for those who don't use OneNote but are looking for an app that replicates its powerful feature...
TheBrain as file manager?
12/16/2013
Hi, Jorge,
I don't blame you for not wanting to spend $219 for TheBrain (TB) if you don't have to. However, in my view, you're not going to find a better solution (but I admit to not having a very th...
If you and your colleagues all have Microsoft Office installed on your computers, you probably all have access to OneNote. If so, ON can handle this pretty easily, I believe (I haven't tried it myself...
Good suggestion. Now when I paste the link, it shows as a link and opens Evernote to the note in question.

Okay, here are some updates related to EN, TheBrain and CT on Windows 7:
There seems no synergy at all between Evernote and CT. I couldn't drag a note into a CT topic. And when I tried to paste a URL...
I haven't tried it with CT and EN. I will do so on Monday, when I'm back in my office and let you know how it works.

I should add, this is the behavior on my MacBook. I have not tried it yet on my Windows PC at work.
I have never tried this before, but a little fooling around with the two apps reveals a couple of options. If you drag a note from your Evernote desktop application into TheBrain, it creates a link ba...
Greetings and welcome to the forum.
I concur with everything Alexander said. "Best" is what works best for you and will probably change over time. The knowledge management tool I currently use the mo...
