Dynalist Revisited
1/19/2026
After the slowdown of Dynalist updates I went back to Workflowy - they have in recent times picked up speed of development Workflowy is quite similar to Dynalist in many ways, no surprise considering ...
Curio 28 has been released (Mac only)
2/26/2024
The effective discounted price for a Pro license is $95.99.
12 months of upgrades cost $79.99 - no special discount :-(
I might buy another upgrade in 2 years to contain the cost of my 'Curio-sity'.

Curio 28 has been released (Mac only)
2/11/2024
J J, I told George about the PDF/page break issue years ago. He is aware, and is always super responsive. Great guy. Alas, a fix would not be trivial and to my knowledge has not been implemented (I st...
Curio is one of the most impressive tools of its kind.
However, a small number of essential quality-of-life issues have gotten in my way of using it:
1. PDF export/print will frequently create lines...
Microsoft Word can do this really well, using styles. Works across Normal/Draft/Outline views. Use 'Themes' to switch between 'working' styles and print/output styles as needed. Record macro and put o...
My Life Organized 6.0 Announced
3/3/2023
You can use contexts as tags (e.g. @waiting for), and also have a field for text tags.
In your example, I personally use context @waiting for and @Bob if I am waiting for Bob ... But you could use @wa...

Thanks for the heads up, immediately purchased the upgrade.
For what it does, MLO is unparalleled. Information density and flexibility are amazing. Update makes a great app better, increased usabilit...
WriteMapper 3
6/6/2021
I also fell for the "lifetime license" wording. I bought 5 - all for personal use - to be able to use across devices. So in total a big price per user, but I liked the idea.
Now version 3 is out. Not ...
NotePlan 3 is the biggest "outliner" disappointment of the year for me. Maybe there are some workarounds, I just lost my motivation after 15 minutes (and uninstalled the app - tested on my Mac) due to...
TheBrain v. Obsidian as of May 2021

I am also much impressed with Obsidian and have made a donation accordingly.
For my workstyle, I discovered that the nature of "Zettelkasten" - i.e. need to type in an capture your thoughts and refin...
TheBrain v. Obsidian as of May 2021
5/5/2021
Seconding the notion - I tried Roam Research and Obsidian, now firmly back in the TheBrain camp (using the fairly stable v12 beta).
Numerous advantages of the decades of development work - e.g. there...
I just gave Microsoft ToDo another try.
It is cross platform, including a browser-based Outlook Web Access integration that I wasn't previously aware of (cf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN-MH9hBJ4Q...

Anyone using Zettelkasten?

Have you considered using prototypes for notes in Tinderbox? This allows you to create schemas for different classes of notes, e.g. no ISBN number for web URLs ...
Was this your concern?

Curio 13 has been released
4/2/2019
George is one of the most dedicated 'artisanal' software creators.
I just sent him a note regarding a markdown issue, the fix will be in the 13.0.1 release. That's a 1 hour response time!
As Paul says...
Beck,
your videos were exactly what I needed as a gentle nudge and encouragement to set up a similar workspace/process in TB.
I have been a TB user since 2007 (I bought a Mac specifically to be able t...
TheBrain 10 released
11/5/2018
In my experience the web and mobile apps are primarily companion apps for the Mac and Windows versions of The Brain.
If you don't have access to a Mac or Windows machine, I don't know if The Brain wou...

Comparisons of online outliners
5/21/2018
My vote goes to Dynalist. Development is very active, recent speed improvements in browser are very welcome (before that, Workflowy felt more nimble).
Not quite there yet though ... e.g. tags are part...

best outliner you use? (2018)
5/20/2018
Best Outliner in 2018 for me is, by far, OmniOutliner 5 (primarily used on Mac, with occasional seamless use of iPhone and iPad apps to update).
Sum is more than the parts, there is nothing out there...

The future of OneNote

Regrettably, the non-Windows versions of OneNote have (even) less features and the user interface has severe lag in responding e.g. to basic editing commands, such as command+v on Mac OS.

Off Topic: Which keyboard to buy?

I bought 2 Happy Hacking Keyboard 2 last year - one for my desk, one for mobile use. The mobile one retrofitted with "silencer rings" to use in shared space office environments.
Took several weeks to ...
OmniOutliner 3 for iOS
2/16/2018
How long did you try it?
I installed it today (on iPhone X) and so far no negatives.
3 taps to create new outline - UX is well thought out
No freezes - will report back if that happens
Not sure if I ...
