I tested Bydesign last year. I liked the task planner but decided against it because there was no bidirectional sync between Bydesign and Outlook (looks like there is now).
With Appsumo d...

Hi Bill.
Interesting indeed. I thought DuckDuckGo was "only" a search engine.
In fact it's much more: There is a browser and add-ins for Firefox, Chrome etc..
And there are not only versions for Win...

Another candidate:
** Logseq **
runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android
stores MD files locally

Well. Looks like I am still a crimper.
I am now test-driving Lunatask and will start testing Noteplan (the web edition and the iOS app) in a few days.

There are several novel writing apps with a timeline feature. But I am not aware of one that comes at a pay-once price. An app some o...

Thanks, Bill.
That's very helpful.
After Obsidian kept freezing when I opened a particular vault, I started looking for an alternative. It turned out my problem was caused by a community plugin - afte...

Is it possible to store files, notes, whatever locally?
They offer a Black Friday special at 50% off.
@Bill: Thanks for the info.
I usually write blog posts in a decent word processor with spell and grammar checking :-)
