I am using Keep it 1 daily.
Of these listed feature, I think the Finder integration is probably the most useful because deleting files in Finder is not getting sensed inside Keepit1. The improved s...
Musings on tools for thought
5/11/2022
It seems to me that extremely intelligent people might not need computers that much to generate innovative ideas; and to connect concepts that they read a year ago with the concepts that they are thi...
Thank you for the nice words dear Sarah & steve-rogers.
I am sharing my experience here because some people might find a motivation to get down to the actual production: rather collecting endless no...
I use DT for just two purposes:
1. I put my draft (or a couple of lines of text which contain the most important keywords of my project) in the database, and ask it to suggest the closest/similar a...

I am a linguist.
I have been using various tools for organizing and collecting information. Linguistics is a bload field, and there are lot of ideas, theories and data to catch up on. I used to colle...

I am in the academics.
I always plan to accomplish a task: often it is a research. I start to read papers and books on the topic I want to publish. Then, after a some days of reading and researching...
Hierarchies or Networks?

Neither is sufficient, nor even the combination.
it enrages me so much when these guys claim to emulate the brain when they design their applications:

After experimenting with pDF-search for a while, I find it pretty fascinating. The results in PDF-search are much more surprising, than the ones I find in Foxtrot or Devonthink. The reason might be be...
PDF-search seems to create much bigger database.
My collection of pdf files about 11.8 GB in finder.
That turn out to be just 797mb in Foxtrot`s index.
Just putting the same folder, PDF-search al...
As to satis´ point, I also have tried HoudahSpot some time ago. Honestly, I find this app almost useless because it relies on metadata.
What I really want is a deep dig into the documents; not ...
Many of us here are academicians. We have packs of pdf files lying around (organized in Be or other). It is very important to have a powerful searching tool to find that specific concept or idea, or t...

I just realized that I can store my notes in rtf and md formats on a shared folder (FTP) and access the folder with explorer apps.
I am planning to travel to a remote area where I cannot have Internet access. But, I will configure a router for LAN; would use it to broadcast media and other stuff.
I am now looking for an app tha...
