Speare word processor
3/7/2026
FWIW, Adguard calls this a malware/phishing site.

Even if he's still living, he's gotta be in his late-80's and any conversation with him would probably not be especially productive.
PC OUTLINE

IF you've been using PCO/WordStar/WordPefect ad nauseum for the last 40 years THEN (Boomer) maybe it makes sense to continue; devoting your remaining months/years to learning something new probably is...
Browser bliss...
10/16/2023
FWIW, Avast Secure Browser is also an alternative. It's based upon Chrome and the main reason to consider it over other secure browsers is that it fixes Chrome's (and Firefox's, Opera's, etc.) NOTORIO...

If he's still alive -- and I think I remember hearing of his death but I could be wrong -- he must be in his mid-80's by now (so in the best of cases, he might not now be the dude you remembered). AFA...
Robot writing apps

I noticed that you left off one of the most common AI uses; in trading markets. There's actually a reason for this AND it's the reason that AI painting & AI writing programs also are ... and likely WI...
WritingOutliner revived
10/28/2022
WritingOitliner was an add-in with apparently unsolvable stability issues. So ... after abundant complaints about disappearing/garbled text and lost entire documents, DocxManager was created; which us...
Advice needed
10/8/2022
Have you tried running Idealist in a virtual machine (Hyper-V, Parallels, VirtualBox, VMWare) running whatever OS worked before? If it worked then it should work in a VM with that OS, now.
Apps for Scratchpads

IME, the best notetaking app is a code editor, like NotePad++ for Windows. The reason is that they allow unlimited text files with strong search routines using regx; everything you need for coding AND...
Docxmanager and Scrivener
2/2/2022
A "refund" didn't bring back my document(s) -- months and months of work -- which disappeared because of this developer's incompetence.
I have an iron-clad rule: Your program hurts me -- and that on...
Docxmanager and Scrivener
2/1/2022
The previous incarnation of docxmanager, before the developer changed its name, was SO buggy and caused me so much misery that it still gives me nightmares and anyone who publishes trash like that sho...
DoogiePIM v3 for Windows is out
8/3/2021
One of the worst websites that I've experienced. For a product which claims to include a browser, that's not too encouraging.
Going with what you know

With all due respect, if you can do what you're doing on a 6" phone -- or even a tablet -- you're not doing much which demands anything too sophisticated.
Web Clipper

I use RightNote for this (and everything else)
Experience with M1 (ARM) Macs?
2/26/2021
Keep in mind that this is a first-gen Apple product and, historically, those have always been problematic a few years down the road. I'd listen to history and wait for the next gen. One problem on the...
O the Irony...

Of course, if you ever need to convert .rtf, you can always convert it to docx then into any form you want. Your observation is .... kinda nonsensical.

FWIW, you can do that with a Kindle e-reader as well.
I needed a pen to fill out my mail-in ballot in the recent election, and realized that not only did I not have one, I hadn't even TOUCHED a pencil or pen in the last 5 years. Any handwriting that I do...
MacJournal 7
10/7/2020
Their site says that it requires High Sierra. Is that right? Since HS was 2+ OS versions ago, that would seem like a problem.
I think that if you need some sort of higher guidance on how to choose a tool -- whether it's a hammer or a word processing app -- you're spending waaay too much time seeking higher guidance.

Docxmanager, looks nice
9/3/2020
After (repeated) bad experiences with Writing Outliner, I'm not trusting anything that developer produces, ever again.
He might be a "great guy" but ime he's an incompetent programmer. Having a Scriv...
Lack of up-to-date outliners
7/31/2020
If you're looking for a 2-pane outliner, try the open-source CherryTree. TreeLine is another option.
If you're happy with a chromebook, why change? It doesn't matter what works for others.
Personally, though, had I your use-case, I'd be looking on eBay for a used ThinkPad T or X series between 3rd ...
Buying macOS Software now?
6/30/2020
There are a few reasons that I've chosen to use MacOS and a macbook, in addition to more powerful Windows machines: DevonThink, Scrivener (I've gave up hope that the 2.5-years-in-progress -- stable -...
