TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/25/2015
Initial impressions
Java is gone. The UI on OS X is Cocoa-like but it does not seem to be using Apple's design kits. Interface is crisp and modern.
The preview is lacking some features (search is ...
TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/25/2015
TheBrain company has posted a first look preview of the next release -- version 9. The preview is available for active subscribers -- explained here:
http://www.thebrain.com/products/thebrain/thebra...
Look interesting, but odd. I don't want markdown-aware apps that have special syntax or logic built on idiosyncratic interpretations of standard typography, because that merely creates lock-in and ma...
MarginNote
12/17/2015
LiquidText is nice, but it does not have the export features that I like in MarginNote -- export to .mmap or OmniOutliner or Evernote. I think getting notes of out LiquidText could use a rethink by t...
MarginNote
12/17/2015
I've been looking for a solution for annotation and organizing annotations and notes in a graphical ("mind map") manner. I can do it with Curio but it's a lot of drag and drop and there's no link bet...
MarginNote
12/17/2015
MarginNote Pro has been making steady advances on the iOS side since I originally mentioned it here. Version 2 is excellent.
Now I understand on good authority that there will very soon be an OS X v...
Very good article -- thought provoking.

List of productivity methods
12/11/2015
That is a very useful article. Thank you for mentioning it.
I've always preferred to wander back and forth among many of the methods mentioned by Elliker -- driven mainly by the characteristics of ...
Relational databases
12/11/2015
That's interesting, Bill. I look forward to hearing more.
The documentation discusses importing CSV and Bento. (Who in the world still has actively-managed Bento databases?). Not import from nat...
That's an interesting approach. I have no outliners to suggest -- although various Sublime text outlining plugins might offer possibilities.
Have you considered using various color highlightings as ...
New version of StickyBrain
11/29/2015
Antnotes brings it home for $0.99 or Ghostnotes $9.99 but the extra $9 isn't worth it, IMO

New version of StickyBrain

Looks interesting, Bill.
$29.99 is steep.
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/18/2015
The really cool possibility, I think, is "composing" graphical notes -- add some TextExpander snippets and away we go. This is a lot easier than using Tinderbox maps, and about 15x cheaper.
If Quive...
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3

I noticed the screenshot of my sequence diagram example was not posted. Let's try this link:

Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/17/2015
Another major release of Quiver ("the programmer's notebook") appeared in the Mac App Store today -- version 3. Quiver's combines various "cells" into a single note: text, code (with syntax highighti...
Manuscripts 1.0
11/15/2015
Thank you for pointing this out. It's a purpose-built editor that might be useful for writing papers with illustrations, formulae and citations. Some features seem unncessarily complicated -- e.g., ...
TaskPaper 3?
11/14/2015
Don't get ripped off. The purchase page does not mention it requires El Capitan. Just tossed $9.99 down the drain and will have to go hassle with Paddle to get the funds back.

TaskCard appears
11/14/2015
I used TaskCard for a while and put it aside. It has several bugs and some odd quirks that are inconsistent with "standard" OS X app behavior. The biggest is that the red stoplight button deletes ca...
A quick update on OutlineEdit
11/13/2015
Thank you, Robin. It's generous of you to post an update on your plans. Good work takes time -- great software takes even longer ;-)
Outlines Outloud
11/11/2015
I was curious about this and delved into the accessibilty settings in iOS 9 and found that the Speech settings in Accessibility are better than the Outline Outloud app, and don't require messing aroun...
Outlines Outloud
11/10/2015
This iPhone app reads OPML outlines outloud. That's all.
http://www.outlinesoutloud.com
The voice is OK. There are very few options, but speech rate can be adjusted. Can skip forward/backward and...
Curio 10 now available
11/9/2015
I've been testing Curio 10 (and Curiota) in beta for several months and I'm really enjoying it. George is a great developer to work with -- he is responsive and patient and is very interested in what...
Looks like this is in beta and not publically available?
This and the other one you posted today -- GraphiTabs -- interesting. I'm don't normally have "hundreds of tabs" open in a browser. I'd be ...
"My Tool" (named) - visual thinking tool based on Deepamehta but much simpler with web export

Interesting. Reminds me of Cmap or VUE.
