Maybe a little OT.
After posting a comment in another thread about a feature in TheBrain that I have been using more of recently, I knew I wanted to mention that here because I'm enjoying using TheBr...
An in-depth TheBrain app-praisal !
2/21/2015
There are two ways to do this. Make something outside of TheBrain and import the file, or create a file from a template (Thought > Attachments > Add Attachment…). One can load up TheBrain wit...

Outliner (Mac) on sale

Outliner (http://outline.ws/mac) is iOS/OS X notetaking software that is compatible with OneNote (2010 and 2013) and syncs with OneDrive. I've been using it for a while on my iPad since it was (until...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/12/2015
You're welcome -- but I believe it was indeed Bill who originally wrote here about Quiver ;-)

Apologies - thanks to Paul Korm, rather than Bill, this time.
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update

Steve, I found a trick with the Code cell that results in a backdoor folding text result. If you have a Markdown cell (or create a new Code cell and assign to it the Markdown language type) then an...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/10/2015
Quiver for Mac (the "Programmer's Notebook") has a new upgrade to v2.1 with a long list of new and enhanced features. Many of these are navigation / keyboard aids. One particular I like is "When exp...
Updated to Yosemite
2/9/2015
Apple's track record with cloud services is spotty, so I avoid iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo LIbrary. Yosemite tosses frequent warnings about being unable to connect to iCloud Drive -- and the subfo...
Alternote (beta for Mac)

"Alternote is designed to be the most convenient and natural way to make notes, collect information, write down your ideas, feelings and memories."
It is a plainer-looking UI fronting on Evernote. I...
OT: how in the world do people ever discover fix-it recipes like this -- me, I'd just toss the machine ;-)

Another announcement today was Ulysses 2 for OS X. The product that today is Ulysses III v1.2 will become Ulysses 2.0 and drop the "III". It "embraces" the Yosemite design concepts. (Ugh.) Uly...
Aibase

It was just an ironic comment on the 1 km claim

Aibase

That's funny. A document 1 km on a side (let's say, a square km) would be about 12 petabytes of data.
OutlineEdit 1.3 & 5 free licences
2/4/2015
Robin -- the update is very nice. Thanks for posting this.
I'm curious what the use case is for auto-update of exported PDF and / or OPML. It seems to work very well -- from a bit of limited testin...
SmartDown for Mac

Bill, with two endorsements from you in one day -- Outlinely and SmartDown -- I'm going to have to CRIMP all night ;-)

liquidtext in beta
1/29/2015
Shouldn't have been quick to say web imports are "no ads" -- it's more the case that the imports are "sometimes no ads".
liquidtext in beta

My application came up on the beta list today, so I've been trying out LiquidText. Very impressive.
I very much like the abiltiy to send a web page from Safari to LiquidText using the Safari exten...

Fast 3D modelling

Thanks for the tip.
The interface is a bit disorienting -- though that might be the point of it. Over here, with Safari on a Mac, the site quickly consumed a lot of CPU resources. I haven't diagnos...
