Not sure I would replace Curio with YouMind, though YouMind is intriguing and worth exploring. Thanks for pointing this out, @donleone.
I am attracted by the motivation of the developer(s) behind ve...
An in-depth TheBrain app-praisal !
7/11/2014
Stephen - in DEVONthink (I assume this is also true with TheBrain) if an external "indexed" file or a link is located on Mac A and Mac B at the same relative path from the root of the current volume o...
In addition to all the fine applications mentioned so far, there are two categories of app that I use constantly on my Macs. A shelf to drag clippings and files to temporarily and then drag into othe...
An in-depth TheBrain app-praisal !
7/6/2014
I use DEVONthink extensively, and I use TheBrain extensively. I suppose they both fit into a "knowledge management" -- though that category is a bit like the proverbial nailing jello to a wall.
I in...
An in-depth TheBrain app-praisal !
7/6/2014
It's also worth mentioning the extensive tutorials and use cases on TheBrain's site -- Shelley Hayduk and Matt Catan put up new very in-depth videos almost weekly. These explain all aspects of the pr...

Thank you, @donleone -- an excellent review
A few of my favorite aspects of TheBrain
- attachments can be internal or external -- they can be almost any kind of document, and new attachment types (n...
MarginNote

MarginNote - an iOS PDF annotation / note taking / mind mapping application recently added support for exporting its mind maps in MindJet .mmap format, which can be "Open In" iThoughts on iOS. An int...

Curio 9 Released

"holding taking" --> "holding tank" (thank you, autocorrection)
Curio 9 Released
7/1/2014
I'm glad to read that George might not invest time in an iOS Curio -- I think it would never be satisfying and divert developer attention and resources. (For the same reasons, I hope Eastgate also st...
Curio 9 Released
6/25/2014
Thank you, Mark and Steve.
I read George's posting and was a bit more confused than before. I wrote there that "... the thing I find confusing, even more so after George's helpful note, is that Pinb...
Curio 9 Released
6/24/2014
Two features of Curio 9 whose significance I am not grasping are the "album collection" and the "pinboard collection". First off, they seem to be the same thing with slight differences: floating park...
Curio 9 Released
6/24/2014
Mark, thank you for the notice -- and the loss of sleep! -- I stayed up many hours too late just to play with the new version of Curio ;-)
I have used Curio since its first release, and I continue t...
Freeplane - new release
6/13/2014
I'm a little confused by release numbers. I have Freeplane 1.2.23 installed (OS X). "Check updates" tells me that version 1.3.11 is now available. I'll go to that.
Ulysses III (Mac) provides a "continuous display" mode where the contents of multiple files are displayed in a single editing pane. Files can be external (Markdown or text), or internal. For example...
MagicalPad for OS X is available
5/28/2014
MagicalPad for OS X is available now on the Mac App Store. The author discounted the software 30% "for a limited time". The discounted price is $39.99, which seems steep. I've used MagicalPad on iO...

Daly, did you mean "Leuchtturm 1917"?
TheBrain fixes Freemind import
5/24/2014
TheBrain 8.0.1.1 was release a couple days ago. Minor fixes -- the most important for me was fixing Freemind (.mm) document imports. This seems to have been broken for quite a while. It's an import...
I like Stephen Zeoli's examples because they fit into a type of planning that I've been experimenting with - "if-then" planning -- which "studies show" is more successful than standard project or task...

5/18/2014
Ugh, last year all four drives in my MacPro died within a few days. Since they were all born at the same time it was interesting that their lives we so closely related. If you have to replace a dri...

"I did have the problem with 10.8" should be "I did NOT have the problem with 10.8"

I've had Mavericks on my MacBook Air (mid-2012 13") since the first commercial release, and am currently at 10.9.3. The machine has 8 GB memory and a 500 GB SSD. (Since I knew I would use this machi...
Taking another look at Ulysses
5/18/2014
Of the dozens of machines I've owned, I now have the two best computers I've ever owned -- in one box:
My MacBook Air 2012 with a 500GB SSD. This one is running Windows 8.1 under Parallels.
Perhaps the issue isn't that you are now working in a less structured environment -- but just that the environment is different and you haven't learned all the cues yet? When I transitioned from 25 y...
Taking another look at Ulysses
5/17/2014
Steve Zeoli recently posted his thoughts on using Ulysses III for spark notes (http://welcometosherwood.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/further-ruminations-on-the-spark-file/).
I have Ulysses in the Dock an...
