Notebooks public beta available
12/3/2014
There is also Notebooks Lite for iPad -- which is a free, limited version of Notebooks 7 for iPad. It limits the number of notebooks and number of notes and is intended for trialing the software.

We also use Lync, which is a private IM service for people on the same network, and Chatter which is a private twitter-like service for longer messages and document sharing.

The classic collaborative environment is what we're doing right here -- a threaded forum. A lot of the new collaborative thingies are riffs on that theme.
As Ken mentioned -- my work involves a lot ...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"

I use CrashPlan for full-disk backup (minus the OS) and it works well. At least, I think it works well. I've never had to recover an entire disk with it, but I have recovered folders and files from ...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"
12/2/2014
I have a lot of apps for content creation on my iPad -- apps that sync via a cloud service (the Dropboxes of this world) or proprietary (the Evernotes) -- but I can't think of anything that syncs in t...
That's an interesting view -- I would never have had that impression. I live in both the Mac and Windows worlds and I buy lots of software. The only "software begun on Windows" that migrated to Mac...
Evernote and "The Wall Street Journal"
11/30/2014
I don't have particular concerns about what Evernote is ("lifestyle" or whatever) -- that's a timewaster.
IMO, what's always important to mull over and discuss here and elsewhere is "what happens nex...

Thank you for posting this -- I am a print subscriber to WSJ -- spurred by your note I discovered that I could activate WSJ+ and from there redeem the 12 months of Evernote Premium. Would not have kn...
Yet another Markdown editor...
11/21/2014
2014 is the year of Markdown -- so many riches. These editors begin to blur together -- LightPaper looks similar to Markdown Pro, for example. I'm looking for a blogger who is tracking all the Mul...
Oh dear, really can't help myself
11/18/2014
Well, that looks interesting. Thanks for finding it and posting. With all those little boxes and forms to fill out I wonder what it would be like to use it for more than a small number of entries....
@MotionTwelve, interesting list
"information manager" -- a post-it note and pencil combo is an "information manager". What specific tasks are you looking to do? Research? Project management? Writ...
These are good essays. I'm not sure how many there are -- one of the articles mentions it is the seventh in the series -- or if the series is completed.
liquidtext in beta

This is really interesting. Thank you for posting.
A number of years ago Nate Matias (now at MIT) developed a stretchtext capability as a sort of bolt-on for the then-current version of Tinderbox on...

Very useful essay on note taking, from Alex Strick van Linschoten

The end of the essay is ...
Novamind Subscription
10/25/2014
The Novamind mind mapping application has switched over to a subscription program, added a browser-based version, and promised an iPad version later this year. All included in the subscriptions, it s...
MagicalPad for OS X is available
10/3/2014
New versions of MagicalPad for iOS and OS X were released today. "Automatic sync" is the headline feature. Be careful. In a test notebook I was unable to get the full content of a page created on t...

Thank you for pursuing that, and the update. So it seems that the the data are encrypted (weak method) in movement but not at rest.

Interesting concept, thank you for the tip. The site mentions nothing about encryption and privacy -- or if the data goes through their servers. Perhaps its in the tutorial video.

Annotations for Mac
9/15/2014
Sorry ... just noticed the blurb on the home page: "Add any text or Microsoft® Word document to your project. "
Would think, though, that "annotation" frequently applies to PDF.

"help researchers annotate documents"
Annotate what type of document? Does not recognize PDFs. Help doesn't explain either.
"designing a personal knowledgebase"
9/6/2014
Same here ... reading Alex's essay I kept thinking "ConnectedText". I know he says "Wikipedia works well because the effort is crowdsourced. But I’m just one person, and so I can’t spend ...

DEVONthink's user forum is a broad and deep resource for all experience levels, and the support staff is very friendly and helpful.

An item can belong to as many groups within the same database as you wish. "Replicate" the document or "Replicate" a group -- ⌘L (command-L), and move the replicants where you wish. Or, select...

DEVONthink does not have a clipper that works in Opera -- but there are bookmarklets available that do most of the heavy lifting and will work in most browsers:
