Outlinely for iOS version 1 released.
12/22/2016
Outlinely is out, but a lot of key features require a subscription. I'm happy to support this because it is the first outliner for iOS that I can actually use as part of my workflow, and I know how ha...
Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links
12/12/2016
Recent versions of the iOS beta have made great strides. Most of the bugs have been quashed and it now supports drag-and-drop reordering, search, highlighting, etc. For me this is already the solution...
Besides the obvious privacy concerns, the app is very vague about how it works. "Magic" isn't very satisfying for something that seemingly takes over all of your digital life. It claims not not need y...

From the release notes: "Embedded Link to other documents: If you type [[Link]], clicking on the link between the double brackets will open the linked document. This feature is enhanced by Auto-comple...
Bear review
11/8/2016
I too am liking Bear the more I use it. I find the website FAQ does have a fair amount of information. I had mistakenly thought they removed a beta feature to have nested tags, but via the FAQ I reali...

The developers also seem to be offering a one month free trial for annual Pro subscriptions (one week for monthly subscriptions).

Bear review

I have not used earlier software by this team, but their support staff has been first rate for Bear. During the beta period and even after launch (when I'm sure they were very busy) I received a lot o...

The developers rushed an update to the mac store over an iOS IAP bug, so that's ...
New unofficial workflowy app
11/2/2016
I agree that dynalist is slower when handling large outlines than Workflowy. One of the things I love about Workflowy is how fast it is, regardless of size.
I also agree that so far there is nothing...

New unofficial workflowy app
10/31/2016
Frank's posts are useful and informative. I don't think anything bad can be said about them. However, I find it disappointing that the WorkFlowy Design blog on Medium hasn't been updated since its ini...
Evernote yet again

And at this link:

For me, sync is the single most important feature of any note taking program. I need any note taking software to sync fast and I need it to sync across all my devices. SimpleNote sync is pretty good, ...
OT - Lifetime Droplr subscription

Thanks for this. Although I find the iOS app to be very buggy, it turns out that you can use the sharing extension to publish markdown files from Ulysses as web pages, which is quite useful.
New unofficial workflowy app
4/23/2016
Here are three features that make Handflowy useful to me:
First is "view only." In the standard Workflowy app, any touch on the screen brings up the keyboard and starts editing the outline. This mean...
New unofficial workflowy app

It is a shame that Workflowy seems to be dead in the water and all the blog posts are about hacks or unsupported third party kludges. But if you use workflowy on iOS you will want this app:

Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
2/4/2016
Cloud Outliner 2 released a new update for the Mac. I thought I'd delete some of my existing outlines and re-import from Workflowy to try it again, but the app just hangs and does nothing when I try t...
Day One 2 available on Thursday
2/4/2016
I'm loving the new version of Day One. Having multiple journals (basically folders) makes it much more useful for me, since I like to keep different kinds of journal entries separate, and using tags d...

Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X

According to the reviews for the OS X version of Omni Outliner it is very crash prone, so it doesn't sound like spending all that money would solve the crashing problems I'm facing with Cloud Outliner...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X

Good question. I used OmniOutliner years ago (before there was an app store) and found it very clunky with lots of non-outliner features (it seemed more like a spreadsheet program). A few years ago I ...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/18/2016
After more use I'm even more dissatisfied with Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X. I've had sync failures, crashes, etc. on a daily basis. I really *want* this to work because I want an iOS-first solution to o...
