What's Up With Walling? 12/22/2024

I did play with Z-Tiles when it was initially released. I am going to play around again with it. If Milanote has the option of multiple columns instead of one long column, I would find it quite usef...

What's Up With Walling? 12/19/2024

Ironically, I booted up my machine this morning and Chrome opened up a window and asked me if I wanted to remove their clipper as it is now no longer supported. Great that they are working on a beta ...

What's Up With Walling? 11/8/2024

While installing the UpNote web clipper in Chrome last week, a message popped up saying that my Walling web clipper may no longer be supported in Chrome. I wrote Walling asking about this and still h...

Multi-Platform "Junk Drawer" App 10/28/2024

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'll see if I can reply to all of the suggestions and questions in one post. For cross-platform compatibility, I use an Android phone, and iPad tablet and a Win...

Multi-Platform "Junk Drawer" App 10/28/2024

While I am reasonably happy with the apps I use for task management at work and at home, I am re-evaluating my options for what app I can use to keep a lot of bits and bobs of information. I have use...

Microsoft Planner Questions 6/27/2024

Thanks for the replies. I often found Project the wrong tool for my task management, but I have not had a chance to play around with Project for the Web, which may be a better fit. Unfortunately, I ...

An indie app for Mac and iOS 2/28/2024

It reminds me a lot of KanbanFlow. That is what I use when I need just a simple board with minimal friction. I leave ClickUp to do all of the heavy lifting for my projects. --Ken
