NotePlan
9/29/2017
While this app has appeared in some forum posts in 2016, I haven't seen it discussed recently. I ran into this Mac / iOS program in a tutorial by a fellow who also does Tinderbox tutorials. I'm giving...
Do you use it on one computer, or are you syncing it to iCloud?

Okay, I have a confession to make. I have bought updates to Zengobi Curio every year for about 7 years now. And my problem with it is the same as the problem I had with PackRat for Windows several dec...
The demise of Circus Ponies Notebook sent me back to using the aging Aquaminds Notetaker (they are promising a new update). I'll probably continue using Notetaker hoping that they'll keep that promise...
When I first switched from Windows to Mac, there was a handful of apps that seemed to do similar things: Mori, Together, and DevonThink. There were others (and I can't remember all the names), but it ...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/18/2017
I'm lurking about on this thread as I have also dumped Ulysses. I never really got into Ulysses although I had one version or another of it for years. I get turned off from an app that starts off with...
Bye Bye Ulysses. Too many decent alternatives.
Aquaminds NoteTaker 4?
8/5/2017
Every time I start a new Notetaker file, I go to the aquaminds site to see if it still looks like things look moribund. I just shot over to it and was delighted to see that there is life still on the ...
Omni Outliner 5 is set to launch
4/4/2017
The official launch date appears to be April 5, 2017.
I became familiar with the names Dave Winer (ThinkTank was my first outliner), John Friend (PC Outline and GrandView were my 2nd and 3rd outliners), and Neil Larson (I loved MaxThink). But the introdu...
When I made the switch to Mac about a decade ago, I pored over www.atpm.com for weeks. I'm surprised but pleased that it is still up for others to peruse.
Not sure how far back you are indicating. I found Leading Edge Nutshell to be pretty much a file card metaphor. and the MSDOS version of askSam allowed making fields on a template using field names an...
Hi Stephen,
I'm also a fan of your videos on Vimeo. In fact, they are what prompted me to renew my commitment to tackling Tinderbox. The overviews posted by dominiquerenauld are also inspiring, but m...
My first choice for random notes pre-computer was medium-sized note cards. Learned how to use those in 6th grade, and that paradigm has stuck in my head. By 1984, Tornado Notes (later, the first versi...
Paul, I respect your opinion, and will give Tinderbox 7 a try. I need to get started on an invertebrate zoology course, and I'm going to start entering note in sort of piecemeal fashion (in relevent c...
I really want to love Tinderbox. There are some videos now by users, and they help me more than the dense documentation. DevonThink Pro would be great if it were more portable. I bounce back and forth...
Indeed, and if I was still a Windows guy these days, I'd no doubt love it. I can use Nota Bene under Wine. But it still looks so Windows-like.
I use OmniOutliner for all of my outlining chores, and it does have a third pane for text, but I've never viewed it as a primary notetaking app. Part of my fondness for the dead Circus Ponies Notebook...
Are any of you Mac users using either of these? I'm still pondering on what to use for taking notes. I really don't need one that talks to iOS, though I think both of these program do.
Or have any o...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/23/2017
I only use the OmniSync with OmniFocus, and I'm pretty sure that it's free. I find that OO 4 Pro is too big to use for lists like tasks, so I still use Notetaker (which appears to be turning into negl...
Tinderbox 7 has arrived
2/23/2017
Maybe this will get me to buckle down a learn this program.
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/23/2017
Even offering it for free might be a good idea. I have found no better outliner than Omni. When I try a free version of a program and like it, I'm usually happy to get the paid version.

"Introducing OmniOutliner Essentials: An Outliner for Everyone"
This is the header for an announcement for a low cost (1/0 the price of OmniOutliner 5) outlining app for the Mac. Got the notice in a...
Bear review
1/1/2017
Last week, I reviewed all of my options for what would become my default note-taking app. I have used Scrivener, and I like it for more polished end products, but not for notetaking. I am so frustrate...
iMindMap10 released today
12/8/2016
I have invested in the annual upgrades of iMindMap for about 8 years. With Novamind moving to a subscription that doesn't promise any major upgrades (subscriptions seem to lead to tweaks and bug fixes...
