When you pay for a Notecase Pro license, the developer sends you a license "key" - a file. I bought a lifetime, multi-platform license - the software is that good, and the price is that reasonable. So...
PC Notebook & Outliner

Also supports wonderful commands for editing the outline (shift-arrow), tags, mark and gather, and powerful searching.
PC Notebook & Outliner
12/17/2014
I'm a longtime user of Notecase Pro. Cherry Tree is a work-alike. This is a two pane outliner, but with the ability to putting images, files, links on the right, and outline headings on the left.

SmartDown update: since I see that my trial version is about to expire (on Dec. 10), I went to the site to see what the price is.it looks like it will be $24.99, with an introductory price of $19,99. ...
WriteMonkey gets better and better
12/3/2014
I've gotten intrigued by markdown editors, and WriteMonkey has a great reputation. Does it have a plugin for code folding?

Thank you for posting here. And thank you for developing such an intriguing and useful product.
I tried Moo.do yesterday for quite a while, both on my iPad 2 and my Nexus 7. There are many things to ...

Sorry, ignore that last few lines of the previous post. I don't seem to be able to go back and clean it up.
SmartDown

I spent an hour or so with SmartDown today, and wrote this blog entry:

I like it a lot. But like many of us here, I'm ...
Both of these are really excellent additions to the software. Thanks for encouraging me to take another look at it. I've also taken a look at SmartDown, which is another fascinating, small, quick litt...
Discount for RightNote
11/7/2014
I use Notecase Pro, which runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. It's cheaper, full-featured, robust, and under significant development. I haven't used Rightnote. But what's the advantage? I assume it has o...
PC OUTLINE

I used to use this. I'd like to use it again.
But I can't find the DOS download. And I always heard terrible things about the Windows version.
Is there an official link for the old file? I'm happy t...
He said in the letter that they hit their revenue goals. Sometimes I think that it's not a bad thing to write a fine piece of software and have it do all right, rather than be the next big blockbuster...
Folia
8/22/2014
Sorry, haven't actually tried this one yet. I thought the ability to read in and annotate pdfs would appeal to some of the users here - not something I do very often.

I did buy the "unlock everything" version for $2.99 - a steal. I've only spent a little time with it so far, because it has one odd bug - if you're using it with a Bluetooth keyboard, you can't "save"...

Good find, and most interesting. I'll take a look at it. Has anyone else?
Online (Cloud) Outliners
8/21/2014
I don't know how common my experience is. But in the course of a day, I move from Windows to Mac to iPad to Android. Outliners (and to a lesser extent, mind maps) really capture the way I think. Inevi...
Online (Cloud) Outliners
8/19/2014
Just a few you haven't mentioned.
http://sproutliner.com/ - multi-column, but not a writing tool.
http://www.tidylines.com OK, but no word count, and can't find a way to save on that site.

Scrivener for Linux
7/23/2014
I just downloaded and installed the .deb file for the 64 bit version of Scrivener. That meant it was a one-click install on my Ubuntu box. This version is 1.7.2.3, and appears to be free until January...

Freeplane - new release
6/13/2014
May I ask why you've decided to go with Freeplane as your outliner of choice?
I used to use it a lot, then kind of drifted away from it. I'd missed the whole "outliner" mode, which looks pretty good ...
Oh, and Planz is Windows based.
Not sure if this was quite what you were looking for. It's called Planz - http://kftf.ischool.washington.edu/planner_index.htm
