Two-way sync between task manager and Google Calendar 7/13/2019

Notebooks 2.0 now available for macOS 7/12/2019

Yesterday I emailed the dev, Alfons Schmid, and he said the pricing discrepancy was inadvertent and he reduced the price on his site to match the Mac App Store's price: "the intended price is $39.99, ...

Two-way sync between task manager and Google Calendar 7/7/2019

2-way sync is either a technologically thorny problem, or maybe Google charges companies for the privilege. Since Ticktick's one-way sync can be so much slower, I'm really wondering if Todoist is payi...

Stanford's Protege for OWL 7/5/2019

I think poo-pooing the continuing security issues of Java are a mistake. It was just in 2015 that Frohoff and Lawrence found a dangerous flaw in the the way data was deserialized in Apache Commons Col...

Stanford's Protege for OWL 7/4/2019

Biggest ding on this project is that it's a Java Runtime app, meaning it's going to be relatively slow, and has intrinsic security concerns (I removed Java from my Mac and only use it when occasionall...

Agenda app gains Reminders integration (Mac beta) 7/4/2019

Another ditto. I'm warily using NotePlan more and more, but didn't quite get comfortable with Agenda for whatever reason. I do think that task/notes apps in the Apple ecosystem should all focus on ac...

interesting long piece about Evernote 6/29/2019

We've discussed Notion several times on the site; you might want to do a search. Personally I find it fiddly and requiring regular pruning and maintenance, as I would any personal Wiki app (which it ...

reMarkable Paper Tablet 6/25/2019

Interesting review the other day from MACWORLD. They seemed impressed by it, found it was more like writing on paper than an iPad Pro is. But the $500 street-sale-price was deemed still too high. htt...

Favored "bucket" app - DEVONthink v. Keep-It vs. EagleFiler etc 6/19/2019

Although I own Notebooks for Mac and iOS, and despite desiring a cross-platform solution, I'm still relying on EagleFiler on my Mac, which I've used for 3-4 years as a DEVONthink replacement. It's jus...

Multiple machines, multiple OSs, narrowing apps? 6/17/2019

Although neither Google Calendar nor Google Keep show ads, I'm increasingly uncomfortable putting my schedule and other info there. Unfortunately, my task manager only does 2-way sync with Google Cale...

Notebooks for Mac 2 beta available 6/16/2019

Is anyone here using the beta? I see the latest beta came out in May and it's up to x.20. I'm always nervous about using betas - how is the app, and are there any noteworthy new features?

BulletNotes.io (quite interesting but appears to need more work) 6/15/2019

Just ran across discussion of Bulletnotes app while researching Milanote (great-looking app, but way too pricey for me) on Hacker News. It's a cross between Dynalist and Trello, it's open source so ...
