If you type foreign language on a Mac
11/7/2021
Keyboard Maestro is pretty cool. Version 10 just came out with macro subroutines.
The keyboard option in the Mac's System Preferences lets you select foreign keyboards. If your layout is not quite ri...
SheetPlanner 2.1 Sync & Collaboration
10/27/2021
All the best Peter - sounds exciting. I would volunteer, but I'm afraid I would just let you down. Work is nonstop right now.
Nice to have a paycheck, though, so I moderate my whining about the hours...
Aeon Timeline 3 - wow.
9/30/2021
I haven't yet had time for a deep dive, and had the same first impression you got. It's complex.
After a few minutes, it seems to be just stuff you can add to events as needed. I think it's like flyi...
Aeon Timeline 3 - wow.
9/30/2021
Aeon 3 was released today, and I hope it really is what it looks like on a quick glance.
You get a spreadsheet view. That appears to allow quick event entry.
Events can be seen on a timeline, of cou...
Notes and Reminders in iOS 15

The scanner feature is nice in Notes. Easy cropping, seems to correct for camera aspect well.
How do you deal with Privacy?
9/4/2021
Thank you! I had not entered an encryption key on my sync store. I haven't tested it, but I'm quite sure you're correct and I was wrong.
My apologies to any I misled. I, too, am an enthusiastic Devon...
How do you deal with Privacy?

Too few people take privacy seriously. Witness how few people encrypt email, even though it's simple and automatic with most email clients.
How do you deal with Privacy?

Ok, I checked. Devonthink doesn't encrypt sync stores, and I suspect I know why.
If you changed one character in one file in a ten gig database, the whole ten gig would (probably) change, not just th...

My secure cloud is an encrypted thumb drive. Synching is done by a combination of Chronosync and Devonthink's sync store facilities.
My to-do's don't include anything particularly private. If I had a...
Planning & executing

As Eisenhower, or Captain Picard, or somebody we've all heard of before once said, no plan survives contact with the enemy. :-)
Easy Data Transform
7/27/2021
Ditto everything you said, Prion.
I got EDT from the Summerfest sale, and I figure I got my money's worth on my first use.
A bunch of financial information was available from one outfit, but poorly ...
Hierarchies or Networks?
7/26/2021
TheBrain's jump thoughts remain intriguing.
I'm not sure if I correctly understand the difference between network relationships and hierarchical.
I think I use tags to form what you're referring to ...
I have a friend who wants to search and relate PDF files on a Windows machine.
Devonthink's "see also" function is pretty cool, but he needs that kind of functionality in Windows.
Windows-based sugg...
Individual tools addressing individual problems suit me. I could almost be happy with vim and Affinity Publisher for word processing.
On the other hand, yesterday I ran across a need for merge fields...
Anyone using Roadmap by Swiftapp?
7/2/2021
Looking for swimlane planning apps, I found Roadmap for MacOS and iOS on the Apple App Store, also at https://roadmapgo.com/getapps.
I'm not as opposed to subscriptions as I once was. An app that doe...
Web Clipper
7/1/2021
There are recent posts in Devonthink's forums about some pending fixes their web clipping features. Right now, tags added to web clippings don't get saved. The next minor release has the fix.
Anyway,...
Going with what you know

Jottacloud sounds interesting. How is the encryption?
One thing I liked about Spideroak was the encryption was at the endpoint. Spideroak's servers didn't do any encryption or decryption. That was al...
Artisanal software sale

Apologies if this is a duplicate post. My browser burped. I don't see my post. I resurrected the below from browser history.
Andy,
I bought Easy Data Plan. Currently, I have only one use for it. I c...
Artisanal software sale

I just saw the video for Easy Data Transform - impressive!
Our local property tax district is out of control. I asked for a copy of the tax roll and got a text file containing a single line of 336 mi...

HyperPlan has been very useful as a companion to task lists.
In my world, managers and customers always craft guaranteed failure modes before making requests. It's like they want to win the lottery, ...
Mapping System with Attributes
6/16/2021
I got interested in Flying Logic and theory of constraints, which sounds like might be applicable to what you're talking about.
Back then I didn't have cash woes and bought a copy of Flying Logic. It...
Mac software recommendations

A week or two ago I spent about 10 minutes experimenting with OO styles. It's worth learning how they work.
Styles seemed buggy at first, but that was due to assumptions I made that were wrong.

PDFDiff for Mac
6/7/2021
I am not well informed about PDF internals, but I know enough to see comparing them has got to be challenging. Neat application!
Mac software recommendations

I use Devonthink heavily. From a brief look at Curio 16 I see it's got some good refinements. In the past I've had scrolling issues on some "figures," what Curio calls objects like text boxes.
