Curio 14.2 is out
7/18/2020
Curio 14.2 has been released, and I hate to sound like a shill but I really like it. Your mileage may vary, of course.
A nice improvement in this release is you can add subtitles to journal entries, ...

Those columns are handy. I haven't done it in a real project yet - and may not ...
Mellel 5 is out
7/3/2020
Ulysses is great. I used it for a while, and its IOS app is one of the best. It's one of the few IOS companion apps that isn't feature-limited.
Markdown is cool.
Mellel is a totally different animal...

Yes, that's true, I should have mentioned that. There is a nice IOS version, too. With a Bluetooth keyboard, Mellel is a good mobile word p...
Mellel 5 is out

Well, take me with a grain of salt when I get giddy. I thought I saw a mention of timelines in the release notes, but I think I hallucinated.
Mellel 5 is out

Mellel appears to have gotten a lot stronger today, not that it was a weakling to begin with. Real docx export appears to be supported along with epub. Mellel isn't an island any more.
It's never th...
Buying macOS Software now?
7/1/2020
Certain Mac apps are very addictive. Devonthink, Curio, Nisus Writer, and a few others see constant use here.
On the other hand, Linux is the only safe environment I see. It's tempting to move back, ...
Versatil Markdown looks really nice - thanks for the link.

That's what I use it for.

For me, Tinderbox was too much like an IDE for information - but part of that impression is probably my fault for not understanding the Tinderbox way of doing things.
Regarding performance, the Curio...
Curio 14 released
5/22/2020
As always, different strokes for different folks.
I find Curio about as fast as One Note, if I'm using it similar to how I would use One Note. For instance, for a One Note-like experience, don't add ...
White board software

Interesting apps mentioned in this thread. Curio is still doing well for me, but I could do what I needed with Numbers.
Numbers has tabs, Curio has Idea Spaces. Curio is quicker to enter blocks of te...
Sounds like a great showcase for categorization. I'm not a botanist, but would appreciate examples of how this would be organized.
It seems to me that a strict hierarchy would be enough to pigeonhole...
TreePad site is up. Slightly different.

How sheltered of me. I didn't know what those things were at first.
When I was raising my kids I told them many times that sobriety ain't half bad when you consider the alternatives.

RightNote 4.6

The "future expired" web page is a redirect from myorderbox dot com. I've never heard of myorderbox. No idea if they are a threat or not.
The expiration date is pretty odd. One would think in this da...
Hmmm - not sure what happened to my last post. Hopefully this isn't a duplicate.
I decided to buy Sheetplanner.

I remain intrigued by Sheetplanner. It's quick and handy for entering tasks.
Thinking about uses, it might be good for logging. Enter a task with predicted duration (or zero duration). When you chec...
One thing I've found limiting with OmniFocus is everything goes in out database. I like to have separate task/to-do lists. For instance, if I'm working on a technical document, it's nice to have a sep...

I could live without OmniOutliner. Curio has been a real delight to use in recent weeks, but outlining can be done a lot of different ways. The columns in OO are nice, but I end up not using them much...
Devontthink/Curio/Nisus tip
1/20/2020
I think Devonthink and Curio are both fine tools and I'm glad I have both.
Nisus suits my tastes for word processing, but there's a minor problem with Nisus and either Devonthink or Curio.
Both DT a...
Hierarchical tags
1/5/2020
The recent post about Zettlekasten may provide some food for thought.
If you can search for tags with wildcards, like "recipe.*" it sounds like your solution would work. Even if you can't, the additi...
Zettelkasten is a neat concept. One drawback in my newest fascination, Curio, is that it doesn't support hierarchical tags.
If you can impose a hierarchy on tags, they become an alternate organizatio...
