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.
Curio 14 released

That's what I use it for.
The performance issues mentioned in this thread must have gotten fixed before I star...
Curio 14 released

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.
To each his own...
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 don't see much I can do with OmniOutliner that I can't do with Sheetplanner, using ...

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...
2019 reflection question

I do most of my crimping vicariously, and wish this site were more active.
New products are good to hear about, because looking at a new answer to an old question helps find better ways to work, even...
2019 reflection question
1/2/2020
I'm happier with my writing environment than I've ever been, I think.
Devonthink handles my large document libraries. I've got one that's about 8500 documents in a hundred or so groups with about 400...
Thanks, Paul - I was trying to drag within the Organizer.
I appreciate your help!

How does that work, Paul? When I drag one Organizer entry onto another, it moves it as a child of the idea space I dragged it on.
That sounds like an interesting feature.

You are spot on. Tools don't do the work, anyway, the craftsman does.
Numbers is not unlike Curio, actually. For a corkboard, just delete any tables and use text boxes. For my use, the model of a bla...
Ditto this. Curio is not really that complex, once you get into it. It's more flexible than complex. You can think of it as Microsoft One Note on steroids, and you're not far off from what it is.
