DEVONthink 3 Public Beta Now Open
4/25/2019
For any who haven't found what DT 3 is going to cost, I found the prices in the Devonthink account page (https://www.devontechnologies.com/customers).
After I logged in there, it listed my one licens...
Mind Node 6
4/24/2019
Mind Node 6, out today, adds a focus mode. It's not what precisely what I was expecting, but I like it.
Command-Shift-F enters focus mode. That grays out the parents and grandparents, and dims the re...
Sounds similar to Randy Ingermanson’s snowflake method, or Hemingway’s initial step, write the truest sentence you can.
My theory is every work starts with a thing often called an outline...
Tinderbox 8 is released
4/17/2019
I bought Tinderbox a while back, and I have no regrets. I don't actually use it, but software like this needs support.
Devonthink always draws me back, though. For notes for a story, it's overkill, b...
I didn't make use of tags for a long time, but now I'd hate to do without them. If GTD's idea of concepts is similar to Omnifocus's old notion of concepts, I agree. OF's old contexts were stilted beca...
I salute the folks at Astrohaus. Anyone who makes software or hardware dedicated to writing has my respect.
Today, they have gone the extra mile. Check it out, the totally distraction free one-key Te...
OmniOutliner as a Daily Jounal
3/25/2019
I used OO for a journal, at least briefly. I distrust special purpose apps - or, at least, I prefer using an app where my data is recoverable outside the application. OO didn't bother me there because...
Omnifocus as a Tool for Lists, not Tasks
3/23/2019
>>It would be good to have a "disappear" option for completed
>>items, but hey, I'm sure they'll get around to it.
The "disappear" setup I like best is to choose Available with the eye icon. Either A...
SheetPlanner 1.1 Beta
3/20/2019
I think I'm going to get a copy of Sheetplanner. I haven't looked at the price, yet, but that's just my keen skills at avoiding impulse purchasing.
First, I convince myself something is worth having,...
SheetPlanner 1.1 Beta
3/20/2019
Looks nice!
Are projects kept in files, or in one in-app database?
I’m rather hooked on OmniFocus, but would like an organizer that let me set up todo lists in separate files. Sheet planner is...
MindNode 6.0
3/16/2019
Focus mode looks intriguing. The Brain leverages doorway effect, or it seems to for me. This might do the same thing.
Eager to try it out. Nice that they are giving it away for MindNode 5 license hol...
Mellel musings
3/11/2019
I bought Mellel recently. It may be of great use - it has an iOS version, which is nice - but I'm not sure if the export options are enough for my use. It doesn't export to docx or epub, and I don't s...
Ulysses v15 Released
3/11/2019
Ulysses is almost perfect for writing in a lightly formatted way, but one basket for all the eggs is still limiting.
The new keyword manager is nice, but there's only one set of keywords across every...
Mellel for iPad
2/28/2019
Mellel for iOS got me into their camp.
I've been quite the Nisus partisan for several reasons. For one thing, I was blessed with parents who did everything they could to raise me right. My formative ...

New Ulysses features coming
1/12/2019
There is a new beta open for a new Ulysses release - https://ulysses.app/blog/.
There is going to be an editor split view, which is probably more of a big deal for IOS than on the Mac. You can alread...
Omnifocus 3.0 to come out Monday
1/9/2019
True, but you can delete everything you don’t want from the exported file.

Omnifocus 3.0 to come out Monday
1/7/2019
Thanks, Paul, that's a great suggestion. It works perfectly.
OmniFocus for IOS apparently doesn't have the ability to open a backup or foreign database, so that makes my idea less than ideal.
I have...
Omnifocus 3.0 to come out Monday
1/7/2019
I think I've learned something new today.
One of the very few complaints I've had about OmniFocus is the everything-in-one-basket approach. I have writing projects I start that never get off the grou...
Question About Kanban Boards
12/31/2018
Hyper Plan - I haven't looked at that in a long time.
My New Year's Resolution to stop buying note/organizational software held firm until nearly the end of the old year.
I can call that victory.
I...
OutlinerSoftware.com misconfigured
12/30/2018
Hmmm... From the outside looking in, the certificate was issued in July 2018 and doesn't expire until July 2019. I can't replicate a problem.
Some companies monitor encrypted web surfing with proxies...
What a cool thread!
I don't think of my organizational stuff as hybrid, but I'm also never without 3x5 cards. It bugs me when I start to deplete a spiral notebook. With index cards, I can always just...

Season's greetings

Best wishes for all, and my gratitude for your hospitality.
My #1 New Years Resolution this year, just after the ones regarding support and protection of my family, is to be better organized.

I'm going to try Agenda and if it does any good at all I'm going to buy the pro version.
Agenda is a free download. For ten bucks or so you unlock advanced features, and that unlocks the extra featur...
