DEVONthink 4 -- now in public beta
4/4/2025
Something was definitely amiss, which is a shame.
EagleFiler, if I understand correctly, is a database used to reference regular files on your filesystem. DT is the same thing, really.
If you go to ...
DEVONthink 4 -- now in public beta
4/4/2025
I'll have to buy a new Mac to run DT4, unfortunately. My ten year old Macs can't run recent versions of MacOS.
The AI stuff is worrisome, although the see-also functionality is really nice in DT3. Th...
thoughts on outlining and transclusion
3/31/2025
I'm having tremendous fun with outlining via transclusion. By separating factoids from narrative, I seem to avoid a big trap.
If I outline in a traditional way, I tend to over-outline, completely kil...

I think Johnny Decimal is pretty cool, but I also think it proves an axiom. Any system will work to at least some degree as long as you have a system. I'm not trying to be snarky and I respect the tho...
MyInfo Is My Choice

Very timely discussion.
I'm writing a self help book on how to get out of debt. A thoroughly cheerless topic, but one I had to deal with. I'm now debt free with a credit rating as high as my golf han...

BYOK app
1/8/2025
One of the reasons I liked my old Neo was it was more replaceable than my laptop. I could carry it on my open sailboat in a dry bag and write while beached somewhere. Not the environment I would want ...
BYOK app
1/7/2025
An update - it's a web app. More power to those who find solutions in the cloud. For me, local only is best, local first is a minimum requirement.
BYOK app

The BYOK writing device folks have announced a companion app to the BYOK mobile writing device.
The video and related information can be found on the BYOK's web site, byok.io.
It might be easy to mi...
Zettelgarden

Interesting. I've been thinking about a pure Python Zettelkasten. I can't install unapproved software on my work laptop, and company approved notetaking stops with Notepad++ and OneNote.
OneNote's fa...
Best Wishes for 2025 !

Many thanks to the scholars and artists, writers all, who have shared so many wonderful ideas here. I've benefitted much.
Some of Mellel's own literature says it's not for everyone, and my addiction to it is not entirely product based.
When I first looked at Mellel, either version 3 or 4, I had the pleasure of a short e...
Scrivener is highly recommendable.
That said, I don't use it for the reasons you cite and there's one other thing, very silly of me.
There is a style in Scrivener called No Style. I really like styl...
I'll second this - nice topic.

The current version of OmniOutliner won't run on my old Mac. OutlineEdit may not be a viable alternative for the long haul. Bike is wonderful, but I have a wandering eye.
So, I've been outlining with...
OutlineEdit 3 released
11/28/2024
I regret to note OutlineEdit is no longer in the Apple App store. I believe this one fell by the wayside.
Hopefully, I'm wrong. It was pleasant to use.

MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next
11/27/2024
Sounds like MindNode Classic will continue to serve.
I use it in outline mode at least as much as MindMap view. One thing I like about it as an outliner is I can add newlines in the notes for a node ...

That's good to hear, Paul. Thanks for the clarification.
Note to self - "investigate" before "grumpy" next time. ;-)

I'm always nervous when an app doesn't say up front whether or not it depends on cloud support. It's a personal failing. I don't want the possibility of anyone seeing any of my creative writing in pro...
