It's expensive, but Flying Logic is designed for what-if and decision tree modeling. You might take a look at it.
Scrivener isn't so bad, nor is it hard to use. The best way to learn it is to explore the features you need, ignoring the rest until future needs arise.
It's not for everyone, which is just like ever...
Yep, me too - I use PWSafe for things that aren't a good fit for KeyChain, like software keys. There are web sites I've found that can confuse Safari's auto-fill. The manual approach with PWSafe is a ...
One of the things that's kept me on LastPass for Windows is the auto-type function, which is reasonably flexible. I use it for filling out some standard web access forms that go beyond username and pa...
Hmmm... I have fallen off the Scrivener bandwagon with great regret. Fine product, wonderful vendor, but I'm an odd duck. The "no style" paradigm for default text bugs me, and the compile process is t...
KeePass is a good local-file solution under Windows and possibly Mac's.
Linux, not so much. KeePass under Linux uses a library that (stupidly!) logs the contents of the clipboard on auto-clear. If yo...
I stand corrected on one point. I thought LastPass didn't encrypt usernames.
I remain negatively enthusiastic about LastPass. It's OK. I tend to be out of step.
Could be time to switch from LastPass and update passwords! :-)
Seriously, if any are still using LastPass, please consider all your passwords compromised from their recent breaches.

Tana?

Very interesting. I don't see how supertags and metadata work, but it looks very flexible. I can also see how it reminds one of Tinderbox.
Since Tana is SaaS (Software as a Service), I doubt I will b...

Drat. Forgot the link. https://www.dextronet.com
I also see that the targeted link in my email goes to an online cart with my personal information pre-populated. I'm not sure where the bundle offer i...

About $95 for Swift To-Do, Tree Notes, Mind Collected, and Fast Paste. These utilities are Windows-only.
I've heard Swift To-Do criticized for aesthetics. Personally, the look never bothered me and I...

Hyper Plan is an undiscovered gem. I use it as an early warning system for bills on monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles. When I pay a bill, I don't change its status to paid or anything like checkin...
New app, Bike

I bought Bike as an outliner. I wish it had tag filtering, but I also like what MadaboutDana observed. Bike is more like an enhanced text editor that will support outlines.
Regarding tag filtering, b...

+1 for tagging. Imagine you're writing a linear outline for a story with three plot threads. It would be nice to see the just the rows for Arc One, or Arc Two, or whatever.

It's interesting to hear how others work. That bit about tools shaping users is true. I think I get my best ideas for how to organize by getting a feel for common practices in tools I may never use.

Linking to a row, that's pretty neat - but how do you get back to the full outline?
I see that command click will open the row in a new tab. Is that the best use of links to rows?
Nice! I like the Bruce Lee quote.
Obsidian, One Note, whatever you use for organizing knowledge makes you aware of epistemology, and that's a good thing even if the word sounds like an old guy's snee...

Hi, ShiJianhui,
How do you find the new release of Tinderbox? I haven't had time to use it yet.

That model of infinite canvas with objects on it goes back for years in Numbers.
Much more flexible for my needs than Excel. That's a personal preference, of course.
Tinderbox v9 released
12/11/2022
Tinderbox 9.5 is out. I have a few months left on my updates, so I've installed it.
So far, it's not crashing on my system, something I saw on previous releases.
Also so far, I keep gravitating back...
The Longform team could take a few hints from Canvas. Longform is great, but as far as I see there's no way to add an existing note to a Longform project. You can transclude an existing note into a Lo...
Point well made. In truth, I've never run Dynalist and am not familiar with it at all. I saw "Dynalist" on the Paypal receipt and jumped to conclusions.

Interesting - Obsidian is a companion product from the same two or three people who created Dynalist. If you pay for the insider version of Obsidian, Paypal reports it as a payment to Dynalist.
As many canvasses as I want? How disappointing - I don't deserve things that nice!
I'm also a complete dolt. I thought Obsidian's entry level was a $25 subscription. I was wrong. $25 isn't that much ...
Nice. Tempting to subscribe to get this feature now.
Do you know if you can have multiple whiteboards?
