Coppice is back!
7/2/2026
Interesting. I've been playing with Coppice (not for long, admittedly), and so far it's been rather good. There are things still missing and a couple of clunkers, but also some very nice, elegant touc...
Coppice is back!

A wonderful Mac app known as Coppice, originally developed by Martin Pilkington who then, alas, died, has been updated and brought back to the Mac App Store by a friend of his, Stephen Troughton-Smith...
Miss the old VooDooPad?

Well, if there's two things that would be wonderful:
a) folding (under headers, perhaps)
b) the ability, currently exclusive to Ulysses (and the alas defunct Novellus), to view multiple documents/no...

It's unbelievably powerful, Mark – I've been sitting there admiring the gorgeous graph and the various views it supports (as well as the fact that you can view pages alongside the graph). Wow.
I s...

I can confirm that I run Ollama in local-only mode (you can completely deactivate its web access), generally running Qwen3 as my local model (pretty good, on the whole). I've been running it with note...

And now the embedding is consistent! Great stuff.

Ah, weird. It's just embedded, after I converted the page to markdown and then back to rich text... not quite sure how I did that. I'll see if it's reproducible...

Hm, no, just downloaded 1.5.1, and I'm not seeing an embed. Maybe because of folders?

Quiver redux

It's great to see it back – I've just reopened a Quiver library I haven't checked out since 2015!!!

Hot dang, Mark, this is really very impressive. It's much more functional and friendly than VoodooPad, while retaining the best aspects of the latter (although I think you'll probably need to put "Col...

And Vivaldi. And Edge. And Opera. Cool!

Dang, I love the combined graph/note view, too – it's more coherent than Obsidian's!

Love version 1.30, incidentally – and am seriously impressed by the different themes. Very nice!

It does make you despair of human nature, doesn't it? How weird – you're effectively offering a revitalised VoodooPad to people who love(d) VoodooPad, and some t*t decides this isn't acceptable, so yo...

I'm particularly impressed by the static website publishing function – very nice. A search feature would be a very desirable addition, but I appreciate one can't have everything...
GetDoneNow - a focus timer that asks you to validate your focus every 5 minutes (feedback welcome)
6/18/2026
Interesting concept, but I'd love something with a time you could set yourself. Personally, I like to break every 30 minutes, but often forget, because apps designed to track time don't automatically ...

Nice job! Especially the compatibility with the original VoodooPad. A very elegant creation!
Bear releases Lettera

Fans of Bear on macOS/iOS will know it as a very pleasant markdown environment with its own database of notes etc., nice to use, fast to sync, etc.
Now Bear have released the beta of Lettera, their...

Database for MacOS

We recently evaluated a number of database alternatives as we seek to move from our (ancient) FileMaker system to something more flexible. We looked at Ninox, Coda, Airtable and Grist, but eventually ...
Kosshi Is Database-Backed Outlining
6/1/2026
I know what Kosshi reminds me of – Outlinely, a truly impressive MacOS and iOS outliner that was discontinued some years ago (2018) but does still run on modern Macs. I used it a lot – it was immensel...
