Nice one, Maurice, especially the Shortcuts compatibility and the forward/back buttons – funnily enough, I was going to write to you suggesting that!
Brilliant. I’ll look forward to playi...
I’ve just been reminded by my weekly NessLabs newsletter that Anne-Laure Le Cunff has lots of useful tips on brain organising/stimulating apps. In fact, she writes well and generously on a whole...

Brainstorming tools

That’s one of the ones I tried: IdeaFisher! I did try it out, but really… the human mind just doesn’t work like that. Trying to generate ideas by ticking boxes? The results are, pred...

Ah, the famous “first, you must ask the right question” conundrum (cf. “I, Robot” – the film, not the original Asimov book)
You could, of course, use brainstorming preci...

Heh, love it.
I like UpDate very much, and would recommend a lifetime purchase – it’s a very flexible app under constant development, and the developer is very responsive to suggestions ...
Brainstorming tools

Brainstorming is a great activity, but as multiple studies have shown, brainstorming around a table – especially in corporate groups – is not always productive.
More productive, it a...
Ha, yes, everything you say is spot on. We experimented with SharePoint a few years ago, and after desperately trying to control the efflorescence, I finally gave up and sacked it.
We even had a spec...
I use it as my regular backup system now, running on a Mac Mini; it’s very reliable and picks up e-mail at least as well as any of the (many) e-mail clients I’ve experimented with over the...

I have NoteTaker, but to be honest never use it. I’m much more likely to use either Evernote (excellent web clipper), UpNote (also very good web clipper) or Bear (good web clipper) to save web p...

He's a gifted guy, but very frustrating. The latest version of TaskPaper was amazing (AND a very good outliner, what's more!), but no iOS version, no roadmap... grrrr.

It's a fascinating problem, especially for small businesses without dedicated IT departments.
I looked into this at great length back in the early 2000s, and concluded that Novell GroupWise would ind...
Notion.io is my new favorite

I do like Notion – very much – but you've hit the nail on the head: always beware of an app where you may end up spending more time playing with the ingenious possibilities offered by the ...

Dashword is looking good – and making steady progress.

Heh, sorry! But yes, it does boil down to a philosophical issue, perhaps, and Zavala is similar to Outlinely, in that it positively encourages one to create lots of outlines sitting together in one bi...
As a Zavala user, I think this is an interesting idea.
I like the focus option too, mind you, simply because it often serves to focus the mind – you don't necessarily want to change the st...
Hm, might have to evaluate DocFetcher Pro myself, in view of the boosted price of FoxTrot Pro 7.0... ;-)
More on DocFetcher: http://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html (I'd forgotten just how powerful even the free version is)

Heh, thank you, Larry – but alas, I'm vegan (although because that's a trigger for many people – for reasons that, I confess, are totally unclear to me – I now generally tell pe...
I dunno, I thought it was quite funny, I must confess.
But yes, I work in an office and have no interest in using verbal cues of any kind to interact with my computers. Which is why I haven’t ...
Just a thought, but in the same way as I’ve abandoned one single information repository for a powerful search engine (in my case, FoxTrot Pro), you may find you give yourself more flexibility if...
For those who want more details without necessarily installing the app, there’s plenty of info on the Support pages of the developer’s website: https://exploreandcreate.com
Frames is an app I stumbled across in the Mac App Store – at its most basic a multi-pane outliner, but capable of extensive cross-referencing and transclusion, complete with a neat implementatio...
