Ah, sorry! I meant to post this in the Noteship thread. Idiot. I’ll copy it over there.

The more I use Noteship, the more impressed I am by the ease with which you can manage large amounts of data.
There are folders and subfolders. Top-level folders can be displayed as “sections&#...

Have to agree with this. Although my latest discovery, Noteship (mentioned elsewhere on the forum) is currently revolutionising my life. And you can easily import PDFs and other files, too.

If you want to support the developer, you can also buy FSNotes on the Mac App Store and as a mobile app on the App Store.
It’s hugely improved, I must say!
One of its neatest features is the ability to pull together a summary view of all paragraphs that start with the same heading.
So if you’ve got 15 notes with a paragraph headed “Lessons L...

Outstanding! I’m really pleased to hear that. It’s a fascinating app, and every time I play with it I feel I’ve somehow failed to use it to the full...

I guess we ought to find something to call that kind of software: CRIMP Trigger?
Suggestions welcome ;-)

Sorry, folks, but for the time being, this is confined to macOS users ;-)

I entirely agree with @Alexander that a beautiful, satisfying UI/UX is much more important than is generally acknowledged by the Greater Developer Community.
Look at the mind-blowing popularity of Cr...

I like Franz’s ultra-simple, time-delimited approach – after 30 minutes, what have I achieved, and how will this affect my research priorities going forward?

UpNote continues to improve

It’s got a very nice web page clipper, too – one of the more reliable ones!
Cheers,

I like this methodology, @Franz – nice, tight approach.

NoteFrog is now free

It’s always worked well for me, but I won’t pretend I’m a heavy user. It’s a great place for jotting stuff quickly down.

Also worth looking at TickTick, which supports attachments and kanban views (you can alternate between a List and a Kanban view).
It also supports extensive note-taking as well as task management, a...

Rather nice.
For a simple cross-platform alternative, there is always SimpleNote (by Automattic), which is clean, well-designed, includes tagging and has an excellent search function.
DoogiePIM v3 for Windows is out

Hey Sarah,
Yes, EssentialPIM seems to have improved steadily since I last used it in anger, some 5-6 years ago. I’ve always liked its simplicity. And the Android/iOS client is very convenient (...

I remember EssentialPIM was pretty good, too – I haven’t looked at that for years.
As I remember, one could network-enable it, too – it ran on Firebase or some such backend.

Interesting, @Sarah, many thanks for posting. I have fond memories of DoOrganizer, but hadn’t realised it had metamorphosed into DoogiePIM.
Looks amazingly comprehensive for such a reasonably p...

To the hierarchy/network duo, I’d add comparison. Personally, I find the ability to view multiple pieces of information side by side invaluable; it’s why I can’t bear Agenda, which, ...
Well, the ultimate tool on Windows is dtSearch (even now), but it’s relatively expensive, so maybe he could look at e.g. X1 or Copernic (I used Copernic when I was still on Windows). Having said...
Hm, that’s interesting. I know I’ve had suspicions about PDF Search’s accuracy on macOS before (I haven’t used the iOS version – actually, I didn’t realised there w...
