SheetPlanner 2.0 Beta 1
7/23/2020
Yeah, you tell ’em, dude – that’s why I always sit in an underground Faraday cage when I’m working on my laptop. Okay, so it’s a bit damp and I don’t always he...
Sorry, “aggregating online systems” = “online aggregators”
It’s not as sophisticated as DEVONthink, but has certain advantages of its own: UltraRecall is very capable.
I’d argue that e-mail clients do actually fit the definition of “outline...
2019 reflection question
7/13/2020
I entirely agree: mental structures are a vital prerequisite for setting up useful/usable data structures, but do themselves evolve as you continue to use your digital structures. As multidimensional ...
Oh, and you get 2GB of storage, too, so a not insignificant amount considering it’s free.
A very pleasant environment that also acts as a chatroom is SamePage (samepage.io), which has a Free tier which is more than adequate for sharing documents, hosting (lengthy) chats and various other u...
PIM Cover story from 1988
7/9/2020
Wow, this brought back memories! I used to read these mags religiously.
OmniOutliner has got some great features, but I’d put a couple of other apps ahead at the present time.
Outlinely would be one – except, alas, that it appears to have gone moribund. But ...
A somewhat lateral approach to e-mail organisation is also possible using MailStore, a powerful e-mail archiving tool for Windows.
It can be used for hierarchical organisation, but what it really exc...
Dynalist adds backlinks
7/6/2020
Seems to have changed a little since that blog post – the backlinks do appear, but instead of listing them at the bottom of the page (quite real-estate-intensive), they appear as a number n...
Buying macOS Software now?
7/2/2020
Yes, I find myself watching Apple developments with trepidation. On the one hand, I would never move back to Windows (Note to Self: hm, careful, Bill, it would amuse everybody if you found yourself wo...
Another interesting option for Mac users is Canary Mail, which is also a single app (like Spark) – i.e. not an e-mail account aggregator (like Hey and others). Canary specialises in security, bu...
Oops, sorry, I’ve just realised it’s available on Android, too!
To return to your original question, Lucas: I guess the closest thing to Hey is Readdle’s Spark (available only for macOS and iOS, unfortunately). You’ll find a description here: https://s...
RemNote (Roam-like web app)
6/26/2020
That does look pretty cool. Alas, online only (which will suit some people – Dr Andus? – very well). But interesting, and hopefully they’ll release a desktop/mobile version at some p...
Heh, you got that right!

Another new app
6/25/2020
Sorry, folks, should have made that clear: Notebag is actually available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Another new app
6/25/2020
Well, you may be right, but I’m quite impressed that versions are available for macOS, Windows and Linux.
That suggests he’s fairly serious.
And there are plenty of individual developers...
Yojimbo 4.5
6/25/2020
Hey, nice to hear! Thanks for update…
Yojimbo’s a macOS app, for those who don’t know.
Another new app
6/25/2020
Well, it’s a nice app and he’s responsive to suggestions, so enough with the cutting criticism already! Maybe he has picked up on Roam/Obsidian - good for him: it’s not long ago that...
Another new app

Yo folks,
Re: Notebag (macOS only pro tem)
Yes, I recently took advantage of an offer by Mariner Software to buy a macOS app, Notebag, for a reduced price. It looked decidedly interesting (not least...
Sorry, I should make it quite clear that you can choose to export (a) an individual note, (b) a folder of notes or (c) the entire journal.
If you export the entire journal, MacJournal will create the...
It’s a good app - but I’ve found that unlike Typora, it doesn’t have a universal search function. Which is annoying.
Another macOS app it’s well worth exploring for this kind ...
Hey Jeffery,
Before committing to what sounds like a remarkably clunky process (I use and adore FM Pro, but would never use it for a project like the one you’ve described, not least because of ...
Multicolumn list program?
6/17/2020
Alas, Gingko appears to be on the wane, whereas Workflowy is very much on the rise...
