Notion.io is my new favorite
11/4/2018
Ha, yes, the "Board of Directors" test! Good luck with that - senior managers are undoubtedly the best/worst possible testing group of all!
I've tried so many solutions for client extranets that have...
It is a good app, I must say, especially if you use subtasks for notes!
Outliner for nonfiction book
11/1/2018
Franz is quite right. And of course you can turn Scrivener into a simple one-pane outliner if you want to (using the appropriate Workspace setup). But with all the bells and whistles in the background...
TheBrain 10 released
11/1/2018
Personally, I'd as soon use WriteMapper to do what you've described (https://writemapper.com). It's available for macOS, Windows and iOS, and costs a small fraction of TheBrain. Of course it's only go...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
10/30/2018
Outlining in Ulysses would be amazing, I must say. It's neck and neck with Bear in my affections...
But iaWriter has also made some great progress recently. And there are some promising new arrivals,...
Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul
10/30/2018
For your purposes, Ken, it sounds as if you should take another look at 2Do. It's been evolving at amazing speed, and the latest version is a cunning blend of simplicity and complexity. You can read a...
Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul
10/29/2018
Hey Ken,
No, I stopped using RTM a little while ago after discussing task management concerns with my colleagues. We've gone back to using the ever-evolving TickTick, which remains a very convenient ...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
10/29/2018
I agree: if Ulysses, iaWriter, Bear or any number of other competent markdown apps (e.g. Strike, MWeb, TextNut) included simple folding (under hierarchical headings, for example, as very well done by ...
Todoist 2018
10/22/2018
Just a suggestion for notes - while I was working with Todoist, which I did for a while because it's effectively a powerful outliner (albeit with some really annoying features, which is why I ditched ...
Processes not tools
9/25/2018
I think there are some great points here. And if I weren't an inveterate CRIMPer, I would embrace your philosophy wholeheartedly!
On the other hand, the term "mainstream" is a problematic one (as a f...
Actually, in view of your needs, you could do worse than look at Zettlr (recently referenced in another thread). I'm using it in conjunction with AutoTask (formerly Soonr, a business-oriented Dropbox ...
Actually, I lied (inadvertently!): I hadn't noticed that there is a magnification option, you can enlarge/reduce the size of displayed text. Given it's all in Markdown anyway, this seems perfectly ade...
SheetPlanner Beta 7
9/23/2018
Sounds like good sense – since topics are automatically moved to the top of the heap when somebody adds a new message (i.e. most recently discussed topic shows first in the list), new releases w...
Well, back in August, after reading this exchange, I downloaded Zettlr -- and then promptly forgot about it.
I've just installed it now, and I have to say it's a rather nice poor person's Ulysses: re...
Agreed with the personal Google thing. It's why I still use FoxTrot Pro on my Mac - vastly more powerful (and useful) than Spotlight, and allows me to build as many categories as I like. Or search on ...

SheetPlanner Beta 6
9/20/2018
That's interesting, especially the italicising bit. Thanks, Peter!
SheetPlanner Beta 6
9/19/2018
Some very nice revisions, Peter, and it's a lot more stable than it was - I was on the point of sending you a whole list of things when you released B5 (already much better). But B6 is a big step forw...
So Numbers is now an outliner
9/19/2018
I have to agree with you - not really very friendly, unless you're doing data analysis. Although grouping works well enough, and does turn Numbers into a very basic outliner.
Ah well.
So Numbers is now an outliner
9/18/2018
You're right, Franz, I'm familiar with Excel's grouping. What I've always loved about Numbers is that it's far more than a spreadsheet program (although I confess I've never felt tempted to write a no...
So Numbers is now an outliner
9/18/2018
Apple's wonderful Numbers has just been updated with a raft of new features, including... outlining!
I'm not quite sure how this works yet, because I haven't had a chance to play with it, but a nice ...
TickTick steadily improves
9/18/2018
Ah, those marriages of convenience... I blush to admit I've now abandoned Pagico, mainly because of its infuriating habit of insisting on contacting the Mothership before it'll let you use it. I had a...
@Glen,
Yes, I think Dokuwiki is one of those unsung giants that's actually far more powerful than it appears at first sight. Interesting insights into your software collection (and the reasoning for ...
Trilium Notes - new note taking app
9/4/2018
Looks pretty cool - I'll be happy to play with the Mac version!
Teaser - Polywick Story Server
9/4/2018
Hm, yes, I'm afraid that does make sense. The decision to leave the old UI untouched suggests that Pierre has hit the nail on the head - the look is so old-fashioned!
