Promising new notes app
7/21/2018
Just playing with a very promising, simple but elegant notes app (for macOS/iOS, I'm afraid - sorry!) called UpNote.
It's got a number of unusual features. These include:
- bookmarks that appear in ...
Journaling, a simplistic view
7/21/2018
Personally, I'd be using one of the many excellent markdown writing tools out there. If you're on Windows, you could do worse than the latest version of iaWriter (which is turning into a very sophisti...

On the one hand - on the other, DEVONthink does keep files in databases, which are effectively a single proprietary file (dtBase2 format).
So although you can easily extract files from DEVONthink, y...

On the way, apparently.
Gingko Desktop update
7/20/2018
It's a lovely program to write in, although as remarked already, it could do with a lot more options!
The search function is really a filter function (it finds stuff, but doesn't highlight it; found ...

Yes, looking very stable so far. I did notice a minor bug when I first started testing it a couple of days ago, but stupidly forgot to note it down and can't now replicate it (probably a good thing!)....
But Notebooks *does* handle images, and treats PDFs as embedded files (i.e. you can search and view them seamlessly).
However, I have to say that for me (i.e. working on macOS), FoxTrot is one of the...

Talking of InfoRapid KnowledgeBaseBuilder, I'm amused to find that the macOS version is still being developed and is now up to version 6.5!
And a remarkably powerful piece of software it is, too. I'v...
improvements to the forum

That's a nice idea. I can't see everybody remembering to do what you're suggesting, but in principle I like it!
MacJournal
7/9/2018
Hm, yes, it appears to be older than I thought (2016, to be precise).
And yes, I've had precisely the same 100%-crash record whenever I try to change icons (for either journals or entries).
But I ha...

And finally, it has a whole bunch of formatting tricks I normally associate with programmers' text editors in a special "Clean Up" menu, including
- removal of multiple spaces (turning them into one ...

Yup, that was my understanding.
You can also instantly import web pages (as well as any other kind of file) by printing them to MacJournal - it automatically creates a suitable entry for Safari.

Oh, and encryption, too.

Good grief! I hadn't realised just how powerful MacJournal is!
You can effectively use it as a full-scale info management app. There's rich text and markdown, tagging, templates, "smart" journals (= ...
I would recommend Notebooks like a shot, if the desktop versions weren't so much less powerful than the iOS version. Alfons has been working on a new version for a long time now, but news has become a...

I have to say, the latest version of SheetPlanner is looking fantastically sophisticated! I begin to understand the pricing...

Hi Peter,
I tend to agree with Paul that you're attempting a high price for an unproven product, especially single-platform. You could end up being very frustrated.
On the other hand, a 2-week test ...

Another rather impressive online option is RexPad (https://www.rexpad.com), which appears to be maturing nicely.
I'd love to see offline apps (desktop and mobile), myself, but it's a great proof of ...

Excellent suggestions by Paul - can't think of anything better or additional.

Ah; that's the "glass half empty" reply you'll NEVER hear from a true CRIMPer. We thrive on extremely outdated data! And often, on extremely outdated data-manipulating apps!

Why folding?

Well, I had no idea – I shall have to check it out (again; I periodically install and then somewhat regretfully uninstall NoteCase Pro... no iOS version, you see)

I agree with Luhmann - yes, I know I witter on about folding all the time, but actually it's about being able to focus specifically on one thing while maintaining a broad overview of a host of other (...
Dang! That's good news!

Hi Smithers, welcome as a posting member to the forum!
Ah yes, prettiness - the source of so much CRIMPing activity. That's why sad people like me have Agenda on their Macs and iOS devices, despite t...
Statistics/data on productivity

I nearly bought Timing a little while ago - but actually, I'm just experimenting with Qbserve and I have to say, I find it more intuitive/easier to use (oh, and cheaper ;-))
And having your productiv...
