Outlinely gets a (minor) update
6/19/2018
So frustrating! Such a nearly great app!
But I'm encouraged by the update - notably that they appear to have unified the codebase (under Swift). That suggests they have Plans... maybe even a Roadmap!...
Statistics/data on productivity

Hey, Paul - Timings 2 resolves that irritating "always wanting to report" problem and is a superb background logging tool.
Hey, Dellu - thanks for the very honest self-assessment; very interesting in...
Unclutter does lack an iOS app, true, but it's easy enough to set its home folder to iCloud/Dropbox and then use the text editor of your choice.
I've done exactly that - which is why I'd love to see ...
Nope, SheetPlanner is, as far as I'm aware, now in beta and making good progress. I'm looking forward to seeing the gold release!
Cheers,
Bill
New personal wiki app
6/6/2018
Ah, excellent! I was going to ask about this, actually, so thanks for clarifying. And I'm looking forward to the mobile app!
Cheers,
Bill

Frama looks pretty cool - thanks for the reference, Eric.
I'll have to check it out, especially since I've now moved to France (Brexit? Don't talk to me about Brexit!)
We've been moving our extranet over to DokuWiki since the demise of Kerio Workspace.
It's a good wiki system - relatively simple to set up, very fast, and with an outstanding search function (highlig...
Two Pane Outliner Shootout
6/1/2018
There's always Outline for Mac and iOS, of course - a fairly capable OneNote clone that's still in development (by Gorillized). It's even compatible with OneNote, which is impressive.
Slight bug in right-hand menu next to each note title; tends to open the note rather than generating the menu (which in Safari appears on the left of the screen).
The ability to open up multiple note...
A lot of people here should be pleased by your inclusion of a "focus" mode, whereby you can make a particular note in an outline a topmost note while you're working on it or its dependents. That's nic...
That looks rather good - I thoroughly approve of the side-by-side approach. I like the outlines as well (especially with the breadcrumb support at the top of each page). If I'd love to see one extra f...
I take Hugh's point entirely - and it's an interesting reflection on people's differing aesthetic preferences, too. As you quite rightly remark, when you're using an app every day, it's got to look go...
I've been using Pagico for the last few months, and frankly, the decision has caused my CRIMPing to diminish considerably (at least as far as task management apps are concerned),
I've invested in all...
Pagico allows you to do this, too. You can create "events" by giving notes specific dates/times, but you can also treat tasks as events because they're automatically booked into your calendar when you...
New personal wiki app
5/25/2018
One of my recent sweeps of latest developments in the Mac App Store has revealed a newcomer in the personal wiki space.
It's always fun when another personal wiki application comes along, and this on...
Sorry, Jaslar, just noticed this: yes, you can collapse the sections in the left-hand pane, and you can also collapse text under headings in the actual document.
You can't change the order of stuff i...
I quite like the look of Writage, but can't use it because Windows only.
On the other hand, Markdown editors like TextNut and more recently, Strike (still in beta) and others (sorry, lost the name of...
Ah: I lied (albeit involuntarily). It wasn't available on the UK App Store, but now it's suddenly appeared. Looks quite nice, actually, even as a free version. Not sure if it's got enough to tempt me ...
It's not available from the UK App Store, either, alas... no CRIMPing for me...
best outliner you use? (2018)
5/10/2018
Yes, I'd agree with Stephen here. We CRIMPers are by nature inclined to make those donations or buy those shareware licences that other folk prefer to shun.
That's because we genuinely do appreciate ...
It really does beg the question: why on Earth doesn't Apple get on and optimise iCloud as a sync system? It's still pitiful, especially compared with Dropbox (or our business favourite, AutoTask, form...
I can recommend Write - it's very well designed, and has an attractive stay-on-top option that makes it ideal for research (I wish more apps had a stay-on-top option, in fact). Combined with auto-word...
best outliner you use? (2018)

Those who are as fed up as I am about paying MS a regular subscription for Office365 might want to take a look at SoftMaker Office, a German software suite that's now available for Windows, Linux and ...
Smart Pen system (a bit OT)
4/28/2018
The Wacom Folio (or Slate, if you prefer something slightly cheaper) offers handwriting recognition, and in my experience it's actually quite good (writing in standard English, at least). I've gradual...
TaskPaper iOS apps
4/12/2018
Editorial is my preferred TaskPaper editor on iOS because it folds the tasks up neatly, which is very convenient when you've got a long, long list.
The downside of Editorial is its sheer size –...
