Any Windows users here ?
9/9/2017
Again, I'm not sure I agree: IBM has over 50,000 users on Macs, which doesn't really qualify as "marginal".

Yes, Alexander's right - if you want to get to the really USEFUL settings, you have to dig your way down to an archaic set of control panels that appear to have frozen at Windows XP.
Don't get me wro...
A (very) interesting new browser
9/8/2017
Ha, I didn't spot that!
Well, perhaps they've embarked down the Virtuous Apple path, i.e. User Privacy Is Us, kind of thing.
No doubt we'll see how they monetise it (or not) - in the meantime, I'm...
A (very) interesting new browser
9/8/2017
Now, returning from the vexed (but always interesting) Windows vs. Mac (vs. Others) question, I'd like to recommend a new discovery to users of ALL platforms: Cliqz, a very nice browser by a German co...

I would gently disagree on your view of macOS as better for personal than business use, Paul, given that I run our business on Macs, but entirely agree that there are a whole bunch of niche markets th...

Thanks for the stats, Chris - sorry, I don't know why I called you "Steve" earlier, many apologies!
Very interesting cross-section of OSes here. What a lot of Linux users! I haven't played with Linux...
It's interesting to see the latest version of Curio positioning itself as a direct competitor to Tinderbox.
Mind you, even the Professional version of Curio is cheaper than Tinderbox.
On the other h...

I too would be interested in knowing how many Windows users there are in the forum. I suppose Steve might be able to tell us, if he's using Google Analytics?
Yes.
Lots.
How many would you like me to list?
;-)
My current regulars:
- Apple Notes
- Notebooks (by Alfons Schmid)
- Bear (Writer)
- Outlinely
- Ulysses (has now replaced DayOne)
Cheers!

Yes, that's an entirely fair point. I'm hoping that the wonders of iCloud will be revealed in all their glory with the advent of the "Files" app to iOS 11 and the opening-up of iCloud to sharing (...
Hm, I'm not so sure. I get the impression that Microsoft really have gone all-in for the Totally Cloud-Enabled approach to pretty much everything. Whereas on the Mac, there is still a fairly clear dif...
Interesting, Dellu, thanks for the info.
Resurgence of Chronos
8/29/2017
I honestly thought Chronos had died, but here they are, back with a new app: NoteLife. Quite a nice encrypted notes manager for macOS/iOS, using the folders/tags principle (not unlike Keep It, ironica...
Yes, I would agree with Dellu here; I have a number of apps I'm very unlikely to ditch (although the proportion of time I spend using them does vary quite a lot), and then I experiment with others, ju...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/21/2017
Sorry, I didn't finish off my authoring thought. Something like Keep It is ideal for authoring, in many ways, because notes can be edited in separate windows, or in separate tabs, or both. Although it...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/21/2017
Have to say that the new Keep It (I'm playing with beta 2 at the moment, alongside my usual work) is quite a nice authoring tool in itself. There are still a few bugs (I'm making a list), but it's alr...
Actually, the updated Together (sorry, Keep It) looks quite interesting - the list of new features is fairly extensive. I'm delighted it's under active development; Together is one of the better info ...
Interesting - the new name is very close to "Keep Everything", one of Together's closest competitors.
While that's true (the lifestyle for adult children thing), it appears that CRIMPing is also a very broad category. I use various tools discovered in the process of CRIMPing to do various different th...
Standard Notes
8/17/2017
Not that I'm aware of for those platforms - from that point of view, you're definitely on to a winner. The subscription would probably be worth it.
Standard Notes

I've looked at it, but to install the nice folders extension, you need a... subscription!
Aargh!
Ah, perhaps Prion is right and we've all been grotesquely spoiled by the plethora of good-quality, relatively low-cost applications that have proliferated on the market for the last few years. I am re...
Yes, this is disappointing. But put it down to Apple's ongoing refusal to allow upgrade pricing - I think that's at the root of this issue. It makes the whole relationship much more binary. And of cou...
