Official Simplenote client for Windows/Linux

Yo, Alex, my man! So when's CintaNotes coming to MacOS? I used it all the time on Windows, but left when Win8 horrified the world. I'm now a very happy Mac user (along with an increasing number of oth...
Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
10/20/2016
Bear Writer Beta 4 is out, and has added a very nice "related tags" feature. Tags appear in a tree down the left-hand side; where notes have multiple tags, they are used to create branches; all the ta...

Congrats, Eduard; NotePlan has just appeared on the Mac App Store.

Maturing nicely ;-)
Elephant Notetaker new updates
10/15/2016
It looks great - but it's a Java app. I don't do those any more, alas. I'm steadily honing down the apps on my systems to exclude Java, Flash and Google platforms that could be used as vectors.
Not s...

Yeah! Folding is good!
Making NotePlan capable of folding headers would be dang cool, too!
Keep up the good work!

Any good Scrivener books out there?
10/12/2016
I would second that. The tutorial is friendly, you can scribble in it/modify it if you want to, but it's easy to restore if you find you've mangled it! And there's nothing like doing something hands-o...
TreeProjects is now free
10/11/2016
My dear chap, that's a bit harsh! When I was still a Windows user, TreeProjects was one of my favourite apps - it's a very powerful do-it-all notebook prog that is not entirely unlike UltraRecall, but...
Evernote yet again
10/7/2016
Wow, that was some seriously fast footwork by Evernote's lawyers. Clearly they can still afford them ;-)

Yes, I'd have to agree that the scheduling is a bit confusing. I think it might be clearer if he made the whole scheduling thing completely transparent, using some kind of code (his use of @ is a good...
Oh wow! Didn't spot that – thanks, Franz!
I just wish he'd consider producing a desktop app – I'd snap that up straight away. Gingko is without a doubt the most ingenious writing tool I've ever used/seen. BUT I'm not prepared to live on...
noteplan
10/5/2016
Well, it does indeed have tags, and they do indeed act as filters. In Notes view, you can choose between the default "All Notes" (in the centre of the menu bar at the top), or click on the dropdown ne...
Evernote and the cloud

... only kidding. I cut my milk teeth on one of the very first IBM PCs to emerge into the wild, back in 1984 (same date as the iconic Apple ad, amusingly enough).

Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
9/16/2016
I've just saved Paul's update on iOS 10 to Bear using the navigation bar shortcut. Now that's seriously convenient!
Print to PDF is built into iOS 10
9/16/2016
Well spotted. That does indeed massively improve the whole research/info-gathering experience on iOS. Hm. Now I'm feeling strong temptation to upgrade my iPad Mini to a big iPad... I shall resist!
Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
9/16/2016
Hot damn! That is a neat feature! Even more convenient than Keep Everything!
And the nice developer has reassured me that Bear will soon have text folding (at e.g. headers), as well as its current ab...
Moo.do does gmail
9/9/2016
Your post prompted me to take another look at moo.do, and I found it's evolved into a very sophisticated app.
I love the way you can have an outline in one pane, and an "agenda" (filled with tasks so...
Ha, I'd forgotten about Papyrus Autor! I've been nagging the developers to produce an English version for many years. I see they're still valiantly trying to get something English out by the end of th...
Oh, and in the comments I find that Andreas Eschbach is a Journler user! I don't know if it's THE Andreas Eschbach, who's one of the best German sci-fi writers around, but it might be!
How exciting!
Thanks, Lucas, interesting.
There's a superb essay by somebody called "Nathan" in the comments on the front page (http://journler.com/2016/07/08/alpha/) detailing a whole range of information manage...
outliner software wanted: single outline with arbitrary lines marked as nodes for an overview
9/3/2016
A good - and free - option for what you're describing (as I understand it) would be TreeSheets, which runs well on Windows, but also on other platforms.
More info here (it's worth checking out the tu...
Yes, I think that sums it up pretty well!

Yes, I've read Gruber's analysis, but I still think the original concept was flawed.
There are just too many good note-taking apps around - and if you add the number of good task managers, you're lef...
I don't know how many people in this forum used Vesper, an iOS note-taking app with pleasant synchronisation features, but the app was recently discontinued and its sync server shut down.
Soulmen are...
