Textnut update 2/17/2016

I also love the fact that it already runs on iPhone/iPod, and integrates not only with iCloud, but with (any folder in) Dropbox, too.

Scrivener for mobile? 2/17/2016

Thanks, Paul - now that's very good news! I hope Keith posts a link to the interview on his blog; lots of fans will be sooooooo happy!

Textnut update 2/16/2016

Textnut, a pleasant but somewhat idiosyncratic Markdown editor for MacOS, has just been given a big update. With a new three-pane appearance plus support for iCloud - plus a nice new iOS client (not q...

Curio 10 now available 2/12/2016

yooghoogh – hey, we could start a new company... !

Curio 10 now available 2/12/2016

Sorry, Paul - I meant you, not Hugh!

Curio 10 now available 2/12/2016

Also worth remarking that you don't need Curio in order to use Curiota, which is completely open and non-proprietary. It stores notes in a standard format (RTF) in libraries you can create anywhere yo...

Curio 10 now available 2/12/2016

Oh wow, that is a huge improvement. Having had it on my menu bar for a while, but then got rid of it because of its irritating lack of features, I've now reinstated it as a "launch at boot" option. Ve...

Apple Wiki 2/12/2016

We haven't talked much about wikis recently, so I thought I'd bring people up to date with our experience of the Apple Wiki included with the very modestly priced Apple Server package. So dreadful ar...

local notebooks in Evernote 2/12/2016

Personally, I'm bloody annoyed, having recently taken out a paid (the cheapest, fortunately) contract with Evernote precisely because of the offline/local notebooks feature. However, it's not a compl...

Task managers as general information managers 2/11/2016

Hey Paul - you're right, but Checkvist is exclusively online, with (as far as I can tell) no offline support at all. That automatically excludes it, I'm afraid... ;-)

Task managers as general information managers 2/11/2016

Actually, you're right. I'd forgotten how much room there is for notes in The Hit List. And I've just discovered (doh!) that they support rich text, too. As well as folders, smart folders, two differ...

Task managers as general information managers 2/10/2016

Hi Ken, Thanks for the tip, and indeed, I keep a close eye on MLO - but alas, they haven't released a Mac version yet. They're thinking about it, however... Andrew, Thanks for the Chrome extension ...

Task managers as general information managers 2/10/2016

Even better, the web page thus generated preserves the folding/unfolding behaviour of Todoist itself, so each parent task has a little arrow next to it. So you generate complete, folding outlines from...

Task managers as general information managers 2/10/2016

Following on from my musings under Remember The Milk (RTM), I've copied over my last post to a new topic: ----- Stimulated by my last thought, I’ve just had a quick sniff at Todoist again (must ...

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul 2/10/2016

Stimulated by my last thought, I've just had a quick sniff at Todoist again (must get back to work, really!), and yes, it could indeed by used as a fairly powerful outliner. The only downside is exp...

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul 2/10/2016

Having shelled out GBP 27 or so for the Pro version, I continue to be impressed by RTM, although it does have a couple of weaknesses. First, subtasks are very cool. They are infinitely hierarchisable...

Fetchnotes shuts down 2/8/2016

Virtual machines for CRIMPers 2/8/2016

Yes, indeed - Parallels is notorious for needing a lot of RAM. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's extremely good, but if you haven't got a solid 16GB, it's going to be... sedate, is perhaps the best wor...

Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul 2/8/2016

Interesting. Well, the new version looks pretty cool. A kind of combo of all the best bits from e.g. Wunderlist, DoItIm, TickTick and various others. It's a huge improvement over the previous version...

Virtual machines for CRIMPers 2/8/2016

Veertu does sound fascinating - I shall certainly experiment. Crossover I've got, and don't rate very highly, to be honest. I'm sure there's stuff it works well with, but it doesn't work with the app...

Day One 2 available on Thursday 2/5/2016

Yup, tried again yesterday afternoon, all went very smoothly. Just one of those little glitches.

Day One 2 available on Thursday 2/4/2016

Well, first impressions are very positive - and Day One Two (unconscious irony there, perhaps?) is an attractive piece of software with enough enhanced features to be worth the 2.0 upgrade. However, ...

Day One 2 available on Thursday 2/3/2016

I have to agree with Franz. Mac and iOS developers have an increasingly hard time making money out of the Apple Store (especially for Mac), with no support for upgrades and irritating foibles like "fa...
