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...
TextNut turns into Kardnote?
8/24/2016
Well, that's not strictly true - TextNut continues to evolve, and is turning into a fairly powerful platform on both Mac and iOS.
But Kardnote is a rather charming alternative by the same develo...
DevonThink To Go 2.0 Has Arrived
8/24/2016
Hm, that is interesting. I use DEVONthink on the Mac exclusively as a (very powerful) reference database. I haven't experimented with using it for anything else, let alone with using the iOS version a...
Evernote: OneNote importer for Mac
8/19/2016
I thought I'd open a new thread for Mac users: Microsoft have just released an Evernote importer for Mac, available from:

PDF cataloging
8/18/2016
The cheapest option would be to:
- set up a network file share
- store your PDFs in a carefully structured folder hierarchy (the "index")
- use Adobe Reader to carry out Advanced Searches either on th...

Damn, that's useful! Thanks for the tip, didn't pick up on that.
Cheers,

Ulysses Mobile is released
8/5/2016
I am a complete twerp. There I was, lamenting Ulysses's non-standard use of markup - and totally forgetting that you can produce your very own markup scheme, using your own preferred codes. Doh!
That...
Ulysses Mobile is released
8/4/2016
Reading the MacDrifter article, I see that the journalist has indeed tried to sync all his text files in one go (loads of subfolders with over 2000 files!). Bold, but perhaps a little rash with a new ...
Ulysses Mobile is released
8/4/2016
Having made soothing noises about Dropbox, I feel honour-bound to mention that I don't synchronise more than one Dropbox folder with Ulysses (you appear to be able to add as many as you like). I don't...
Ulysses Mobile is released
8/4/2016
Well, I've installed the new Ulysses for iOS on all my machines (iPhone, iPod, iPad 2, iPad Mini 3) and it's brilliant! Dropbox sync seems to work well, as a matter of fact - it's very easy to set up,...
