I use Ulysses quite a lot (as you know), and have found that from dismal beginnings, the iCloud sync between Mac and iPad is now fast and reliable.
iCloud sync is still odd, in the sense that you can...
ASANA - any new reactions
8/13/2015
That does look interesting, Ken - thanks.
Although it appears to resemble Podio, which definitely takes the prize for being the most baffling piece of over-engineered project management software I've...
Sensational return of Cloud Outliner
8/13/2015
I agree that notes are rather restricted, but then, it's not a super-sophisticated outliner like OmniOutliner (so you can't apply rich text to individual words, for example). On the other hand, it doe...
Quip becomes... an outliner?
8/13/2015
In its ongoing endeavours to become all things to all small furry things, Quip (well, its desktop versions for Mac and Windows) has made another step towards becoming an outliner by introducing an out...
ASANA - any new reactions
8/7/2015
My son (budding movie director) uses Asana for his project management work, and seems to like it. On the other hand, he's not a natural CRIMPer and tends to stick with something that works once he's d...
Sensational return of Cloud Outliner
8/5/2015
Yup, Cloud Outliner, for long an increasingly shy, embarrassed, underperforming teenager shuffling awkwardly about in the background, has suddenly evolved into a Mega-App, now entitled Cloud Outliner ...
Yup, it's true, the beloved Alfons has just preempted Apple and brought out a two-pane feature for Notebooks!
It's very neat – the centre column is just a couple of pixels wide, so optimises th...
... although I'd hesitate to characterise Scrivener as a quick, low-impact note-taking app ;-)
I seem to remember that AM-Notebook stores notes etc. as separate files, although my failing memory (of all things Windows-related) isn't absolutely reliable on this score. The app certainly meets all...
There's a brief but nice review of OutlineEdit on MacLife, incidentally, at http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/outlineedit-review
I'd opt for Notebooks (by Alfons Schmid) for Windows.
It manages its own files very efficiently, but in your file system, stores them as folders and distinct/separate text and HTML files, with attach...
Hyper Plan
7/28/2015
It will not unduly surprise anybody that I, moi, the Arch-CRIMPer (pace George), am already a HyperPlan user.
I quite like it. I especially like the new version, but I also like the fact it's steadil...
I have, with some trepidation, updated both my iPads (old iPad 2 and iPad Mini 2, so very different machines) to iOS 9 beta 2.
And to my surprise, it runs pretty well. Safari has a tendency to crash ...
New task manager
7/8/2015
Funnily enough, I've recently returned to TickTick, having been using Ulysses as my task manager for several months.
TickTick isn't new, but they have been steadily developing it, and the latest vers...
The Perils of CRIMPing
7/8/2015
The site search engine is quite good, in fact. You'll see it in the left-hand navigation bar (admittedly slightly obscured by ads etc.)
Yes, Editorial's version of TaskPaper is cool – just wish there was a Mac version of Editorial!
The best Windows clone is TodoPaper (think it's been mentioned here before). It's not free, but i...
Hey Jaslar,
Sorry, let's take a closer look. By folding, yes, I mean sections can be folded up so they disappear. There are various ways of doing this, but the system used by FoldingText, HarooPad an...
Hi Paul! Yes, I'm (very) excited by the impending new release. But I can't bear the tension! And I'm currently on holiday, so trying to ignore it until it actually turns up on my various devices...
C...
That looks rather nice. What it's got, which unfortunately NO other outliners (I can think of, except maybe Atom with the FoldingText plugin) have, is a navigation tree with folders. That's a great id...
Mellel for iPad
6/22/2015
Okay, so Mellel for Mac is a word processor, not an outliner or an info management app - but it's a very powerful WP with outliner features (the desktop version is even better at outlining than Word i...
Totally agree with you - Keith is brilliant, and if Scrivener for iOS is being slow to develop, it's because it's going to be reliable and sensational right from the off.
I can't believe the level of...
article - Google Keep vs. Evernote vs. other notetaking tools? | ITworld - http://bit.ly/1NBOQYe
6/13/2015
Ha! I'm grimly amused by the hugely improved version of Apple's Notes app announced at WWDC. For Apple users, it will certainly give Evernote a run for its money – in fact, I suspect it wil...
Outline+ updates
6/11/2015
Ah, interesting. Thanks for the warning, Paul. I confess I've not had much trouble with Outline, but I won't pretend to be a heavy user. Losing a lot of data would be seriously annoying!
I've just discovered DropCopy, a seriously natty way to copy files or clipboard contents from one Mac or iDevice to another. This dual functionality puts it ahead of many other clipboard agents.
The ...
Outline+ updates
6/11/2015
The rather nice OneNote clone Outline/Outline+ has just been updated to include iCloud (Drive) syncing. Now, whether this is a good thing depends on your view of iCloud, but it's a useful feature.
Ou...
