What Tapose should have been...
6/11/2015
I suspect it won't be quickly - after all, a dual-pane app becomes even more useful if you can also use slide-over views. And Split View is confined to iPad Air 2s for the time being, and it's clear t...
Tinderbox (and friends) on sale
6/11/2015
Ah, so tempting - and so expensive. If I didn't already have such a ridiculous collection of software, Tinderbox would be next on the list...

Hi Jim,
Re: Quip - actually, there is an iOS app (e.g. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/quip-docs-chat-spreadsheets/id647922896?mt=8), but on the Mac you have to run through a browser (i.e. there's no...
What Tapose should have been...

I've just discovered a rather nice little app called MyMind for the iPad. It's very nicely designed, and works in a very similar way to Tapose, although it's actually much easier to use/understand.
I...
Wow, and at first sight looks very good. Not least because it's one of the vanishingly small number of iOS apps that uses smart apostrophes/quotation marks by default. Very, very few other apps do tha...
Hot dang! thanks for the tip, Steve!
Cheers,

Yet another new discovery
6/1/2015
Oh, and I made another mistake. I've just discovered the app does indeed support rich-text formatting, as per Apple's basic TextEdit. I think the notes are stored as HTML or some kind of XML subset. S...

Sorry, I made a mistake in my description: you don't have multiple libraries in a single note file, you have multiple workspaces, which give you different views of the same library. All the different ...
Yet another new discovery
6/1/2015
... and this one's a goodie. It's a Mac app (Mac only, I'm afraid, not even iOS) by a Japanese developer, called HueNote.
It's a text editor. But what makes it unusual is its extraordinary breadth of...

Ghostnote
5/29/2015
Mac users (only, I'm afraid) might be interested in this intriguing little app I've only recently discovered: Ghostnote. It's a sticky-note app (yawn) - with a difference, in that it remembers the con...
Current Todoist Users?

I can certainly see the attraction of IQtell! Thanks for the tip.
Current Todoist Users?
5/28/2015
I find Todoist irritatingly inconsistent across platforms (especially with regard to folding).
After much reflection/reanalysis of my now large collection of task management apps, I have to say my vo...
Synology Note Station
5/24/2015
Ah, another Synology lover. Yes, although it's still only at version 1.xxx, Note Station appears to be developing very rapidly now: the task management apps were only introduced with the last revision...
Synology Note Station
5/24/2015
Having recently acquired a new Synology server to replace our old, trusty but finally expired CubeStation, I've been very impressed by the Note Station module that can be installed on the exceptionall...
For those who haven't already met it, CloudClip is possibly the bees' knees of clipboard managers for Macs and iOS devices. And it's completely free (bizarre, it's extremely good!).
It allows you to ...
Next version of MyInfo
5/21/2015
That is interesting - MyInfo is one of the better general info managers on Windows, the thought of a multiplatform version is very appealing. Especially with mobile support!

Looks lovely. And just proves what a crying need there is for an app version of Gingko.
treeline 2.0
5/20/2015
Wish he'd do a Mac version. It's a lovely little app, if a bit idiosyncratic.
Thanks for the reference - both very interesting.
NoteAway for OS X
5/12/2015
It's a nice little app, but needs an iOS version to become really indispensable.
I've noticed that a whole lot of "nice little apps" never get used if there isn't an iOS version. Take the fantastic T...
Blast from the past
5/12/2015
Nice review. And yes, I'd agree with you - if ThinkBook had a MacOS client, it would be one of my fave info managers, too. It's got some very elegant features (notably its ability to pick up tagged to...
Blast from the past
5/11/2015
Well, that's amusing. Just when you thought it was dead... ThinkBook (for iOS) is back! The weird and wonderful text editor that many of us enjoyed but few knew what to do with has been revamped and r...
Exciting teaser for Notebooks

... and a rather peculiar file management app that also happens to be a text editor and basic photo editor, iStorage 2.
Beautiful interface, remarkably clever file handling.

Oh, forgot to mention Knowtes, as well (browser + notepad; quite good).
There are a number of dual/multi-pane browsers, but they're rather boring.
