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...
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...

6/11/2015
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...
6/10/2015
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,
Bill
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...
Yet another new discovery
6/1/2015
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...
