I entirely agree with Paul and Franz - the more I've played with planning/project management software, the more irritating I've found it for managing all the things that do, indeed, "slip through the ...
Taking another look at Ulysses

I must say, I'm increasingly attracted to Ulysses, especially after what you've both said. It's the combination of simplicity and underlying power that attracts - a kind of mix of Scrivener and Connec...
An in-depth RightNote app-praisal

Excellent review - much fairer to RightNote than previous dismissals, I think. Thanks!

Now I know this isn't, strictly speaking, an outliner application, but it allows you to build information management applications ("books") in a really rather attractive (because it's free and looks c...

Thanks for posting those two reviews, too - very interesting indeed.

Interesting, Hugh. I have Daedalus, but hadn't realised it syncs with Ulysses. Hm. Tempting...
Mind you, the iOS version of Scrivener will be seriously tempting, once that appears. My only beef with ...
Taking another look at Ulysses

Now that I'm about to become the proud owner of a spanking new MacBook Air, I've been taking a long, thoughtful look at the applications I really need, as opposed to the ones which, as an inveterate C...
Funnily enough, I have experimented with CMSes as outliners over a number of years. Each time, I've eventually come away feeling slightly frustrated, but each time, the concept has seemed more feasibl...
Framework's one - fairly significant - limitation being that it ran entirely in RAM. Which made it very fast, but very inflexible, and unable to deal with large data sets (especially in view of the ma...
Yozo Office reminds me of good ole' StarOffice 5, which had a similar totally integrated interface. Alas, it died (or rather, was transformed into OpenOffice). I've also thought it was a shame nobody ...
I have a high regard for Plone, but agree that some development work would be necessary. Albeit probably fairly minor, or not much more than what you'd have to do to standardise your system - given th...

Ah, thanks for the tip on that. I haven't yet tried installing Onetastic on 2013. I'll play with it a little later. I'm still annoyed to discover OneNote 2013 doesn't automatically use all my Office 2...

As Steve reports, OneNote 2010 goes on running perfectly happily alongside 2013 (just as well, because I've got some additional macros installed in there).

Ha! No sooner had I written that than I tried to create a new page in one of my local notebooks, and sure enough, the little message 'Subscribe to Office to continue using this notebook' popped up. Ev...

Strange: I have a mixture of local and OneDrive notebooks, and haven't received any such message (so far!).
I'll let you know if I do!
And as Graham says - despite Microsoft's efforts to persuade yo...

It must be said, there are various ways round the MS restrictions, for example by creating notebooks from other OneNote clients (e.g. Outline+ or MobileNoter). You can do that from iOS, too (the iOS v...

Oh wow, that's profoundly disappointing. I still use 2010, which (as you say) I paid for and is very good.
So it's pay wads of dough to Microsoft for Office 365 (whether you want the whole thing or n...

From what I've read, it doesn't have drawing/sketching or proper outlining (sigh!); so it's actually much closer to the web or iOS versions than the Windows desktop version.
For those who want someth...
Correlate is back

It's also worth bearing in mind that Notebooks (yes, my fave!) can act as a file manager/previewer, as well as a notebook and to-do app. Because it uses the underlying file system to organise its note...

According to German magazine 'Computerbild', both Mac and Windows desktop versions of OneNote will henceforth be free. Dang, that's cool!

Yes, it's turning into a very powerful and clever app (one of those things where you look at it and think: now that's so obvious, why didn't somebody think of that before?! Like all the best apps). I ...

Which just goes to show we CRIMPers were right all along!
After all, how much more of a mixed-up mashup of outlining techniques could you have than OneNote?
Not to mention the kitchen sink...

That's true - it's why I also use Outline+ on my iOS devices, despite the fact that together, OneNote and Outline+ take up a fair amount of space! But Outline+ does the drawing bit very well.

Interesting to see Microsoft ramping up the OS X/iOS offerings under the new CEO:

Hot damn, Docear is pretty cool! I love the bibliographical support!
Mind you, I wouldn't be parted from my cross-platform faves, Notebooks (Win/Mac/iOS) and OneNote (Win/iOS/Android/Web and via Outl...
