"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." – Edward Abbey
Updated April 28: Outlinely is a simple, but elegant outlining application for Mac OS. I have written about the app before, here. Version 2.0 was just released. The big feature addition is the library, which looks like a fairly standard organization panel where you can tuck your outlines into folders. This isn’t the most sophisticated “library” panel you … Continue reading Outlinely 2.0 – a quick review
Tinderbox is such a remarkably versatile tool for managing information in great part because it provides you with several distinct views of your notes: Map Outline Chart Timeline Map view is probably Tinderbox’s claim to fame. I know of no other application that gives you such a flexible digital canvas for displaying/organizing/managing your notes. In … Continue reading Outlining with Tinderbox 6 (6.2 to be precise)
There is no shortage of handy outliners for Mac. One which came on the scene more recently is called OutlineEdit. I have been intrigued by the app since first seeing it, but I tried to demonstrate a little restraint by not purchasing it. Then I learned it was on sale this week at 50% off, … Continue reading OutlineEdit is on sale this week — a brief review
The other day I learned about a new app for iPad called Mindscope. It sounded intriguing so I installed the free version and quickly decided to spend the $2.99 to upgrade to the full version. Mindscope is a terrific app, elegant, easy to use, and incredibly useful. The developer calls it a "multi-level magnet board for your … Continue reading A look at a new favorite iPad app — Mindscope

Aside from the … Continue reading Refreshed review of Outlinely — a new outliner for Mac

I've decided, at least for now, to leave this review here, since some other websites point to it.] Warning: Do not buy this app! See the update at the … Continue reading New outliner for the Mac is slick but needs work
With a new year upon me, I've put together my list of new year's resolutions relating to my addiction to information management software, or what we call CRIMPing on the Outliner Software forum. This list is one-part "how do I take advantage of my CRIMP malady to improve my productivity" and two-parts "how do I … Continue reading A CRIMPer’s New Year Resolution List
This is the long-awaited review of the outliner in ConnectedText. I'm not going to actually make this part of the OneNote Smackdown, because it has been too long since I was in that mind frame and I can't reproduce it well enough to do an accurate comparison. But outlining in CT is interesting because there are … Continue reading Outlining in ConnectedText
I've written before about a nifty, free outliner/task manager called Noteliner. I just wanted to note (pardon the pun) that the application has been steadily improved by its developer, Sam Hawksworth. It is a remarkably handy and well-thought out software tool, well worth checking out if you're on a Windows PC. Sam introduced version 3.5 … Continue reading Noteliner Update
