MACUSERHB  I used Mori for a long time. But I have dropped Mori now. Instead I will continue with MacJournal.

MSMILLER  I really like Mori - it's as close to the Windows app "MyInfo" as I could find. I use(d) MyInfo for years to hold all my various info (many, many, many websites), when I switched to Mac, I needed a replacement - Mori was it. In fact, I think it was the first Mac app I bought (back when it was still Hog Bay's).

But the new developer hasn't done squat other than announce that the upcoming (whenever that is) "Pro" version will be 200 freakin' dollars. Meanwhile there are all these great new to-do apps and calendar apps and so on and so forth. DevonThink rolled out a 2.0 version of their product. Mori remains stuck in the mud. Evernote covers a lot of the ground Mori did as well - I just don't want to put critical data out there on it.

If the Apokalypse doesn't want to work on Mori - fine - but find someone who does and sell it to them at least. Mori is a great app ... but there is zero developer support or development on it now, and this has been the case for at least six months. Buyer Beware.

MATHEW  All your points are fair. I think the developer himself would disagree with you, but for users (like me) there's been virtually no significant development for at least 2 years. This may change in the future, but as you note other software products are currently more attractive.

KINBOTE  The developer recently posted the following message in his own support forum (http://apokalypsesoftware.com/products/node/2762):

>>What I'd like to see is more representation in other forums. I've only been able to get a few sites to cover updates and the stuff Apokalypse is doing. I'd like to have you guys requesting more coverage by the likes of MacDailyNews, MacRumors, MacNN, AppleInsider, or whatever sites you frequent for Mac news. Competitors get covered. Mori should too!

GOLDFIVE  I bought Hog Bay Notebook and I really liked its successor Mori, but after several months under new ownership alas there is no significant new development and bugs are not fixed for months.

Now I started to look for alternatives and Together seems very promising. Don't overlook the Library Manager in Together, it gives you Mori's multi document feature back.

***..

KINBOTE  It's been 9 months since the original developer handed this program over to another guy (after losing interest in it and moving on to projects like WriteRoom). Not much has happened since then: Apokalypse Software, as the new guy calls his business, has released a slew of rambling blog posts and a few minor bug fixes, but every one of these bug fixes introduced new bugs that had to be fixed in subsequent updates, and so on. Not very professional. There have been no new features since 2006, and worse, Mori has serious performance issues under Leopard. (It beachballs every few seconds when I try to type a note in a 20 MB database.)

There are many programs in this price range that work better and are made by people who know what they're doing (EagleFiler, DevonThink, Yoyimbo etc.). Or you could buy DevonNote which is very similar to Mori - and much faster - but only costs $20. I have been using Mori (and its predecessor, Hog Bay Notebook) for years, but it's time to move my data out of it.

SUNBEAM  I don't see where the value is here for $40. It's a nice application-solid and stable even but the cost far exceeds the feature-set or the pace of development. Sorry to be so blunt but there are far better choices out there...Yojimbo, Devon and even SOHO Notes come to mind.

BITEBIT  After some moths using mori, it is one of my favorites. I have all my ideas, proyects, articles, manuals, etc in mori and besides you can store web articles, photos, etc.

It is one of the best pieces of soft that you can have and even it look to be a little expensive, it is cheap in fact, cause i have millions of articles in there and the program still works perfectly.

Even if you do not think so the first time you installed mori, it is better that you can think, it is really good, seriously.
