Beware: Breaks MailTags, breaks DevonThink Mail import. Again. Someone sought to email Steve Jobs and tell him to-- ah. Sorry. Right.

Close to a thousand dollars, and no demo/trial? Gosh. There's confidence.

An odd little app, this one, but unlike most odd little apps it really does work. I suppose you might call it the front-end to a psychological theory of how attention (focus, productivity, call it what you will) actually works, rather than how it *might* work.

Like the celebrated (and, to my mind, rather overwrought) GTD, Vitamin-R adopts, and tries to enforce, a simple principle: AIM LOW.

Don't say "I'll devote the next five years to writing that Great Novel". DO say "I'll devote the next fifteen minutes to writing the opening of Some Novel Which May Possibly Be Just About Okay."

Vitamin-R keeps you on that track. Fifteen minutes in, it says "Take a break". I find after a couple of weeks that 80% of the time, I'm overriding it, and saying "No! I want to keep working! Give me another 15 minutes!".

It's a simple idea. So are the basics of human reproduction. The process, in both cases, is diverting, and the results, in both cases, rather impressive. Highly recommended and as a previous poster said, saved me the cost of buying a licence first time I used it.

Oh, and the developer is *very* responsive.

Entirely agree with DOOBIEXX. Squabbling about the price is a side-issue. This is an effective, simple, beautifully-designed outliner with a very useful trick up its sleeve- the horizontal expansion of outlines into a tree-structure. It's agile and stable and does its job elegantly without bloat, cruft or feature-creep. Nice.

Lightweight, stable and agile. A perfect jotter for those ideas that always occur to you while you're doing something else. The ability to "tear off" a page as a separate window is very handy. I've tried lots of them -- Sidenote, Edgies, Notational Velocity and so on -- but SpiralBound is the one I always have open. (I use the excellent Afloat to keep it as a floating window, which makes it even more useful -- providing you have the screen real estate.) Highly recommended.
