Bye bye Things!
I have Things for the iphone and I used to use things for my big mac as well, but 58$ (with European taxes) is really really expensive for one app text-only, so I am going to start to use iGTD, Anxiety, omnifocus, Mori or Evernote, cheaper ones and with more features in general.
Things was good, but in my oppinion it is not a 58$ app. ¡with a little more you can buy the full OSX Snowleopard!
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.
I´d rather to have all my notes in one place without save any documents, it is the different because one notepad program and word, openoffice, bean or just text files or Voodoo (free) anyway I like Mori and i was going to buy it, but 39$ is too much in my oppinion
It is a really nice app and it is really useful to store everything and organize your brain all in one app: just open it and write whatever. I used to use entourage and woodoo but notepad is smaller and smart. For example i have been using that for 4-5 days and i have as categories:
- Category Personal stuffs and then notes like:
"Sentences", "tales", To-do, shopping...
- Category "Customers" and then notes for webs that my customers have, like: one.com, anotherone.com, etc
- Category "mywebs" and then one.com, two.com and inside everynote to-do, fonts that i use, etc.
- Category "learning" and then "css", php, etc if i discover one new css trick for example i store it in CSS.
- Category "to-do" and then "personal", profesional", etc
You can choice to protect the note with a password, search, export and import notes, change font and color on a really easy and smart way and a long etc, so I like the app in general, the idea is nice and in my oppinion Notepad is the most similar notepad to the notepad i really would like and i am looking for... but it have some problems that one program of 20$ should to avoid...
- Some bugs: if you copy&paste text from encourage, word, etc, then notepad will crash, and besides it crash with some more stuffs: the program just is suddently close (it is not really often and the program try to restore the database for itself, but i have lost some text i was writting or pasting coople of time in 4 days and it is not good for one 20$ soft...)
- You can´t use Color tags
- You can´t store pictures. I know that notepad is for text.. but it would be great.
To take a long story short: notepad is nice and quite similar to the app i´m looking for to organice all the text, ideas, etc. I was going to buy it but it cost 20$ and in my oppinion it don´t have yet some stuffs to cost 20$, i would pay 10, 12.. Maybe 15, but 20 is too much because the program is good but it is still like a non-finished version.
Anyway money is always one opinion, the program is not bad... Just check it!
