SortingThoughts2.1.0

I’m looking at Sorting Thoughts now. I’m an educator trying to figure out if your program is useful to me or not (ie. what can you offer that document pages and folders cannot). I thought the use of Gantt charts might be interesting, possibly useful, but I can find no information within the program or on your site to see how I might use or even create such charts. Anything to offer? Kim

No wikis? Can't click directly on a link but have to go to the links page to find the link and then click on it? Really? After quite a long time trying to find out if I was missing something, nope. If you create a link, you cannot open that link directly. You have to go to the links page, find the link you want and click on that! Too Windows-like as well. I am a Mac person. I want my Mac apps to act, look, and feel like a Mac app. If I wanted Windows I would've bought a Windows computer. No command-z No command-s [and, btw- you have to manually click the save icon before any links that you've created even show up!] No buy.

Over 900 downloads here and no relevant review. I think it's time for a review. I use Sorting Thoughts since version 1.0.0 and I find it's really useful. The name fits perfect and you can easily sort your thoughts with this tool. I use it to collect my daily notes and to writing travel diaries. I put bookmarks, articles, photos, documents and reading notes in it. In the end it helps me to manage myself. The thought concept with the thought tree, linking and tagging feature is ideal for this job. A thought in the concept of Sorting Thoughts is a textual entry in an encrypted database. Currently, it exist four different types of thoughts: simple, projects, tasks and events. Since version 1.1.0 it is possible to attach files to a thought. This is my favorite feature. So I can collect and manage my documents in Sorting Thoughts and add photos to my travel diaries. Here are my pros and cons of Sorting Thoughts. Light: - clean interface (very simple to use) - encrypted and cloudless (ideal for private stuff) - available for Mac and Windows (so I can use it at home and at work) - Android and webOS app are available (also for HP TouchPad) - developer is friendly and gives helpful support (thanks again for that :) Shadow: - task planning is too simple (it is not possible to filter tasks) - mobile apps supports only simple text thoughts (no tasks and projects) - no iOS app available Summary: I can highly recommend this tool. If you collect private data and you don't want put it in a cloud, this tool is yours.

It's very useful. I like the thought concept. The only thing I miss is to attach files to a thought.
