Anything to offer?

I see the sentence:
< >
But in the accompanying image immediately below that sentence, at the far right of the blue highlighted line, you can see that the command actually says Command+K, not Ctrl+K.

From the text in the URL:
To create a sub thought, you can use the context menu action 'Create sub thought...' or the related keyboard shortcut Ctrl+K.

I couldn't install this readily onto my macbook in 3 tries and therefore gave up.
The developers website is easy enough to use though, and there certainly was a code provided to allow full 30 day access.
Was very interested in the Gantt chart as an alternative to using Omni's well executed yet highly overpriced offering (it doesn't interface with OmniFocus so what is the point?).

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.

To open a link you must press the command key and click on the link, that's all. More information about the linking feature can you find here: http://www.sorting-thoughts.de/wiki/display/docen/Linking
The save shortcut with command + s works very well for me. You don't must click manually the save icon. Maybe you use a different keyboard layout? If you use a none standard US layout, please let me know. That will help to reproduce the bug. Btw, all keyboard shortcuts are listed here: http://www.sorting-thoughts.de/wiki/display/docen/Keyboard+Shortcuts
The undo / redo feature is currently disabled and I'm agree with you that is really sad. It is a big point on my ToDo list and I hope I can enabled this feature in one of the next versions.

And-- sorry again-- the command-s also does not work. I have a standard keyboard layout and tried t save using command-s and nothing happened. The only way to save was by clicking on the little save icon.
I would not have posted these comments if they were not true for me. I stand by my original post.

@Anon-Bud: I totally agree with your Windows sentiments. When apps look like this, I get the creeps and think that it's just a port, and there will be all sorts of non-Mac inconsistencies in it.
@0815Mac: It's highly improbably that anyone who is Mac-only would confuse the CMD key with the CTRL key.

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.
