![]() ![]() Advantage - I know how to use it and have already paid for it. Scrivener isn't really meant for this, but I know can do it.Files need to go into a Resilio Sync folder for me to have sharing under my control. Notes would either place everything in the iCloud (and fill my iPhone with unnecessary stuff) or if kept local I would not be able to share between my MBP and iMac, which is not acceptable.Omni Outliner will only store them as links which means I have to keep the outlines and linked files together.Growly Notes looks really good for this, but it's performance is terrible with large embedded images, and there doesn't seem to be a way to display them small to speed things up.This gives me 5 notebooks left, most are for travel and have lots of embedded PDF and JPEG files. Frankly I should have done *that* long ago. Notebooks I had for books I'm working on I've moved the contents to the Scrivener files for the books.That also gives me access from my iPhone. Really simple ones (I've got one for wines) I'm keeping in Notes.All archived notebooks (mostly class notes for courses I taught before retiring) exported to HTML and zipped and printed as PDF.I could move all of this to Scrivener as well but I think just using the Apple Notes app will be sufficient for that, and my old lecture notes I plan to just archive to HTML, which, I hope, won't be going away! I've also used CPN for projects where there is no written output - lecture notes when I was teaching (retired now), trip and travel plans, anywhere I want to have notes. I found that I could take a CPN notebook for one of the writing projects I'm working on now and (sadly) manually move all its contents into Scrivener. Scrivener will make the documents but I never made use of it for notes. I guess that since the subject matter is non-linear my writing style is non-linear, so these programs are quite natural for me!Īnyway, CPN is great for organizing but doesn't make final documents. Scrivener gave me back the capabilities that I mostly lost 30 years earlier. ![]() Somehow I could never get excited about outliner programs, and I did have a copy of Omni Outliner which came with my first Mac in 2004. I started writing that way using a program called Kamas in the early 1980s and found that the compartmentalization and ability to quickly rearrange the outline/document sections was a big boost to productivity. I generally don't use outlines on the individual pages but use these tools as outliners that allow putting text and images (and other documents) under each outline item. CPN was unusual (at least unusual to me) in that it has both a top level outline (contents card) and could have outlines on individual pages. There is no outlining capability in the text itself. In Scrivener you can consider the Binder (the left pane) to be an outline that you can attach blocks of text to. But I had never used it for notes, using CPN instead where I've had longer experience. I use Scrivener for non-fiction, technical writing. I don't think it meets criteria 3 but it more or less meets criteria 2 in the form of tabs. I've used Tree 1 and am considering Tree 2. This is an unknown entity for me and I haven't found many reviews, but the feature set looks promising ( )Ĭ) Tree. I use and own Curio but the outlining capacity is not as advanced as CPN.ī) NeO. Evernote is set up to sync with Outline, but Outline doesn't meat criteria 3.Ī) Curio. I own and use Devonthink and Evernote and think they are both great, but they don't have a dedicated outlining capacity. One of the best options I've found so far is NoteTaker, but I've read reports that the app is no longer being developed ( ). I own omnioutliner but have used it for different purposes than CPN, because it doesn't meet criteria 2. ability to have multiple outlines in the same file/document The main functionality I'd like to find in a different app are:Ģ. I'm was really sorry to see CPN go and now I'm looking for alternatives. ![]()
