Scrivener has no calendar or email capabilities, or spreadsheet grid capabilities, or database forms. I think Scrivener is one of the best alternatives to InfoSelect (or "Info Select" as the developer spelled it) for users who used InfoSelect to draft text documents, manage text information, and/or organize outlines of text documents, quotes, etc. But I suspect there are people still reading it from time to time, and I do have some helpful information to contribute.ġ. I know, this is an ancient topic & thread. What functionality are you particularly looking for? There is a big difference between The Guide and OneNote, for instance.

Some software might turn out to be too basic, while others have too steep a learning curve. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.Īnd then there are the needs and computing skills of the user. if you want to store and organise notes, then there is the decision whether it should be a "tape", a hierarchical tree, a wiki, or some sort of a database interface. there are ones that focus on capturing, or storing, or organising, or analysing notes, but few that can do all of those functions equally well.Į.g. Somehow its skeuomorphism stands in the way of its functionality (despite the fact that it seems to be a very sophisticated software).īut the problem with these sorts of PIM and note-taking applications is that there is such a wide variety of user needs and software features and benefits that it takes a lot of careful analysis of one's needs and the software available to find the perfect match. Yeah, I actually had a similar problem with it.

However, at least for now, I recommend Surfulater very highly as an information manager. Admittedly, I'm a little nervous about the developer's plans to have the next version make use of the cloud, but apparently one will still be able to have one's database on one's computer (my preference, at the moment). And if I encounter a problem, there's a forum and a very responsive developer to turn to for help.Īll in all, I'm very happy with Surfulater. I can also search my database(s) VERY quickly. Surfulater automatically records the source of the article, and I can easily edit the article, link it to other articles, add tags to make it even easier to find, etc. To be honest, I almost always select the first option: Add new article.

Most of the time, I simply right-click on an article, or part of an article, or a website that I want to save and select one of four possibilities: Add new article, Add new article plus Page, Attach Page to Article, or Bookmark this Page. What do I like about it? Well, I can save material from just about any source, online or off.

I'm happy that I was able to get it for less, but knowing how well it serves my needs, I'd willingly pay the full price if I had to. At $79, it's a bit pricey, but that price permits you to use it on up to five computers. Thanks, folks.įor several years now, I've been happily using Surfulater.

This topic has given me several more tools to look through. I find I am spending more time making the page look good than collecting data. I put in three entries and all three have different right margins and widths and don't align. I want to create space between two entries and I need to use a tool from the ribbon to do it reliably. I click within a note to add a new entry and a nearby entry is selected rather than creating a new entry. pretty? I want to paste into a note and all of the formatting pastes as well. I often delete a section instead of a page.Ĭut-and-paste works well but the fastest way to use it creates new pages within a section then later I have to re-arrange everything to my liking.īut my biggest complaint is that it is too. The use of notebooks on the left side, tabbed sections of a notebook across the top, and pages in the section down the right side takes some getting use to.

It is powerful, it is good at annotating entries with source and date, it has excellent cut-n-paste support. Work provided One_Note and I have been trying to like the program. But The_Guide is no longer supported and lacks many of the features discussed here. Since then I've been using The_Guide ( ) as a very small, reasonably powerful alternative that will run from a USB stick. I stopped using it when I was switching between work and home computers and overwrote files with earlier versions. I used Tornado Notes until it became Info Select.
