David Chartier at TUAW has reviewed 
four popular note managers—SOHO Notes, Yojimbo, DEVONthink and Journler.
He compares then, listing the pros and cons of each app.
For him, SOHO Notes and Journler tie at the top of the list; SOHO Notes because of the variety of files it handles and its keyboard shortcuts and Journler because of its iLife integration.
Yojimbo wins the beauty contest but not the gymnastics. It just doesn’t have the flexibility he needs.
I wonder how Mori (USD 27.95) and iOrganize (USD 19.95) would have measured up.
Pedantically, it’s DEVONthink. :)
That’s not pedantic. I just instinctively think that thinking is more important than company branding, and mistakenly capitalised the wrong bit.
Thanks. :(
Specifically in reference to this review, and also in general, I’ve been bragging about you at the 43Folders forum: http://board.43folders.com/showthread.php?p=5169
Keep up the good work. :) If I can’t have my deceased Claris Emailer, your blog makes me feel better about that.
Hi Carla. That’s very kind of you. Thanks :)
You know, I tried SOHONotes last night. I installed it, ran it, and nothing happened. It couldn’t get past the ‘database creation’ step of being run for the first time.
Same thing happened when I tried it on my PowerMac G5 a while back.
Not so good.
