It’s my next stab at a “plain text productivity”. It takes what I’ve learned building TaskPaper and tries to keep the good stuff, fix the mistakes, and make it more flexible. It has been doing me well, but the developer has just announced that he will no longer be working on the iOS version anymore, which is really quite a shame.

#Foldingtext vs taskpaper software#

I wanted to try again and make a more flexible solution. I bought Folding Text on the Apple Store a few years ago and for some time now I have been reusing this software that I really liked. Lately I have been using taskpaper, both on iOS and OSX, both syncing via dropbox. It still works today, but it’s intended for todo lists. And it allowed me to filter those files so I could find things. It gave me a simple syntax to divide my text files up into projects, tasks, and notes. Why isnt this Taskpaper version 3 Or Mori version 2 Why does the developer keep making up new products, rather than enhancing the existing ones 10.

I think being free to make a mess is important, but without a way to eventually create structure they break down. Rather than copying the TaskPaper-formatted Preview, the data can be exported, obviously, as text with a.taskpaperextension and used in the actual TaskPaper app, or the Editorial app on iOS. After a while they get messy and are hard to understand and navigate. Eventually I sold Mori.īut text files aren’t perfect either. In addition FoldingText allows you to select word, sentence, paragraph, and branch boundaries.

I worked all day in my fancy information manager, and kept all my notes in plain text files on my desktop. FoldingText allows you to select your text as you would in any other text editor. This left me in an embarrassing situation. Just me and my ideas without a bunch of user interface widgets in the way. It didn’t do as much, but it is clean, simple, and direct. It did everything that I thought I wanted… A place to record, process, and create ideas. My goal was to create the perfect information manager. Also, the file is in a Dropbox directory.From 2001 to 2007 I made a program called Mori. Note that I'm running on Mavericks and I installed FoldingText (2.0.2) using the App Store. $ xattr -l tasks.taskpaper | grep īut when I open the file with FoldingText again, I get the popup dialog again, and the attribute has somehow been re-added to the file: $ xattr -l tasks.taskpaper | grep Ĭom.apple.quarantine: 0002 53b0b0dc FoldingText
