Apps supporting my thinking

By Zsolt Benke

I’m looking for the best outliner. I even collected the list of apps I have on my system for taking notes, and managing different set of lists.

I’m not even sure if an app like this exists.

But the Mac has really cool apps, that can be used for information management. I mean look what I have on my system.

These are just apps that work with text or information organization in one way.

There are some overlays, like TaskPaper/Bike/OmniOutliner, but these are in essence just lists.

This is what I get if I organize them by category.

I don’t use all of them, but there are different use cases for each of these apps.

I don’t see how my iPad would fit some of these.

And here are the ones which are available in some form on the iPad.

After checking the full list, here are the iPad apps that I have for planning and thinking.

I also added a description to every item so I know what my freaking expensive iPad Pro can be used for, and I can stop complaining about missing Bike and TaskPaper on my iPad.
