I have a bit of love for threaded things and journal like interfaces which are revolving around time.
My thread-based tools are
- Gibberish for writing thoughts in a chat-like threaded UI
- Strflow for taking notes in a similar chat-like UI, but with more journal format
- TaskPaper for my interstitial journal which I mostly use for brainstorming
- MindNode and Bike for ad-hoc but deeper brainstorming which is a one-off thing
- Markdown notes or entries in DEVONthink for project related journaling
- ChatGPT project based threads which are great for processing large amounts of information
I also have streams.
- Reeder for everything related around my inner browsing circle
- Day One as my private stream of thoughts
- My blog, which is my public stream of thoughts
- My Photos which are my visual stream of memories and moments
Finally there are queues which are for processed items picked from streams or threads
- OmniFocus/Things for my next actions
- Calendar for my events and appointments (in a timeline)
- Reminders for my reminders
- Safari Reading List for my online readings
- DEVONthink Reading List for my deeper readings
- Books for my book readings
- Podcasts saved episodes for my podcast listening sessions
- Apple TV up next for watching movies and TV shows
- YouTube Watch Later for online videos
- And finally the various inboxes I have in different apps like Mail, DEVONthink, and OmniFocus
I should have an outline of these different types of applications.
