I use Timeline only when there’s a timeline that matters.Plottr seems designed for pulp fiction series I use it to help structure sections and chapters, watching elements and themes across the narrative.It’s not always my first stage - often I’ll come to it (or similar techniques) to work things out after making a start. I use Mindomo to play with ideas and relationships.All they have in common is that they have subject matter, and a written output where elements are pulled together in threads. Fact, fiction, formal reports, academic, even journalism at times. It’s complicated by the fact that I do many different types of writing with different needs. It will take some thinking about: usually I just adjust to how things are rather than speculate on what would be perfect. This is a very interesting question (at least to me). If you are interested in the workflows of others, you are welcome to check my essential tools out under The Write Tools at. I have Ulysses, Aeon Timeline, DEVONthink as the huge benefits to offset the downfalls of being at Apple’s behest.īut we are each to our own and I am sure that the Linux ecosphere has now spawned quite a few decent pieces of software for writers. Unfortunately I just could not find enough high quality software on that platform, and I could never bring myself to return to a Windows based system, so I migrated across to Apple quite some years ago now. ![]() I loved the true freedom that brought with it. Yes, I also have persuasions towards this point of view. They think I’m safest if I’m contained in their bunker. I think I’m safest being free to go anywhere. But could you see yourself using Ulysses? Coupled with Aeon Timeline it’s a great combination.īut Apple and I have a philosophical disagreement. I know Obsidian stores pure Markdown metadata in its headers. You may be a markdown purist re metadata. All facilitated through x-callback links stored in Aeon Timeline’s attachments panel. I also use DevonTHINK for research and Aeon Timeline is my bridge between my research material and my writing in Ulysses. I have put in a feature request for x-callback-urls to be able to access Aeon directly from within Ulysses and that request is to be considered. And on iPadOS, with the new multitasking workflows the whole system works like a dream. But I also know that Aeon Timeline is close by should I wish to look some important information up. I have tweaked my system to have just enough metadata stored in Ulysses to facilitate my writing. Ulysses’ sync with Aeon can push metadata through to keywords or to the app’s notes system. However, I appreciate your needs may be different to mine. Matching Ulysses with Aeon Timeline is the sweet spot for me. Not only because it is markdown based, but because, in my opinion it is at least as good as Scrivener for long/form writing projects, if not better, and also has extensive built-in blogging support. I also prefer to write in plain text files and use Ulysses as my main writing program. Hi seems you have a lot of options there in terms of software for writing and planning/ outlining. But what I will want to avoid fleshing things out in any program that doesn’t give me an easy route to putting the info into my. So far I’ve only used any of these tools for a single purpose. I’m also not sure how much it will matter. Will become simpler when Plottr can import. It looks as if I can start anywhere I want, but will then have to think things out. There are other conversion methods, but it’s a pity that workflows will have to be so convoluted. Timeline can import and export from/to Excel via. It exports to Scrivener, which can sync with Timeline. Mindomo will do that directly, otherwise it looks as if I will need to use Scrivener as a converter. If I put in a lot of detail, I want to be able to push it into markdown files for use when writing. pmom) MindManager file (.mmap) Freemind file (.mm) pmom) MindManager file (.mmap) Freemind file (.mm) Mindmeister file (.mind) XMind file (.xmind) file (.xml) SimpleMind file (.smmx) iThoughts file (.itmz)
