![]() Boo, you whiners who have never written a line of code and expect fine software for free. But I'm sure that if it cost $5 or $10 there would be whiners. And I wish it wasn't free as that can give the developer a license to abandon it. I also noticed that it added extra white space around a simple image that was exported as a PDF that is surely a bug. Yes, it can export in several file formats but that doesn't solve the PITA if you ever have to convert hundreds of files at once in the future. And it uses its own file format which can burn you in the future. I'll mark it down a bit because it is missing a constrained-draw feature while holding Shift but I'm sure that will get fixed. It launches in a blink of an eye and has a good help system, which is to say, does not use Apple's built-in crapfest of a help window but uses its own speedy and informative system. But this isn't just a clone of SuperPaint it is built with all the goodness of Apple's latest technology and it even imports QuickDraw. There are vector drawings and bitmaps, and you can put bitmaps into the drawing layer. Simple, straightforward, but very capable-not so stripped-down that you can't do much of anything. Sometimes you need a fine deep drawing program such as EazyDraw, but much of the time you just need to get some work done without messing around with tons of features, and that is what this program is good for. But as the developer notes, Growly Draw is a throwback to that venerable program from the '80s and '90s. 1647: Focus-caused notification issues, site-specific browser examples, virtualizing Windows on M-series Macs.AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

While Notebook will likely continue to work fine in OS X 10.11 El Capitan, its lifespan is necessarily limited, and users would do well to start researching alternatives.īut there are an overwhelming number of choices to sort through, and many of them look quite similar. Several readers have asked us for our opinion, and while it’s easy to suggest Apple’s Notes or point at powerful apps like DEVONthink, it’s impossible for us to recommend a single app. Personal information managers as a class have evolved to fill every available niche in the ecosystem, and only you know what features you need. We want to help provide some direction to your research, and some data to support your eventual choice, so we’re trying something new: a reader-driven survey aimed at rating personal information managers for you to fill out (it’s embedded at the bottom of this article on our Web site or you can navigate to it directly). Please rate only those apps with which you have significant personal experience.Ī few important notes before you start clicking:.That means weeks or months of use, not something that you launched once before discovering that it lacked a feature you need. Just don’t enter ratings for apps you haven’t used.
