Hog Bay Notebook now Mori
Paul Turnbull mentioned Hog Bay Notebook back in February, and I just now got around to checking it out. The name is now Mori, and it costs $27.95. What is it? A small, efficient, powerful text editor and filing cabinet. Similar to StickyBrain, Mori has a bunch of little tricks to keeping and sorting data. For you GTD followers out there, Mori is comparable to, but better than, Action Outline. What makes Mori a little different than your average text editor might be the willingness of Hog Bay Software to involve the users in the development process. While they aren't giving away code, they do actively promote the public discussion of features, changes, and bugs. They also have a user-contributed guide for Mori, and a little book on the company (and how to participate). A very cool concept. A lot of companies pay lip service to this, but how many actually follow up?

I'm the author of Mori, thanks for the mention. I'm particular pleased that you picked up on our development process. Me and a bunch of beta testers have been working on it for a while, it's nice to see that the "outside world" also likes the idea.

Hi, my favorite information and not organizer is iNotePad (http://www.vojousoftware.com/). It's simple but pretty powerful. Notes can contain all kind of media (including PDF) and you can create links to files or applications that way you can start an app just by clicking on the word (I have lists of frequently performer tasks and I just go from one to the next). You can also have tables and lists in notes. And there's iPod and .Mac support and encryption.

Hi guys,
Just want to point out myNotes http://www.mishimo.com/mynotes
It's yet-another-note-taking-app, but has a couple of nice features such as printable themes and Address Book integration.
