free-form database, calendar, alarms, links, rich text, fast searches, comparable contact and pim management capabilities). Many apps have their strengths and weaknesses. Honestly, I have tried to find a competent replacement for IS-8 for 2-years now. My inquiry is based upon current needs vs. Like me, I think you'll come back eventually. And I can carry all my data with me on USB - availabel in my hands whenever I need it.
I believe I have found the right software and made the right choice. I was looking for an alternative database storage medium for a number of years. At the same time you can keep an effective Diary and ToDo notes all in the same application as well. Existing users hope this will be addressed in time.īut on the positive side, you can keep notes in a tree and add attachments inline which most others don't do. Namely, notes are not easily searched and nor are reports on contents available at present. But as single use applications they are clearly deficient in many respects.Īt the same time, EPIM too, has some shortfalls, that's to be expected with work in progress. Many of the other products on the market have their own particular strengths.
Now, I am not marketing EPIM to you, but sharing my experiences. EPIM helped me merge my diary and notes storage needs into one medium. I switched to EPIM in May this year after trying out just about everything on the market.
If you're used to the heavy tree structure notes "random" facility of Info Select, you'll like TreeDBNotes, and the Pro version will probably surprise you as you go through the trial download etc, very "deep" capable program, will go a long way to cleaning my office and clutter LOL.įor simple and portable and A-Z, Essential Pim rocks.Īs a former user of all the products you mention and far more, I can speak honestly about the topic you raise. Nice theme options etc, not the drab "old 80's" look of Info Select, and cheaper than a one year renewal on Info Select:įor a portable / small footprint, versatile program that includes more standard database features, Essential Pim is great. Their freeware version is very good, but the Pro version is very well worth the bit of money for that upgrade.
jpg etc paste full featured program is TreeDBNotes Pro. Info Select is a "heavy" notes / tree-notes searchable random info program (as you know), my suggestion for a GREAT alternative that has a more modern interface, is very very full featured as a tree / nodes / tabbed / searchable / formated text. Thank you in advance for a prompt and detailed response.
and someone was kind enough to refer me to your website (source: ) I had actually submitted this same inquiry at the EverNote forum. but have not able to find a clear winner as a Free-form database / contact manager / PIM replacement application. QUESTION: Can anyone help me make a clear decision based on a "power user's" personal experience? I would very much like to UN-SUBSCRIBE from Info Select. I am now considering EverNote 1.1 ( ), Black Hole Organizer ( ) and PK-3 ( ). I use IS-8 for businesses and utilitze the free-form database, calendar and alarms quite heaviliy. and my annual subscription is coming due within 10-days for $50.00. I have been using Info Select ( ) for years now.
