Nov 23, 2020 DEVONthink is my go-to app for storing data, whether that's markdown text, handwritten notes, or letters from my bank.

Devonthink Markdown Checkbox

In addition to the stuff that comes bundled with your operating system (MS OneNote, Mac Notes) you should probably be aware of these…

Evernote: if you don’t use Evernote already, you should probably start now! Keep the stuff you find on the web, take clippings, organise and tag relevant information, find it when you need it.
nvAlt (notational velocity): simply keep all those text snippets and notes in an easy to access place. Also use markdown for formatting and turn notes into webpages via Simplenote.
Simplenote: Similar functionality and feel to nvAlt for those who prefer to keep things entirely online.
Bear: new note and writing app on the Mac AppStore, looks smooth, nice illustrations of bears!
DevonThink ($): info organiser, a bit like a file manager but with lots of extras, good for managing lots of project-related documents/images/data-files etc.

Starts with the standard WYSIWYG apps, then gets progressively geekier; higher up the list generally means, easier to learn, less control; lower down means, more learning required but also more control.

MSWord ($): you know what Word is; but, just because everybody uses it, that doesn’t necessarily make it the best tool for what you want to do. Remember that there are alternative, sometimes better and easier ways to work.
OpenOffice (also LibreOffice, NeoOffice ($, Mac only) etc): like MSWord but free! Uses the OpenDocument standard which has been adopted by the UK government, this would seem to indicate a high degree of reliability so don’t be perturbed by the fact it’s OpenSource free software. In general these do pretty much what MSOffice does. Can read and produce MSWord .docx files etc.
OmmWriter ($-if-you-want): distraction-free writing! If you find all MSWord’s buttons are a temptation to distraction, try this, it’s just you and your writing on the screen. Very minimal! Ommmmmmmm…..
Scrivener ($): writing software designed for writers rather than people who only want to write letters. Too many features to describe here, best take a look at the website.

Plain text tools

We are now heading into the realm of WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean); with this sort of software you are often creating your documents by separating out the ‘logic’ (i.e. the role or function of a piece of text ) from what a piece of text looks like. For instance, a ‘level one header’ always indicates that the bit of text that it precedes is somehow ‘higher up’ in the document structure than the text preceded by a ‘level two header’, but the headers t
