Together might not be intended to be a particularly strong notetaker but it is!

If I ever drop it as a general information manager—not that I intend to—I am pretty sure that I will still keep it as a note book for my own scribblings.

It’s the sum of all the tiny functions that make it indispensable for my workflow. There could be some more, yes, but I’ll keep these for just another nagging post in the feedback forum …

Together is just a great piece of work and I hope you will keep up developing it for a long time!

over the years since I switched from linux to OSX (summer of ‘03), I’ve tried a number of PIM’s — voodoo pad, CP notebook, entourage, mori, yojimbo, journler, omni outliner, soho notebook, and together. in all of this time, I’ve found that I’ve been using together the longest. a lot of the reason for that is that it allowed me to do a few things:

* stop duplicating my data across multiple applications — the fact that together flattens everything onto the filesystem allows me to treat it as a one stop shop. I don’t duplicate across a database (i.e. mori or yojimbo) and the filesystem. likewise, my data isn’t spread out in multiple places — it’s only in together, which also happens to be completely accessible (and extensible) via the finder. I love this flexibility.

* I stopped looking for the one uber product that was both a superior organizer and a fantastic note taker at the same time. rather, I wound up just storing CP notebook documents inside together and am quite happy with the result. it’s really being able to use 2 best of breed products in a single, cohesive manner that has allowed me to stabilize on this one method of working/organizing for so long now.

so, all in all, I’ve been really happy w/ together and continue to use it every day as my central organizing tool. If I were to more fully perfect my workflow, there are a few things I’d love to see:

* that the shelf was accessible when together isn’t running
* that the shelf’s quick note could be configured to write to a particular together folder
* that CP notebook had a quick entry bezel similar to omnifocus or things
* that either together or cp notebook had an iphone client — this would be particularly useful for managing tasks and a few key files/notes on both my mac and my iphone. this would allow me to stop using a third application like omnifocus.

thanks so much for all of your efforts in developing and maintaining together!

Comment on Evernote Importer for Together by Graham

Works just brilliantly. Thanks. Excellent. Essential add-on. I use both apps and integration at a deeper level would be excellent. How about exporting easily the other way into Evernote? Some kind of seamless integration please. I don’t see them as competition – I use them both a lot. Thanks Together team!

The tagging enhancements are brilliant, especially automatic tagging.

iKanji+iKana won’t teach you Japanese, but as a learning aid they look like fantastic resources. I wish iKanji had been around when I was taking Japanese in college; kanji were always what I had the most trouble remembering.

Comment on Together 2.1 – MobileMe Sync by Lucien Taylor

This is a fantastic business app. I simply cannot get excited about syncing/protecting our work with .MAC. It seems geared up for non-business fun-seekers. We’ve got Together working flawlessly with Dropbox, although only in beta it looks more promising for serious use.

That makes sense.

So… what’s to stop this taking over a good deal of Finder operations? Have you tested this with large databases either in terms of size or number of files? There’s a part of me that’s intrigued by the idea of incorporating whole chunks of my existing data.
