Scrivener then sticks it all together into one document for you when you’re ready to publish. This lets you break down the document into smaller bits, which can then be dragged around and re-ordered. (As well as for documents, an outliner or mind mapper is really useful for planning presentations.)įor the actual writing of bigger documents, I use Scrivener. My favourite mind mapping app is MindNode.
I sometimes use a mind mapping tool to plan a document though, which is a bit more visual.
My favourite at the moment is OmniOutliner. Longer documents, such as various guides and handbooks I am working on tend to be planned using an outliner tool. Since upgrading to the 2011 version on the Mac I have found myself getting angry much less! I just like the way Pages works in terms of laying things out and so on.ĭocuments and reports that I need to share in an editable format with colleagues or customers have to be written in Word.
APPS LIKE WRITEROOM PDF
Proposals and other documents which I’m the only person likely to ever edit are done in Pages, and then exported to PDF for distribution. My local drafts folder is full of half-written, half-baked posts which occasionally get resurrected later on.Īny coding I have to do usually happens in BBEdit, or occasionally something like Nano in a terminal window. It’s easy, and ubiquitous and everything gets kept in one place.īlog posts are written in MarsEdit, an offline editor. Rough notes, ideas and that sort of thing tend to be stored in Evernote. I use a ridiculous number of apps for writing stuff down digitally.
