Use a "Fixes" file in BBEdit. Design a bash script that appends a master file in BBEdit: - copy text to be archived - run script - enter the title of this archived entry (I use this script in Launchbar, excellent tool) - paste title, current date and a visual divider - paste clipboard -

What about Yojimbo? I know it's it sore need of an update, but I still find it indispensable. For the $3/month the synching costs me, it's well worth it. I wish it would play nicer with iOS, but still hugely useful for all sorts of stuff on my desktops, where the bulk of my work is still done.

Yes, you’re right, DEVONthink seems to be much more sophisticated than HoudahSpot. I usually use the nvALT-search (via Launchbar) first and only if I am not finding what I want (= rarely) HoudahSpot (that I use more often for finding PDFs). I’ll give DEVONthink a chance (but only with

I'd steer away from Ulysses as it has a tendency to corrupt plain text files created outside of it's system with it's own idiosyncratic version of Markdown. Going back to the needs you describe - *+ Able to handle plain text files * *+ Understand Markdown (easy to preview) * *+ Integration

Based on what you've written, it (sort of) sounds like Ulysses will do what you want, but it would mean buying another application. It doesn't exactly integrate with BBEdit, but you can import text files into Ulysses and manage them there. http://ulyssesapp.com -- This is the BBEdit Talk

I know you said it wasn't a good fit for your project, but I'll just add that I use BBEdit for this function. I keep journals to track all my projects at work, and I write in Markdown. I made a Project named—wait for it—Project Journals, and for each project, there's one running .md file.

You should just use BBEdit itself. Even notebook apps clutter your system, they just hide that clutter somewhere in ~/library. Have you tried using a BBEdit project? On Apr 28, 2015, at 12:49 AM, Jan Erik Moström li...@mostrom.pp.se wrote: I write a lot of notes in Markdown format
