![]() I share the preference for Mac’s design that have been pointed out. I won’t go into its features now, but it is a really well thought piece of software. Since it’s a Java app, it’s cross-platform. It’s a very different approach, not really a DT equivalent, but it has the mind mapping and whiteboarding features that I’ve always missed in DT. But the metadata is really oriented to reference management, and the fact that you can’t create custom metadata fields is to me a crucial limitation.įinally, I’ve been recently very interested in iMapping. It has a “related” pane, where you can link related items, and with Zutilo you can have unique URLs of each item for deep linking with other applications. It lets you filter entries by easily selecting multiple tags from the tags pane. By pressing the option/alt key, all the collections that have an item are highlighted. I like that you can add notes to any item and the notes will show as if the item was a group or folder. It’s open source, cross-platform, offers extensive tagging features, and in my experience it offers a very solid performance. If you can dispense with DT3 wonderful custom metadata fields, Zotero would be a strong contender. Mybase also works on Mac, and apparently the upcomming MyInfo version 7 will offer more cross-platform possibilities. They have some equivalent features to replicants in that you can save items into different collections/folders without duplicating them - a feature I find essential in DT. ![]() I haven’t actually used them yet, but from a search I did some time ago I was considering using a Surface Pro as a data entry device, I found the previously mentioned Zoot, MyInfo and Mybase to be the closest alternatives, in terms of offering both file management and note taking functions.
