finally

i spend most of my work time in meetings, and until recently had tried every note taking, action tracking app i could find, but none provided what i needed and i persevered with my paper based system. then i found simplenote.

simplenote is very straightforward and provides almost everything that i need; anything else i can add myself with a little bit of python. i now have a system where once i tag a note as “complete”, its detected by a scheduled python job and quickly parsed. any line beginning with “>” is sent to omnifocus where i track my actions, any word prefixed with “@“ or “#” is tagged for reference in simplenote, and finally a copy is sent to evernote to be archived. all automatically.

works beautifully, and only took me a few hours one weekend to get working. now i can use the beautiful user interface on simplenote to document meetings, actions etc, and know that it will be immediately parsed and forwarded to two other great apps that i also use.

without question the best app in the store, and i’ve bought all of them. also the cheapest !
