The other thing that became clear is that these apps, although they’re nominally in the same category, actually vary quite widely. On average, responders rated nearly four apps each, meaning that some people have used a lot of the apps in the list at one time or another. A few commenters even said that they use more than one of these apps simultaneously, since different apps have different strengths. When it came time to evaluate the results, I calculated the weighted average for each app, assigning a weight of 1 (Avoid it) through 5 (Can’t live without it) for the five choices - the best weighted average possible is thus 5. Apps that received a lot of votes are well-known, but not necessarily popular.What should you take away from this list, when looking for a personal information management app? Apps that received only a handful of votes have skewed weighted averages, of course, so I also counted the raw number of votes each app received. Microsoft OneNote, for instance, ranked 6th in number of votes, but 27th in the ratings. Apps added relatively late in the survey garnered fewer votes, but if they have a high enough weighted average, they may still be worth looking into.TheBrain and iNotepad had only 5 votes each, but scored 3.80 (5th) and 3.60 (6th) in weighted average.

The most interesting apps are those that have a lot of votes and a high weighted average, such as OmniFocus (158 votes, 3.87), nvALT (100 votes, 3.85), and DEVONthink (213 votes, 3.80).īe sure to look at the full results and read the comments on the original article, since there’s a ton of useful information there that I couldn’t convey here. Without further ado, then, here’s the full list, sorted by number of votes. I offer rating graphs and commentary for the ten apps that garnered the most votes for the rest, the research is up to you, since only you know what features are important. Focus on apps that have free trial versions, since you’ll want to get some experience with the app before you commit to it, and because you’re likely to want to use this app for years, stick with apps that are getting regular updates.

There’s no guarantee any of these apps won’t disappear tomorrow, but you don’t want to start with an app that’s already a zombie.Įvernote (365 votes, 3.48, Free/$24.95 per year/$49.99 per year) - Our top vote-getter was Evernote, the popular online note-taking service that also offers native apps for OS X, iOS, Windows, and Android and automatically syncs between all your devices.
