That is a great idea!

DT drives me nuts because the title becomes the file name and is removed from the note body.

Probably a way to automate around that problem.

Or maybe just up to me to do a better job of gardening my commonplace book.

I’ve been thinking of using Ulysses for this. The only problem is that I want to be able to work from the notes themselves…build them into essays or presentations…but I don’t want to lose the original note in case I need it for something else later.

@KevinR, I understand your frustration. I have work arounds.

On the Mac, the DT extension with PopClip duplicates the first line as the title for the DT app.

On iOS, I crafted my own Drafts action to duplicate the first line and then sends it to DT-to-Go.

I have about 5,000 pieces of info, ranging from snippets to full PDFs stashed in Recall-It Notes which I wrote for exactly this purpose. Feel free to check it out; it is free w/ads right now and the next version will probably drop the ads.

Wow that actually looks really nice - in contrast to so much iOS software (and increasingly Mac too…) which suffers from the absence of a well-developed query language.
