I think I was a bit worried that the annotations A couple of 2015, 2016 articles about the app here: Quick search shows it’s bee around for a couple of years. I will check it again (if it can replace at least part of the functions of the Atlas Ti). Thank you for bringing Tagnotate to our attention. I paid a hefty cost and works only for 2 years. I find Atlas Ti much more efficient because of the quotations and that I can write comments, titles, and summaries to the quotations. It is a very neat way of reading and processing information. You can then construct a collection of documents or quotations across documents using the tags. You annotate a specific part (paragraph), quote it as well in the case of Atlas Ti, and tag (code it). Almost all the quantitative data analysis software follow the same strategy. That is exactly why I have been using Atlas.Ti, Nvivo and MaxQda. I think I was a bit worried that the annotations made with the app are not visible other pdf reading applications.īut, I love the idea of tagging paragraphs (bullet points) and being able to drill down into the individual tags. >(and I mean really similar, not “similar.to” like similar). >Are there any other apps which are similar regarding this functionality? >What is your take on Tagnotate? Do you find the concept useful or are The app has its shortcomings: no updates in a long time, you cannot rename a tag and deleting the tag involves deleting are instances it is assigned to….) (BTW, I am in no way affiliated with the authors of TN except that I bought the app on my iPad. What is your take on Tagnotate? Do you find the concept useful or are the use-cases in your cases too exotic?Īre there any other apps which are similar regarding this functionality? (and I mean really similar, not “similar.to” like similar). Am I the only one who would find such a thing useful or is it so difficult to implement? This is the same with every other note taker which I tried (MyNotes Keeper, RightNote, MyBase, CherryNotes…). You can assign multiple tags to a document (but not on a specific part of the document), but you can filter / search only according to ONE TAG. On a related note: Why are tag-implementations on note taking / outliner applications so weak? For example MyInfo, which is my main note taker. I really wish there would be a Windows (or Android) app like this, ideally with some note-taking addition (or is there?) I use it primarily on my iPad, as I have no Mac (I have MacOS virtualized through VirtualBox on Windows, however it is no joy working in this because of the lag). This way, I often see connections between areas which are at first look not related.Īs I said, TN is unfortunately available only on apple OS’s. When I want to focus on one area of my interests, I dril down with the tag-search, and copy all the info associated with those tags for further studying. Things which I find interesting are highlighted and tagged according to my pre-defined tag-list. When I read non-fiction books, they tend to be from various fields - Physics, Psychology, History, Politics, Pop Science, Economics etc. Why is that important (at least for my workflows)? When you select the virtual folder / collection, the tag-cloud only shows tags which are contained in the pdf’s in this specific locations. the library of TN allows “virtual folders”, meaning one pdf can be in several virtual folders (or collections). To be clear: the export contains only the annotated portions of the pdf’s, not the whole pdf’s. after you have drilled down enough, you can export the results to the clippboard and use it for further study. TN shows the pdf files which contain the selected tags and also a preview of the annotation. you can search inside the pdfs in your library with full text search but also with tags you can “drill down” to your search by selecting multiple tags from the tag-cloud (using AND / OR operators). So, tags are not based on the pdf file, but on its contents. you can underline (highlight) and annotate parts of pdf files and tag every annotation INDIVIDUALLY. Given the fact that a great deal of discussions here focus on MacOS software (and to a lesser degree to iOS), this is quite strange.įor those who did not hear about this app, it is a pdf-reader and annotator, but it has some unique functionality that I didn’t find in any other app, either on Windows or Android. I was suprised to find very few references to TagNotate here on (to be precise, only two short references, in a thread discussing octopusnotes).
