Best software for MAC users: Sticky Brain

Posted by kmickleson z9 CA (My Page) on

I posted this in the Garden Tips thread, but think it deserves its own thread, as it may reach more MAC users this way.

Following up on Pauline's 6-18-05 notes in the Garden Tips thread, an absolutely wonderful piece of software is called Sticky Brain by Chronos. [I don't work for them.]

It lets you set up files of infinite categories--my "Garden" file has sub-folders of everything from Annuals to Aroids to Filler Ideas to Rose Care..etc. Then, whenever I'm online & find a web page or a forum thread or whatever, relevant to something, I can copy/paste its contents right into a new Note in a given folder, & it's always available to me. You can drag & drop a photo of a plant from a website into a note. It also has many other handy, wonderful features, like capacity to add check boxes to To Do lists, etc. It looks like "Mail", with all the folders clearly lined up on the left hand side.

And you can keep all the stuff Pauline mentions in her thread organized in an easy-to-find-later fashion. I can't rave enough about Sticky Brain--for gardening & the rest of my life!

RE: Best software for MAC users: Sticky Brain

Do you or anyone know of a garden inventory program (database?) for the Mac? I use os X 10.3 Panther version. I started out using Appleworks word processor and setting up files for categories such as trees, shrubs, vines, etc. I started with a plant in my garden, went to the web, grabbed a description and pasted it. Then I quickly realized that a searchable database would be much easier. However before I reinvent the wheel, so to speak, I would like to know if there is a Mac software program especially for this purpose. I would like to be able to print out a list, for example, of which plants need fertilizer in early spring. Thanks, Tomartz in KY
