My new software favorite: Personal Brain – James Fallows

Link via the Atlantic

PersonalBrain 5But for the moment: Personal Brain, from TheBrain software in Marina del Rey, California. I’m in that familiar and always-enjoyable phase of feeling: this program is really interesting, and let’s see how it fits the way I think and work.

The idea of the program is to connect any item — a call you want to make, a web site you want to quote, a PDF file you want to read, or even an entire project you’re beginning — with any other, in a flexible variety of relationships. FWIW, the program calls its items “thoughts.” Here’s an idea of how some of the connections look, in a view that shows many projects for which I’m collecting info or am working on.


PersonalBrain 5 Pro Mac/Windows/Linux (download version) is available at an education discount price of $179.


PersonalBrain 5 Core (download version) is available at an education discount price of $89.
