It uses the Ecco concept of outlined items with a data grid, multiple notepads, user-defined fields and forms, etc as a way of organizing your information. As Ecco, it can manage tasks, calendar, contacts, notes. Unlike Tinderbox, it is multi-user ready (simultaneous) with field-value level granularity, it is based on a database (Tinderbox is XML based), so performance will not be affected as it grows. Its data is accessible to other apps and it supports calculations, pivot tables and charts, rich-text in the outline and in a separate word-processing-like pane, journals, powerful HTML export/mail-merge facilities, and web-like linking between items. The UI is modern MS Office-like. Latest version adds GTD features and system-wide shortcut to add information/web-clippings from other apps.
