Curio 5.4, Evernote, and Macworld special!
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
We just released Curio 5.4 with an extra spiffy feature: integrated Evernote support!With the new Evernote shelf built into Curio 5.4 you can now easily search for notes stored on Evernote's service in your account. Searching can include text, tag, kind, and modification date. Then drag-and-drop the results directly to your idea space.
Any found images dragged into an idea space will retain their "optical character recognition" data so searching within Curio using the Search shelf will also find those same images.
And Curio will automatically map your Evernote notebooks and tags with Curio global tag set tags. That way any Evernote items dragged into Curio will be automatically associated with their corresponding Curio tags.
The combination of Curio's Evernote shelf and Evernote's free iPhone app and service means that on-the-go brainstorming and idea collection is now easier than ever.
In addition, Curio 5.4 includes several iCal sync improvements to make syncing more reliable. Plus tweaks to Sleuth, mind map drawing performance, and tons of other little fixes and tweaks. Read the complete release notes for all the details.
To celebrate the Curio 5.4 release during this week's MacWorld Expo, Zengobi is offering a 20% discount for any Curio purchases made this week from our online store. Just use the coupon code MACWORLD2009 when making your purchase.

If any sort of synergism between curio and evernote is going to be of any use Curio needs to be able to save files in Evernote. Evernote is clearly better at building a database that is easy to navigate and more importantly back up to a remote server, however, it does a very poor job as a digital notebook replacement. Curio offers very nice features for maintaining a notebook in terms of adding pictures and actually feels like a notebook but its database browsing is very clumsy. If the two could work together their many complementing features would benefit both pieces of software.

one more thing.... there is potentially a huge market that is untapped for software that serves as an all-in-one digital notebook for science labs. What is needed is very simple really. One needs a simple application that allows one to add text, pictures, audio, video and simple tables. Any extra would be a bonus but certainly not necessary. Curio offers nice solution to most of these already. What is also needed is a decent browser to view multiple projects in a database like way. Examples of decent systems for this would be Devonthink, papers, or evernote. Evernote is notable in that is syncs with a server and can easily be shared. For a lab PI or manager that wants access to notebooks this is ideal. If the features of these two programs (curio and evernote) could be combined it would be perfect. It is very surprising that all the programs that offer very nice options to make digital notebooks (MS word 2008 notebook layout and pages '09) just don't get it. There are good programs to make notebooks and there are good database programs.... but no good integration of the two.
