Interview with Keith Blount, Creator of Scrivener
I switched from Scrivener to a two app approach: Obsidian for all of my own writing, DevonThink for all research materials. I love having this distinction and find both my mind and workspaces feel less cluttered as a result. I also like that all my writing is completely portable. I can link between the two apps  using either app URLs or using Hookmark but I haven’t used this much yet. If I needed timelines for a particular project I’d buy a copy of Aeon. I used to have a version on an old machine but it’s since been updated and I haven’t worked on anything that needed it yet although I imagine I will do at some point.<p>Should also add that I do have a soft spot and gratitude for Scrivener as, coming from Word, it was the first software that I used that allowed you to organise all your notes together in folders and contained other cool tools for writers such as the built in name generator (which I still use), the corkbord organiser etc. Scapple (made by the same company) is also great if you want to do some quick mind mapping and integrates really well with Scrivener as you can import all the bubbles and get to work fleshing them out.
