Great choice for thinking, notetaking and planning

xtiles help me organize my thoughts and easily find all data I added earlier

PROS

xtiles allow me to structure my data as I want. I can create pages, tabs, and blocks without the mess on a single board. Creating subpages for describing items in detail is a helpful feature for arranging my data and thoughts.

CONS

I'm looking forward to a macOS desktop app

Reasons for switching to xTiles

The xtiles app is a simple, and lightweight tool with a fast search. There are no mess of buttons and features that I have to learn.

A tool that helped us creating creatives and plan releases

xTiles is really good for preparing content for our PR activities and planning our marketing in general

PROS

I like the way we can organize our pieces of content in a document using tiles and tabs. We normally separate tabs for drafts and clean copies for our creatives. Subpages also help to store some inspirations and personal notes. A big plus is the ability to comment and get notifications when someone comments on your notes which is really handy for collaborative work.

CONS

Lack of rich text formatting. I'd like to have at least several kinds of fonts and text colors. Because eventually our text content most often has different fonts, colors, and sizes, so it looks uncompleted in the tool.

My one stop app (mobile and desktop) for informationmanagement!

In today's information society, I am fed information all day long. I am also a student and I have to read literature and write articles for various professional products. In all cases I need a canvas to work on. I am very visually minded and have searched the corners of the earth for the perfect app that meets my expectations. After trying different visual and flat text apps I came across xTiles by accident. And I really know what I'm talking about when I mention that I've tried different apps. xTiles has a very short learning curve and after 5 minutes you know exactly what the intention is. Then comes the funniest part. Developing your own use cases. And if you don't have any inspiration for a while, you can choose from dozens of YouTube videos in which use cases are discussed. The team is also great. Every question is answered and every team member is stressed how you as a user want to use their product.

PROS

I use it for: notes, visual planning, GTD, taskmanager, book reviews, visionboard and collaboration.

CONS

At this moment the product fullfills my information management needs en can't think of any.

Reasons for switching to xTiles

In the end everybody has specific needs when it comes to app use. I found all my needs in xTiles. That makes other products not bad, but just for me.

I've been able to simplify my research

It's a very simple solution to go with. The UI is really intuitive. It took me just several minutes to get a grasp of how to use it and navigate in the tool. Eventually, I've streamlined most of the steps of my analysis.

PROS

I like how easy it's to use the tool. I can quickly break my findings into fragments using the cards (tiles) and move them around just like I need. Also I like the possibility of creating sub-pages. It allows me to avoid cluttering of the main page.

CONS

The tool really lack a web clipper and ability to make basic calculations with tables which makes me to switch between Google Sheets and then to copy&paste my calculations into xTiles.

Big picture before your eyes

Very first tool that allow to draw the big picture and detailed it to small pieces. You can start from one page and deep dive with sub pages. Using tabs like in spreadsheet is something really new in note-taking apps, but it's help a lot with structuring and navigation.

PROS

Easy to learn, quick start from scratch, but enough powerful and flexible.

CONS

I want more features to collaboration mode, instead of comments and mention, I would want to have reactions and due dates or reminders.
