On: Ask HN: How do you keep track of everything?

I use Notational Velocity (and its fork, nvALT) on Mac for almost everything. This replaced everything, including Evernote, etc. The text files are saved to git repository daily.

On Linux, I use vim (with lots of plugins that gives me similar functionality to NV).

NV and nvALT were such a gereat push in note taking. My first note is now five years old. Before that, I have used a plain text file for everything.

I really like the hyperlinks and full text search in nvALT.
