The Index - Tools and Best Practices

I think @johnnydecimal prefers AirTable (see Tracking your numbers | Johnny•Decimal). But I guess it depends on your needs and preferences.

I’ve experimented with Numbers at first (see My derivate of J.D (and P.A.R.A.) - #3 by bogenschlag) but that’s a bit fiddly on an iPhone. Then I moved to MindNote (in outliner mode, see Using an outliner for the index) and from there to OmniOuliner (for its column support). (I already had/used/owned all these.)

If you don’t need columns to track location etc. a simple(r) outliner is not a bad choice IMHO. https://zavala.vincode.io for example is looking to shape up quite nicely, available both on macOS and i(Pad)OS and free.
