What software is needed to do the system?

10-19 Concepts 14 Build your system

Hi All,

Seriously considering undertaking this.
I am an Evernote user but I am concerned it will go away.

So. This appears to be a system you can use WITHOUT a database like Evernote. As in, just folders in Windows.

Am I understanding this right? Any advice appreciated.

Hi Élise and welcome. :wave:

JD index is software agnostic.

First of all, it consists of using an index that will be the only reference point of your system. This index allows you to create the structure of your file system but it goes far beyond.

To maintain your index you can use the note management software you want even if some are often honored like Bear and Apple Notes on Mac or obsidian.

You can read on the JDex here and find a good software here.

Whichever software you choose, my advice is to make sure it can export your full index in a form easily readable by other apps. Markdown is a good example of an export format that is useful in many places.

I share @Evgeny’s opinion: just use a file system, folders in folders, and then in each folder you can have your actual documents, or just plaintext files.
