  • To run the same zettelkasten archive on multiple Macs, put your archive files in the cloud (Dropbox works), install The Archive on each machine. Point each instance of The Archive at the local representation of the cloud storage.

    Dropbox does the work of syncing.

    My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

  • Yeah, any sync service will do the trick that operates on files on your disk (i.e. not Simplenote which has a specialized sync API)

  • Hurray great thx

  • I'm in the same position. To clarify, does this mean buying The Archive twice, once for each machine?

  • @Steph Licenses for The Archive are personal, or "per-user" -- so you can use it on as many machines as you own for yourself.
