Expandable Screen Support

Devices from Handera, AlphaSmart and Sony have versatile screens that are expandable, going beyond the traditional square screen of most Palm OS devices. ThoughtManager takes advantage of all these screens allowing you to see more information at once.

Hi-resolution Support for Sony and Palm OS 5

ThoughtManager supports both Sony and Palm OS 5 hi-resolution screens with high density graphics and support for smaller fonts.

Line Numbering

You can choose to use numbers instead of bullets and arrows. You can use numeric, alphabetic, roman numerals, and other styles. To access line numbering, choose Options from the menu when you are in an outline.

Appearance Preferences

When you start ThoughtManager, you will notice a whole new look using colors to highlight the background of your outlines. You can control the look of your outlines by choosing Appearance from the menu outlines.

Slap Support

ThoughtManager integrates with our newest product, Slap. From Slap, you can quickly convert text to an outline.
