My choice has been for some time Nisus Writer Pro, though there are some very nice things I like about Mellel. Nisus Writer Pro is a pretty direct Word substitute, and it has many features and performance that Word lacks.
Hogan's “Recommended Mac Software” page on his own site, a list of the utilities and applications he uses and advises photographers to use. The page shows no publication date; the date used is the server's Last-Modified header (2026-08-30).
Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
