This setup is a little more hands on to install and setup, but it is worth it. No weird glitches, crashing or other issues, it just a simple system works as it should.

The setup instructions are clear and concise. They do take a minute to get your head around compared to other software installs that I am used to, but as the instructions are on point, it is not difficult.
I am using this on macOS and will be trying it on Windows soon too.

But relatedly, I would kill to have tabular numerals in the sidebar, so files beginning with date stamps or any numbers line up. See The Archive sidebar for reference. Source: over 1 year ago
