Mac alternative to IdeaMason?

I'm looking for a Grand Unified Interface to manage writing, actions, archiving, ticklers, projects, scheduling - pretty much everything - from within the same tool. IdeaMason looks very promising, but is available for Windows only. DevonThink is close, but not quite the same. Can anyone recommend an alternative for Mac?

I don't think there's anything...

I don't think there's anything around on the mac that will completely duplicate IdeaMason (though I'm seeing this program for the first time).
Possible suggestions for alternatives include:
Scrivener
Dex (a new project-based materials management by the developer of Journler--it's still in development.)
Tinderbox (in many ways more powerful than IdeaMason. It's been called Photoshop for words. But that's its real strength: text. Not adept at manipulating or storing web or pdf or image resources.)

Of course, you could always try IdeaMason running in Parallels.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
