Synapsen 3.6h (Mac)

Overview:

Synapsen is an elegant, easy-to-use hypertextual card catalog or reference tool that enables the management of bibliographies. However, in contrast to normal literature management software, synapsen offers a very distinct advantage: with catchwords entered by the user, the program connects individual cards automatically and creates not only a network of cards whose relation to each other might have been forgotten, but also creates completey unexpected connections and relations between individual entries. Synapsen is therefore not only for electronic literature management, but also a helping hand when writing scientific texts, which participates in communication with the author in order to augment lines of argumentation and the generation of ideas. Synapsen is written in Java, runs on all operating systems, and supports standards like BibTeX, LaTeX, PDF, RTF and SQL. Runs on all major operating systems like Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.
