The Gyronix site had detailed information on their flagship product (ResultsManager) including the full 217 page manual
http://www.gyronix.com/grm/

and useful discussion forum archives and mailing lists:

They run a lean operation and invest most of their time into 1:1 support over email and through discussion groups and boards as well as professional training. In terms of user support, I don't think you'll find many companies that match Nick Duffill.

GyroQ just launched last fall. The site has good documentation of its basic functionality but things are still evolving. I agree there are some gaps in terms of worked examples and customizations — hence the need for this site to become my Sunday morning hobby alternative to Sudoku or the New York Times crossword puzzle :-).

The comments are moderated so there is a delay between posting and visibility on the site.

By the way, are you "Gyronix"? I just noticed that you do not sign with a real name, which is extremely unusual for a blogger – part of blogging is having your name known in the community. It is relatively uncommon not to use a name here.

Also, if you are not actually Gyronix, do you agree that the Gyronix website is pretty bare as to the whats, whys, and hows of their software? I would prefer to see the developer pump a bit more into presentation – at least upfront for potential customers – than they presently are. Lack of information and documentation on their site makes me wonder if that sparsity of information follows through to their product documentation; user manuals, Help files, etc. I'd hate to find that out after making a purchase.

Thanks again.

You can view several demos if you read through the Gyronix Newsletters:

There was a in-depth Mindjet webinar last week:

I'd encourage you to watch that once the replay is available.

Eric Mack also wrote about the application recently:

and will likely cover it a bit in his upcoming webinar:

I saw a link to the Gyronix site in Pocket PC Magazine and it looked interesting. However nothing on the site really describes much about what the program does. Very few screenshots, no product tour, and very little about what the applications specifically does or how to use it. I have used Mind Manager for about three years now at home for my personal productivity. While Gyro X piques my interest, detailed information about the application does not appear to be available on the Gyronix website. I really need to see more regarding what an application does and what it looks like, etc.

Yes, I see that there is a demo but I do not like to install demos for every application that catches my eye — my registry would become cluttered with the remnants of many applications that just did not work for me.

Where can I find more detailed information about Gyro X?

Thank you.

By far the most important to me is the "Put it in front of the door" automatic dashboard generation script. I've customized my dashboards somewhat and I like to have notes in the dashboards–requiring approximately 30-40 minutes to regenerate the 5 dashboards I use every day. By scheduling it, I don't have to waste time getting started in the morning and can hit the ground running.

The next best one is clearly the MindReader "q" tag. I find that having the script automatically select the right map, add in proper contexts, set dates and deadlines for the task is an incredible timesaver. When I'm doing my weekly planning I need to quickly enter tasks directly into the maps and don't want to be interrupted so I use the same syntax and then at the end of my planning I select all the new, uncategorized topics and use the "c" tag to process them in place.

ActivityOwner just created the new, extremely fast "mtc" tag that marks a task complete and saves it into an archive map. With the incredible speed, this has become a staple for me. I've made it the default macro for Alt-c,v.

I wonder when Gyronix will expand the number of tag slots so we don't have to continuously vote tags "off the island"?
