DESCRIPTION
MacJournal is the world's most popular journaling software for the Macintosh. Create a personal journal with two level security (password protection and encryption), record daily ideas, add any kind of content, not just text, including PDFs, QuickTime movies, images, and more, create Smart Journals from searches you perform, generate blogs to any of the popular blogging services or .mac account. Even record audio and podcast or video from your iSight and attach it to any entry.
MacJournal has the power and functionality to do it all.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 5.2b7:
- Search is now entirely done in the background, making large data sets and/or lots of smart journals a lot faster.
- There was also a bug introduced in one of the betas that could cause an issue if you edit an entry in a smart journal but this has been fixed here.
- The file naming scheme for attachments in HTML file has been changed to reduce duplicates on the server.
- There are a few smaller fixes, such as:
- the appearance of MacJournal in the Spotlight menu on non-English systems
- typing styles between entries
- a weird tab bar one
- and others.
REQUIREMENTS
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later
- QuickTime 7.2 or later

JENJENN I prefer Bravobug's Milife diary app and am a big fan. very cute software, very fun to use, and a lot easier interface (IMO) than macjournal. i'd also recommend people check out Writeroom for regular writing / word processing. Milife and Writeroom both have fullscreen modes that are great for staying focused. they are my two main writing apps right now.

GAZMAN You know, just because a beta update is posted to MacUpdate doesn't mean you have to download it. If you don't want to beta test software wait until the next point update.

DANA SUTTON I guess I'm the reverse of most people who have written reviews about MacJournal lately. I. m. h. o., what started out as a simple, straightforward and clean journal app. has morhed into a monster (and a rather expensive monster at that) by trying to be all things to all people, acquiring a gazillion extraneous bells and whistles. And some folks in this thread are begging for yet more of the same. I'm sticking to v. 3, and I'm certainly not forking out money for an upgrade, which only encourages the developer, who ought to have known how to quit when he was ahead.

DOOBIEXX Completely agree. It was the intuitive simplicity that drove me to macjournal a long time ago over the competitors who have come and stuck around. macjournal is too bloated. It's supposed to be simply a "journal," not a "everything you could want to do with text on the web or your personal computer." Mariner makes good products but it's getting worse it seems. Definitely some nice features added along the way but back to basics would be the best, at least for us users who bought the app when it was what we wanted.

GERBER Blogging was a natural progression from journaling. And, to some degree, so is the ability to store all kinds of different rich content -- we often record more than text these days, so why not store it in your diary? The program remains elegant, stable, and easy to use, and has become a real B+ blogging and snippet keeping app. Nothing wrong with versatility!

MEITNIK The original MJ didn't impress me but it looked promising for sure. As a blog/Journal tool it is very useful and powerful. The manual (with great screen shots) is better than most I have recently read, though it does have some rough areas. It needs a quick start guide and better coverage of Applescript support. And it fails to explain well how it handles import of text/opml data, which is important for bringing data from files. An example raw text/RTF for import that gets parsed into a journal and entries would be good. As for features, MJ has done a good job understanding what is needed for bloging and journal writing. However, I would like it to support scholarship stuff too, like source tacking and citation (perhaps via tags somehow?). I do wish hilighting text was more than just coloring. It would be useful to put all the blue text into a smart journal. And some kind of annotation tools for pictures would be good too. I do like how it can suck in a folder and its files into MJ. I love quick notes and the import droplets. And internal linking is good with support for aliasing entries which is wonderful. I do wish some how to paste text that gets parsed into a journal and entries. Finally, I want real outlining in the text area of an entry. I did encounter some crashers and bugs, but Dan was great at helping me and fixing them for newer betas. I look forward to using MJ. :-)

DOLSHEA As a Web Marketing Strategist, MacJournal has changed my workflow forever... When surfing the web prior to using MacJournal I saved to a folder on my desktop to store my daily research which eventually became a 'hot-mess' to navigate. With the help of MacJournal storing relevant information from the web is a breeze. To my surprise when surfing the web MacJournal was available as a printing or save to option from Services in the Safari browser... Collecting, mashing up, finalizing and uploading data has finally become intuitive given my professional needs. I highly recommend MacJournal for marketing and research professionals who're looking for a simple and intuitive solution to collecting and compiling data from the web. And if you throw in DevonAgent to search the web, OMFG!!!

WALRUSCP This is a terrific piece of software (got it in the MU Ed bundle) that makes blogging/journaling an enjoyable breeze. Had a minor issue with making numbered lists in 5.1.1, but the developers were responsive and fixed the problem in the 5.1.2b1. Can't beat that.
