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 5.2b12:
- Mostly assorted small updates in this one.
- There's a "Reveal in Finder" button in the Advanced Preferences to show the current main data file in the Finder (which will help me with support).
- For Leopard or Snow Leopard users, the behavior of smart quotes in tricky situations should be much better.
- A few crashes are fixed, HTML formatting should be improved for links with smart quotes in them, the entries list should hide correctly after a search, and so forth.
- Let me know of any problems as this will likely be released sometime this month.
REQUIREMENTS
- Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later
- QuickTime 7.2 or later

ARCHIETHEARCHIVER Version 5.1.4 works with my Logitech usb camera but none of the 5.2 beta's do. Hopefully this will be fixed when the final version is released. So this rating is for the beta version.

RICOBLUES Great app, great developer. Starting years ago under Panther, now under Snow Leopard, I keep in it all my digital life & infos. Now I'm waiting for the iPhone version to keep all my infos in my pocket. Great value.

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. :-)
