It’s also an outliner (and given my long-term relationship with Tines, that’s another big plus). Start typing, and it supports Markdown (a big plus)… oh, wait. You’re presented with a journal page with today’s date on it, but otherwise blank. The interface looks invitingly plain, at first. The developer says he was heavily influenced by Roam Research, Org Mode (Logseq supports Org Mode, although it defaults to Markdown), Tiddlywiki, and Workflowy. It can run either as a webapp, writing to your hard drive, or as a standalone desktop app. #JOURNLER APP HOW TO#The developers describe it as “a privacy-first, open source knowledge base,” and the videos they link to from the home page (an enthusiastic user who describes how to make the most of it) convinced me to give it a try. Someone suggested Logseq last week, and it sounded interesting enough to give it a try. I gave it as honest a chance as I could-downloading both the MacOS and iOS apps-and even with the daily prompt on my phone, I never really warmed up to it. Day One came highly recommended, and had the huge advantage of both Mac and iOS apps that talked to each other. Recently, I started looking at journaling apps. And yet, I’m always keeping my nose in the air, sniffing for a better way of doing things. Perhaps my longest-running attempt has been using Tines to keep notes and to-do lists organized. Google Keep held my interest for a long time but I’m trying to extricate myself as much as possible from Google these days-and if I could find something better that isn’t WordPress, I’d go through the hassle of moving everything. Evernote was okay, until they crippled the free version to support only two devices (previously five). As Journler wheezed and died, I tried a variety of paper and app systems to capture stuff I wanted to come back to later. #JOURNLER APP CODE#The source code for Journler has been available on Github for a long time, but I just now found out about it.īut I digress. I continued to use it to capture flash fiction, scenes, and chunks of longer stories, until it became unusable. Over the years, Journler slowly sunk into the morass of apps that got left behind by advances in MacOS. They broke the posting mechanism that Journler used, and now they’re concentrating on keeping it deliberately broken for Safari users. Of course, Google likes to screw around with Blogger. The thing I really liked about it back then was, it could post an entry straight to Blogger. ![]() Check out its extensive feature list, and keep in mind it hasn't been updated for all the new goodies in the 2.1 beta.Some 15 years ago, I was enjoying Journler. Journler is an excellent app that I highly recommend if you're tired of leaving text files and images lying around. It's a pretty straight-forward request, and more information is available in either a Journler preference pane, or on the web here. #JOURNLER APP LICENSE#It's still donationware for personal use (and I highly encourage you to show Philip some love for all his hard work if you're using it), but a $24.95 license - a steal at that price, especially in comparison to Yojimbo or SOHO Notes - is now required for any institutions, businesses, organizations or individuals who are using Journler in their daily routines and/or simply making money with it. Lastly, Journler's license has also received an update. #JOURNLER APP DOWNLOAD#I'm sure a lot more has been added to an already excellent app, and the discussion is ensuing in this Journler forum thread, where you can also download a copy of the beta. ![]() Unparalleled iLife integration is better than ever with a dedicated button for calling various media browsers in the bottom right of the window, and a new in-line resources panel on the right helps you to keep track of all the images, audio, video and documents you have linked and embedded in the present entry. At first glance, the app has obviously joined many others in the new realm of the Unified toolbar, and the rest of the UI has received a lot of polish. As far as what's new, Philip stated in the beta download forum thread that there are simply too many changes to list (hopefully he means 'for now'), so he's taken the 'push some buttons and have fun!' route. ![]() #JOURNLER APP UPDATE#Philip Dow has announced a significant update to Journler, his feature-packed writing/digital junk drawer app that topped my list of apps that help you get organized. ![]()
