Day One can't do this however, and that's my most important requirement, so that's one more app on the heap. I envision something very similar to "Smart Mailboxes" in macOS Mail or "Smart Playlists" in iTunes. with both work and personal tags), and then easily/rapidly query all entries that have a given tag (or tags). If I have a thought that corresponds to say both work and personal categories, I'd be able to tag an entry appropriately (i.e. Also just discovered that in Day One, entries can only be associated with a single journal.
#Macjournal alternative update#
On another note, a quick update re MacJournal: I contacted the developer (Mariner Software) and got a rapid reply that the app is in fact in development (despite > 2 years of no updates and a very obsolete interface and feature set) and that "we have updates coming out for both the Mac and iOS later this year." No specifics (on either more precise timing or what kinds of functionality might be expected), but that's a least a small encouragement.įor now though I remain stuck. if so this is understandable but very unfortunate). i'm guessing that didn't work out, and the developer simply hasn't been able to figure out a viable business model. I wish it were viable - however (as of relatively recently I think?) active development on the app ceased, and the developer isn't responding to emails (pure speculation on my part: the developer tried switching to a subscription model a while back. I came across Dyrii and in many respects it looks very attractive. So, wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these two apps, or any advice or thoughts about alternatives?
re compatibility with future OS upgrades, etc.). This gives me pause, as I’d rather not invest (not just money but also especially time and effort) in an app that doesn’t have a clear future (esp. On the other hand, from what I can see, the program hasn’t been updated in more than two years. Re MacJournal, it has a number of attractive functions, including excellent formatting capabilities and a distraction-free mode in which all graphical elements are hidden/obscured so one can focus simply on writing. That an app primarily meant to deal with text is (dramatically) less capable than Apple's simple TextEdit app is disappointing and somewhat off-putting. one can't underline text, or set an arbitrary color. On the other hand, Day One's interface isn't particularly Mac-like, and it does not support rich text formatting - e.g. It's neat that entries here on MR.com can be tagged with not just one but multiple tags and then queried or sorted using those tags, and I highly value having that kind of flexibility in categorizing and retrieving journal entries.
I’m currently considering several possibilities, including Day One and MacJournal.ĭay One is attractive for several reasons, including its robust iCloud synching and especially its flexibility with tags. I intend to make most of entries on my Mac with its keyboard, and less often with my iPhone on the go. I'm looking for a journaling app for my Mac and my iPhone.
