It has wiki-linking, labels, fullscreen and blogging as well as sound and video recording. Bad folder structure aside, MacJournal has all the features I would expect. Although journals can be placed inside each other, I really don’t like how the hierarchy works.
I’m not sure if journals in MacJournal are supposed to act like folders, but I’m not feeling it. Journler: 8/10 – A nice, consistent interface that could use a couple tweaks. MacJournal: 7/10 – This would be a really solid interface if Mariner would just redo those buttons! I also like the more integrated header in Journler because it is both easier to fill out and, in my opinion, looks better. Magically, Journler finds out what your system folder icons and uses them in its sidebar. I prefer the calender in Journler and I obviously prefer Journler’s toolbar icons. Overall, the Journler interface is quite similar to that of MacJournal. The main change is that I noticed is slightly more spacing in the entry list. The Journler interface recieved a pretty small facelift with the latest update. Although this makes more sense I still think it looks a little odd (however, the plastic finish on the buttons is nice). The entry selection buttons (on the far left of the toolbar) are a little odd because they go up and down rather than left/right. One thing I do not like is that while in three-pane view, the entry list does not have an alternating background. The calender looks a bit odd swimming in a see of white space when one’s sidebar is extra wide but otherwise it looks a-okay. The option to display entries either in the sidebar or above the actual entry text (like you would see messages in Mail) is nice. I’m not crazy about the fullscreen here (but I’m not really big on fullscreen writing anyway) but it is quite customizable. Those hideous, Panther-y icons are what’s really killing this interface. I mean, they have a new dock icon, I don’t think it would kill them to get some new toolbar icons as well. However, one thing I simply do not get is the fact that some of those godawful toolbar icons from v2 are still hanging around. It is starting to look like a nice, Leopard-worthy app. I must say, kudos to Mariner for the improvements in the MacJournal interface. So now, considering that MacJournal has just released a new version and Journler will soon be going commercial, I figured I would do a “fairer” match-up. 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 people did not like the agèd nature of MacJournal during the original match. 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.
