Good grief! I hadn’t realised just how powerful MacJournal is!

You can effectively use it as a full-scale info management app. There’s rich text and markdown, tagging, templates, “smart” journals (= smart folders), entry (= document/note) aliases, a timeline view, a calendar view, flagging, sorting, hierarchical journal view that includes entries for sub-journals, customisable info bars, word count, attachments, labels, due dates, priorities, status, powerful search function that includes saved searches, geolocation, even ratings and mood…

Well. Rather than me giving a full rundown of all the features, I’d recommend a quick read of the user manual, which is nice and streamlined (http://marinersoftware.com/wp-content/themes/euston/userguides/mjr-userguide.pdf)

Having thought I was downloading a relatively simple piece of journaling software, I’ve discovered something that in its own way, is as powerful as most dedicated info management apps. It looks as if this is going to replace a whole bunch of note-taking apps. Not least because as well as all these lovely features, it’s very fast to load, and has a very neat QuickNote facility that allows you to take rich-text notes whenever you want to.

Frankly, I’m somewhat blown away.
