Mac Note Software: Journaler

For those who are smart enough to have chosen a Mac as their principle platform, you know that for the most part, Apple includes out-of-the-box all of the applications that a standard user will probably need. For students, however, a note-taking application isn’t included. While there are several solutions that are free, most are pretty lightweight and don’t have all of the features that I look for in an application. Among the freeware applications, the one I settled on is called Journaler.

Elegant, beautiful, powerful. Journler is a place for your thoughts and everything they touch.

Featuring iLife integration, audio and video entries, extensive document importing and instantaneous searching and filtering, not to mention Mail, iWeb and Address Book integration, a dash of blogging and AppleScript and Spotlight support.

Journler is a daily notebook and entry based information manager. Scholars, teachers, students, professors, scientists, thinkers, the business minded and writers of every persuasion use it on a daily basis to connect the written word with the media most important to them.

Among the many features not listed in the blurb above that I find useful are:

• Smart Folders
• iPod Note Exports
• Tabbed Editing
• Dropbox
• Entry Tags
• Most of all, its price

I’ve used Journaler for two weeks as of today, and I must say that it does everything that I could possibly ask for. Although nothing can compare to OneNote for Windows, Journaler is a lightweight but full-featured note management application.
