Journler - Wherever Life Takes You

Journler - Wherever Life Takes You

I was pointed to this resource by a colleague, Robert Walker, who is using Journler to track his research project. After downloading it and making several entries, I believe that Journler could be a valuable research tool and, thus, wanted to share it with all of you.

Journler is a software program for Mac OS 10.4 (and older version exists for 10.3.9) that allows one to keep a journal on your computer. Journler integrates with your other applications like iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, etc. and you can also record strait into the program, keeping digital notes for yourself on a given project. I personally will be using it to track my musings on different projects, especially on qualitative research projects. Two additional perks: it is searchable, and?  you can create “smart folders” that allow folders to add entries based on a set of given criteria. One example is my dream journal - it adds any entries with the category of “Dreams.”

The possibilities are many. Check it out and see if it could be right for you.

    I’ll add my voice of support for Journler â??? I’ve been using it since early in it’s v1.0 beta phase (perhaps a couple of years). It also has the ability to encrypt your journal, so if you have sensitive information to keep track of, it works well for that too (I keep all my software serial numbers, and various passwords in a Journler file).

    Journler is donationware for personal use… so you can use it for free â??? if you like it, and use it regularly, please consider making a small donation to the developer to help keep development going.

Speak your mind...
