That sounds like an interesting combination, Matt. I keep hearing about people using Journler to do more than just make diary entries.

I’m working right now on a comparative review of DEVONThink Pro, KIT, SOHO Notes, and Yojimbo, and should have it ready some time this week.

I use Journler and Yojimbo in conjunction with each other. Yojimbo for general life notes, and Journler for class notes. I find that this works well. Also, Journler is more suited to just text notes etc. whereas Yojimbo can have different formats. (Password, Bookmark etc.)

I have just gotten the trail of DevonThink Pro and I’m playing around with it now. It seems to be more of a “file organiser” than note taker I think, comparable to the program KIT. (Keep It Together)

Thanks for the note, snozle.

I’ve been using Journler for a few months now, but haven’t gotten around to writing a review of it yet. I use it primarily as a diary of thoughts and actions, so I can look back weeks or months later and relive the horrors of my first round of 1L finals, for example. If Kinkless+iCal is what I’m *going* to be doing, Journler is what I’ve already done. However, I’m sure there are people using it far more creatively than I.

Looks like it’s time for me to get working on that review.

First off, I would like to say great review. I have been using Yojimbo in trial mode for about a week now and can’t help but wish it was a bit more powerful.

I got a license for DevonThink bundled with MacHeist but it seems to have an incredibly precipitous learning curve. The other day, however, I came across an app that seems to fall in between Yojimbo and DevonThink, Journler. I was wondering if you have tried out Journler and if you did what your thoughts were.
