![]() This update will be free for everyone with a capable system. There will be a brand new update of MacJournal soon that supports High Sierra and Mojave, including Dark Mode. In addition to the migration of the product back to Dan Schimpf Software, MacJournal will be removed from the Mac App Store on March 1, 2019. Inquiries can be sent to: or by visiting. A new update will be out soon for all existing customers.” Mariner will shift MacJournal support and customer service to Dan Schimpf Software effective March 1, 2019. I look forward to improving it in the future with some great new improvements. “I started MacJournal in 2001 and it has grown into one of the most popular journaling apps on the Mac. In the end it’s really a win-win for the product.” Mariner’s attention is on other products in our line and Dan would prefer to keep MacJournal under the Dan Schimpf Software brand. “Dan and Mariner have enjoyed a fantastic working relationship over the years but both our focus has changed. “The landscape has changed significantly since 2005,” said Michael Wray, President of Mariner Software. Effective March 1, 2019, MacJournal is reverting back to the developer, Dan Schimpf Software. 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.Minneapolis, MN – Since January of 2005, Mariner Software has been the exclusive distributor for MacJournal. It looks as if this is going to replace a whole bunch of note-taking apps. 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. 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 ( ) 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… You can effectively use it as a full-scale info management app. Good grief! I hadn’t realised just how powerful MacJournal is! I love the fact that I can directly attach family videos into my journals. I only recently appreciated how MacJournal is such an advanced journaling software. I too hope Mariner or Dan continue maintaining and offering MacJournal. Although in the macOS journal market MacJournal has been somewhat eclipsed by the relative newcomer Day One, I strongly agree with you that MacJournal is a good product, and not just for journaling. I thought other MJ users would be glad to get this news, even if it is a bit vague. So I was beginning to worry the software was abandoned. MJ hasn’t had an update in almost two years, and the developer, Dan Schimpf (Mariner distributes), hasn’t updated his blog, which was updated frequently, in almost two years also. That’s good news for a really terrific writing app. I got a short and not very detailed reply saying, “Yes, we are working on a new update now.” For those of you interested, I tweeted to Mariner Software and asked if MacJournal was still being developed. ![]() I think there are a few MacJournal users on this forum.
