Using this guide This user guide assumes that you have a basic knowledge of Mac OS X. Y ou should understand pointing, clicking, double-clicking, dragging and dropping, and how to select items in the menus.
Basic terminology a nd ideas MacJournal is an extremely flexible and versatile tool for storing text, but for consistency , it uses several standard ways to refer to the containers that you’ll store your writing and other creative materials within the program.
Cha pter 2: Journaling Journaling is a powerful form of expression, and MacJournal provides you with the tools to take it even further . However , at its most basic level, MacJournal is about storing your thoughts, feelings, or whatever else, in an ordered journal, just like pages in a notebook.
The ma in windo w 1 To o l b a r : A standard Mac OS X style toolbar . The specific buttons available can be customized (see Customizing the toolbar ).
Cr eating and delet ing journals T o create a new journal, click the + button at the bottom of the Source List, choose File → New Journal… or hit ⇧⌘ N . In the resulting sheet, enter the journal’s name, choose a location for your journal, and pick an icon from the selection provided.
Cr eating and delet ing entr ies T o create a new entry , click the New toolbar button (shown at right), choose File → New Entry , or hit ⌘ N . By default, your cursor will be in the T opic field in the information bar . If you wish to leave the topic blank, simply hit tab and you can begin editing the entry’s text.
The Timeline view The default view in MacJournal is the Edit view , which displays the main window as described above (See The main window ). However , MacJournal has two other view modes - T imeline and Calendar - that allow you to configure your journa l and entries display in different ways.
The Calenda r view The Calendar view displays the sidebar in the left pane and, depending on your choice, a monthly or yearly calendar in the main area. 1 T o enter the Calendar view , select Vie w Mode from the View menu, and choose Calendar , or click the Calendar view button in the T oolbar .
Using the Quick Note window Y ou can use the Quick Note window to add entries to MacJournal from within any application without needing to switch back to MacJournal. Before you can use Quick Notes, you’ll need to set up a shortcut in the preferences (see General ).
Adding a udio and video Sometimes you need to capture more than just text to get your point across. Fortunately , MacJournal allows you to quickly add audio or video to your entries. For advanced functions, such as adding recording time to a new entry line, see Recording Preferences .
Any entries with audio or video attached will be marked in the Source List or Entries pane with a speaker icon (shown at right). In the recording bar , the gear menu gives you access to a number of different options for working with your audio or video file: • Settings.
Non-text entr ies MacJournal is very versatile. Not only can you store your written words, but you can also add files to your journal. This allows you to use MacJournal documents as general-purpose scrapbooks and information managers.
Importing entr ies What do you do with all your writings prior to your purchase of MacJournal? Fortunately , you can import your writing, and its very easy to do. T o import an entry , choose File → Import and choose the option that suits you: • T ext or Attachments.
Cr eating a n Import Dr oplet Import droplets are little applications that sit in the finder waiting to help you route files into a specific journal in MacJournal. Y ou simply “drop” the file onto the droplet and it is routed into the droplet’s journal.
W orking with the Side bar Sour ce List a nd Calenda r In general, moving entries and journals about is as easy as dragging and dropping them in the Source List. Journals can be nested to any depth and clicking on a journal in the Source List will display all of the entries in that journal and its children in the main area.
Cha pter 3: Bl ogging a nd Shar ing MacJournal doesn’t restrict you to personal journaling, but provides a conduit between your personal computer and the broader world through blogging. MacJournal supports many popular blogs including LiveJournal, WordPress, Blogger , and T umblr .
Configur ing a b log serv er Although you can post any entry to any blog, blog servers are associated with specific journals within your MacJournal document. This allows you to easily separate out the entries that you have posted publicly from those you do not wish to share.
P osting ima ges a nd attachments The blog settings window will tell you if your blog supports uploading attachments (such as pictures) by default. Most blogs, other than Blogger , which publishes pictures automatically to Picasa, and WordPress, will not.
P osting photos to Pi casa If you have configured a Blogger or WordPress account, you can skip this page. T o post an entry with photos, the photos must be stored somewhere online. There are many online photo-sharing services, such as Picasa. Here is how to use photos in a Picasa web album.
P osting a n entry 1 Select the entry you wish to publish to your blog in the Source List or entries pane. 2 Choose Share → Send to “Y our blog name”… (if you’ve already configured a blog for this journal) or Share → Send to other blog… .
Embedding a Y ouT ube video in an Entry T o embed a Y ouTube video in an entry: 1 Paste the URL that Y ouT ube provides on a separate line in the entry (to keep the text-flow working well). 2 Go into your Blog Server settings ( Journal → Blog Settings.
Scheduling a bl o g post 1 Create an entry from the Calendar by clicking on a date in the future, or create an entry and change its date and time to the future. 2 Choose Share → Send to “Y our blog name” or otherwise publish the entry to your blog (see Posting an entry ).
Multiple entr ies a nd the Activity V ie w er Y ou can publish multiple entries at once, as long as they are all going to the same server . Simply select the entries you wish to publish in the Source List or entries pane and follow the standard steps for posting an entry .
Ema il an entry If you want to share an entry but don’t want to publish it online for everyone to see, you can easily email the entry from within MacJournal.
Cha pter 4: W orking with Entr ies Although by default MacJournal provides you with a simple way to organize date-based entries in your journals, it also allows you to attach a plethora of metadata to your entries to help you better organize and keep track of them.
Adding fields to the Entr ies P a ne T o display # extra fields in the entry pane, simply do the following: 1 Click on the small arrow at the right end of the table header (assuming the entry pane is on top - see the next page for different locations).
Cha nging the Entry P a ne location MacJournal is easy to customize. The entry pane can display on the left, top, or right of the display window . Displaying the entry pane on the left makes a three column view . On top, the default, is a familiar interface for Mail.
The Inspector: entr ies The Inspector is an important tool for customizing your document, journals, and entries. T o open the Inspector , click the Inspector button in the toolbar , choose Wind ow → Inspector , or hit ⌥⌘ I .
• Editable: Uncheck this to lock the entry and disallow editing. • Flagged: Check this if you want to flag the entry . Flagged entries have a flag instead of the default entry icon in the Source List and entries pane, similar to Apple Mail. Y ou can also flag an entry by choosing Entry → Flag or hitting ⇧⌘ L .
T aggin g entr ies T agging your entries can be a handy way to organize and filter them outside of journals. A tag is merely a short keyword or phrase that you can later use to find or sort your entry .
Using the media br o wser The Media browser window helps you quickly find media to insert into an entry . The browser handles photos, audio, movies, and Links. 1 Open the media browser window by selecting Window>Media or hitting ⌘ 2. The Media Browser appears.
Customizing the info ba r The info bar is the gray bar at the top of the main area. By default the info bar displays the title of the entry , but you can customize it to include a number of different pieces of information about the entry .
F ocused editing / Full scr een modes MacJournal allows you to edit your entries in a no-distraction environment, by taking advantage of its Focused Editing mode or OSX Lion’s full screen mode. T o use the focused editing mode: 1 Select a journal entry .
Editing entr ies Sometimes, you may want to edit an entry in its own window . T o do so, choose Edit in Separate Window from the Entry menu. Y our new entry window will display the information bar , main area, and status bar (including the entry’s location within your document).
W r iting timer MacJournal lets you set a writing timer to accompany your entries. T o use the writing timer: 1 Choose Tim e r from the Window menu, or hit ⌘ 4 . 2 Choose between Tim e r mode, which counts down the time spent on your entry , and Stopwatch mode, which monitors the amount of time you are spending.
Entry aliases Sometimes you might find it helpful to not have a hierarchical organization of your journals and entries. Smart journals and entry aliases are the tools to help you achieve the organization you desire. By making an alias to an entry you create a “pointer” or “reference” back to the original entry .
Cha pter 5: W orking with Journals Journaling is a powerful form of expression. Whether you are looking for introspection or wish to share your writings with the public, MacJournal has the facilities to do either . Journals are the containers for entries or other journals.
Back g r ounds Using the Inspector , you can set the background for the entire MacJournal document, on a per journal basis, or per entry . For the purposes of this section, we will look at backgrounds for journals. T o set a background for an entry , see The Inspector: entries .
Te m p l a t e s T emplates are pre-defined settings and/or content for entries in your document or journal. For instance, if you set up a travel journal, you may wish to have several tags automatically created for every entry .
Cr eating a template 1 Select a journal from the sidebar , and open the Inspector window . The settings for the current document, journal, and entry are displayed in the Inspector . 2 Under either the Document or Journal section, see the T emplate option.

Important notes about encryption There are several things to note about encrypting journals: • Encrypted journals will not be available for Spotlight to index, making their contents unfindable in Spotlight. • If storing files within the MacJournal data file (internally), the file size can become quite large.
