We've made it easy for you.
We've created and designed MacJournal, the world's most popular journalism application for the Mac, so that you can start writing and express yourself the moment you launch it. Easily create a journal - for your dreams, your family or a special time of life - anything. Then, take the plunge and write your entry. It can be your first thoughts of the day, a summary of a good book or just to unload from the week. With MacJournal, the only limitation is the one you set for yourself.

Life is more than just words!
There's color, sound and imagery and you can put all of it into your journals with MacJournal. A Media Browser is included which allows you to select a favorite song from iTunes, a photo from your Pictures library - even a YouTube video - and add it to an entry. Your journals will be as rich with sight and sound as the event itself.
