But, to tell you the truth, I might be just as happy schlepping my Macbook Air around. I carry the iPad and iPhone around religiously, when I leave home. I have an iPhone and an iPad, in addition to a laptop. However, I am beginning to question the need to use all of these ‘gadgets’ that require syncing. I haven’t tried MacJournal mainly because of the weakness you site regarding Dropbox syncing.

Evernote is password protected, but that doesn’t mean the data isn’t available to modern day hackers. I don’t worry about that so much, but others might. Although there is no evidence that anyone’s data was accessed, that is always a risk with a cloud-based journaling program. I can also attach files, such as mind maps, to my journal entries in Evernote. I like being able to keep my journals together with all my other notes in one place, rather than a separate journaling program. You don’t have multiple notebooks on Day One. I can access my journal on the Evernote website from any machine and I can use multiple notebooks for my journaling. You can only attach one photo per journal entry, for example, and the formmating options are limited.Īfter a month or so of using Day One, I decided to switch back to Evernote. Day One is specifically designed for journaling, but also has weaknesses. Rather, I started using Day One, which is an excellent journaling program and syncs easily and reliably using either iCloud or Dropbox. When I started journaling last year, I didn’t use Evernote because of some of the weaknesses you sight. If you would like to see an article about another writing or journaling tool - electronic or not - please leave a comment. _ Note: I have no financial interest in Evernote and the statements in this post are purely personal opinion. Evernote on the Web constantly updates all of my computers and devices with the latest versions of my notes.ĭo you use Evernote? If so, how do you use it? If you’ve not heard of or used Evernote, try it out and then let me know what you think. In contrast, Evernote syncs my iPad with the cloud version and the next time I open the app - on any of my devices or computer - my entry is already there and waiting for me to read, edit, or continue writing.Īnd, perhaps best of all, I can access my work from any computer that is connected to the internet. For example, if I create an entry on my iPad, it will not show up on my computer without first ensuring that both are on the same network and then launching a sync command. If I want to sync my devices, I have to open the app and tell it to sync. MacJournal and many other journaling apps, though available on my computer and IOS devices, do not exist on the cloud. But these are limitations I’m willing to accept all for the convenience of that unthinking sync. For someone who is constantly on the run, this feature overrides Evernote’s weaknesses: it has limited formatting options (for example, I have no control over line spacing or number and bullet formatting) I can’t zoom in or out to change the view - if I want to see larger type, I have to change the font size Evernote does not sync with my WordPress site, as MacJournal does and I can group notebooks only into two levels.
If I write anything in Evernote, it’s immediately accessible to me elsewhere.
Of these reasons, the fact that Evernote syncs my notebooks to all devices and the cloud without my thinking about it or initiating the sync is the most compelling. It’s versatile, allowing me to capture web pages, research, pdf’s, photography, video, and sound recordings, all in one place.It’s easy to organize different notebooks for different purposes.It syncs seamlessly and automatically between all my devices.It’s on all my devices - my computer, my iPhone, and my iPad, AND in the cloud (the Internet).Evernote isn’t perfect, and it has limitations, but it’s probably my most-used app at this time for journaling, freewriting, capturing ideas, and writing blog posts.
