Journal is not without its limitations however and I again was seeking out an alternative for my work.  I have had slightly higher success and probably my favorite app is VoodooPad, which is a native cocoa wiki.  Alas, however, the structure of a wiki may not be the best for organizing a linear progression of work (and yet has lots of advantages as well) but compounded by the $40 price tag I was put off.  I turned back to my app, Journal, and decided it really wouldn’t take too much work to make Journal a whole lot better.  So I quickly implemented some extra features (rich-text editing and image/pdf incorporation) and turned out the next release of this software.  My hope is again that some will enjoy it.

You can download Journal 1.2 here.
