A few days ago I wrote about my need for something better than the Apple Notes app for my memo book. I’ve been using Notes for 10 years and it works well but I’d like something that takes care of adding time stamps for me and is a little more seamless.
I wrote that I’d discovered Journelly and that it seemed like it might be a good fit for my needs but that it was still pre-beta software. Now Ramírez has announced that he has an official beta program running that you can sign up for. If it seems like something that would be useful for you, you should sign up for the beta and give it a try.
Ramírez says that the app doesn’t (yet) support entering items orally but notes that you can use the system dictation facility for this. My reaction when I saw that was, “Duh. Of course.” I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening in Notes. I’ve never programmed in the iOS environment so I’m pretty much a luser where it’s concerned and don’t have a good mental picture of what’s happening under the covers.
I’m not ready to commit to adopting Journelly for my memo book because it’s an important part of my workflow but I do think I’ll sign up for the beta and at least play around with it. If it is as good as it looks, I’ll probably use it seriously as soon as there is an official release.
